A few weeks ago Soly put a call out on the Refuge for a list of listener questions for Dr. Sasho MacKenzie. We got some fantastic responses and what was planned as an add-on to a Sunday pod became more than enough material for a standalone episode. From his research on putting to the Stack wedge program and advice on improving during the cold weather months, we cover a ton of ground and hope you enjoy the chat.

Pastor Nicole takes on a big one: Purity Culture. The purity culture myth shaped an entire generation in ways many of us are still uncovering. What was framed as a path to holiness often became a system built on fear, shame, and strict expectations. It didn't just influence behavior. It reshaped identity, self-worth, and how […] The post Myth Busters // Purity Culture appeared first on Refuge.Church.

The phrase “love the sinner hate the sin” is familiar in many churches.However, it has also caused deep harm—especially to LGBTQ+ people, single parents, and anyone who has ever felt judged by Christians. In this message, Pastor David explores where the phrase came from, why it's not biblical, and how Jesus offers a better way—one rooted in […] The post Myth Busters // Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin appeared first on Refuge.Church.

Despite all we know about the Civil War, its causes, battles, characters, issues, impacts, and legacy, few books have explored Canada's role in the bloody conflict that claimed more than 600,000 lives. Until From Underground Railroad to Rebel Refuge: Canada and the Civil War (ECW Press, 2022) by Brian Martin. A surprising 20,000 Canadians went south to take up arms on both sides of the conflict, while thousands of enslaved people, draft dodgers, deserters, recruiters, plotters, and spies fled northward to take shelter in the attic that is Canada. Though many escaped slavery and found safety through the Underground Railroad, they were later joined by KKK members wanted for murder. Confederate President Jefferson Davis along with several of his emissaries and generals found refuge on Canadian soil, and many plantation owners moved north of the border. Award-winning journalist Brian Martin will open eyes in both Canada and the United States to how the two countries and their citizens interacted during the Civil War and the troubled times that surrounded it. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The start of a new year often arrives with a lot of noise.Resolutions, expectations, fresh starts and quiet pressure to be different, better, more together than before.And yet, many of us are beginning this year feeling tender.The world feels intense.Politics, global events, uncertainty and constant information can leave the nervous system overwhelmed before the day has even begun.So rather than asking “What should I achieve this year?”Perhaps a kinder question is:How do I want to feel supported as I move forward?This is where yoga and sangha comes in.The Quiet Power of Practising TogetherWhen we practise yoga together, something subtle but profound happens.Whether we're sharing a studio space, meeting live online or practising alongside one another through a recorded class, we enter a shared field of intention.Breath meets breath.Attention gathers.We remember that yoga has never been meant to be a solitary path.This is sangha, community.A chosen family of the present moment.A sacred space where strangers and friends alike become part of something shared, supportive and quietly luminous.When we move and breathe as part of a group, we tap into a collective energy.A rhythm that can lift us when our own motivation feels low.A steadiness we can lean into when focus flickers or faith wavers.Sometimes encouragement is simple and silent…seeing someone else keep going and feeling, if they can, maybe I can too.This is how accountability softens into devotion.Not through pressure or perfection,but through returning.Returning to the mat.Returning to the body and breath.Returning to a sense of connection.A Time of Many PerspectivesThis time of year holds many different experiences.For some, there is hope and renewal.For others, fatigue, grief or a sense of disorientation still lingers.Some feel close to home.Others feel far from it… within their families, their communities or even themselves.Yoga doesn't ask you to feel festive, resolved or certain.It doesn't require you to have a clear plan or a perfect routine.You are always welcome to arrive exactly as you are.Belonging in yoga isn't something we earn or get right.It's something we cultivate, moment by moment, through presence, honesty and care.Sangha is built through showing up.Through breath.Through choosing, again and again, not to walk the path alone.A Refuge in a Noisy WorldIn a world that often feels loud and demanding, practice becomes a refuge.A place to step out of the noise.A place to reconnect inwardly.A place where hope doesn't need to shout, it can be quietly felt.Together, we practise through every layer of being:the physical body finding resilience and ease,the energetic body discovering rhythm and flow,the mind settling into clarity,the heart opening to empathy and connection,the spirit remembering its place within something larger.This is gentle transformation.Not forced.Not rushed.But supported.An Open InvitationIf you've fallen out of rhythm with your practice, you are not behind.If your New Year's intentions already feel heavy, you are not failing.If you're starting again, for the first or tenth time, you are exactly where you need to be.You can rejoin a yoga class at any time.You are always welcome.Whether you feel drawn to:live studio classeslive online sessionscurated yoga series you can practise in your own timeor weekly reflections through the Zephyr Yoga Podcastknow that each offering is an invitation into connection, care and shared presence.Here, we practise together.We support and encourage one another.We create sacred space to heal, to inspire and to open gently to change.As this year unfolds, may your practice be less about becoming someone new,and more about remembering what truly matters.You don't have to do this alone.Welcome back to the mat.Welcome to the sangha.Wherever you are…you are welcome here.Zephyr Yoga PodcastLive Online CommunityTeaching Schedule in StudiosSeries – Bundles of Themed PracticesMeditations & Yoga Nidras Hosted on Acast.

Sermon Summary: Joshua – Session 11 (Ending the Year Right)   God Calls His People to Possess What He Has Given As the land is divided in Joshua 17–18, God reminds Israel that the inheritance already belongs to them—but they must rise up and take possession. Delayed obedience, fear of opposition, or spiritual passivity keeps believers from fully walking in God's promises. Incomplete Obedience Leads to Future Struggles Some tribes failed to fully drive out the Canaanites, choosing compromise instead of obedience. What is tolerated today often becomes a snare tomorrow. God calls His people to remove what competes with devotion, not manage it. Faith Requires Action, Not Excuses When tribes complained about limited territory, Joshua challenged them to get up and do the work. God had already given them power, but they had to act in faith. Blessing follows obedience, diligence, and courage—not passivity. The Lord Is Our True Inheritance The Levites received no land because the Lord Himself was their inheritance. This points to a greater truth for believers today: our ultimate reward is not earthly security but life with God. Like Abraham, believers are called to live as pilgrims, prioritizing spiritual inheritance over temporary comfort. God Is a Refuge for the Guilty and Broken The cities of refuge reveal God's mercy. Long before sin occurred, God provided a place of safety. These cities foreshadow Jesus Christ as our refuge, where sinners can flee for forgiveness, protection, and restoration. Salvation Must Be Received, Not Ignored A refuge only saves those who run to it. Jesus is God's provision for sin, but each person must choose to enter. Trusting in goodness, effort, or delay is dangerous—Christ alone is the safe place. A Call to Renewed Commitment As the year closes, the sermon challenges believers to: Be honest with themselves Reject spiritual sluggishness Recommit to disciplined faith Place God first without reservation The message closes with hope: when all hope seems lost, the Lord shows up. God remains faithful, and those who trust Him will find safety, purpose, and victory in Him.

Psalm 711 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;    let me never be put to shame.2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;    turn your ear to me and save me.3 Be my rock of refuge,    to which I can always go;give the command to save me,    for you are my rock and my fortress.4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,    from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord,    my confidence since my youth.6 From birth I have relied on you;    you brought me forth from my mother's womb.    I will ever praise you.7 I have become a sign to many;    you are my strong refuge.8 My mouth is filled with your praise,    declaring your splendor all day long.9 Do not cast me away when I am old;    do not forsake me when my strength is gone.10 For my enemies speak against me;    those who wait to kill me conspire together.11 They say, “God has forsaken him;    pursue him and seize him,    for no one will rescue him.”12 Do not be far from me, my God;    come quickly, God, to help me.13 May my accusers perish in shame;    may those who want to harm me    be covered with scorn and disgrace.14 As for me, I will always have hope;    I will praise you more and more.15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,    of your saving acts all day long—    though I know not how to relate them all.16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;    I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,    and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.18 Even when I am old and gray,    do not forsake me, my God,till I declare your power to the next generation,    your mighty acts to all who are to come.19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,    you who have done great things.    Who is like you, God?20 Though you have made me see troubles,    many and bitter,    you will restore my life again;from the depths of the earth    you will again bring me up.21 You will increase my honor    and comfort me once more.22 I will praise you with the harp    for your faithfulness, my God;I will sing praise to you with the lyre,    Holy One of Israel.23 My lips will shout for joy    when I sing praise to you—    I whom you have delivered.24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts    all day long,for those who wanted to harm me    have been put to shame and confusion.

Is the Bible really the inherent and infallible word Word of God?This question alone can make a lot of people really uneasy. For many of us, we were taught that the Bible must be perfect to be powerful.Inerrant.Infallible.and ultimately never wrong. But what if that belief has actually limited Scripture instead of honoring it? Pastor […] The post Myth Busters // Inherent & Infallible appeared first on Refuge.Church.

Christian Nationalism is a phrase that carries weight. For some, it sounds like faithfulness. For others, it feels like fear. Either way, it demands clarity. Pastor Nicole starts with a simple commitment: to put Jesus Christ at the center. Not a party, a platform, or a nation. Just Jesus.

Patrick Polston - City of Refuge by High Praises Church

 Psalm 46Student Discipleship Pastor, Jacob PrinceSunday December 28, 2025

“Egypt and the Promise of Refuge” is a Christmas sermon rooted in Matthew 2 that centers the nativity story on displacement, protection, and survival. Rather than treating the flight into Egypt as a minor detail, the message focuses on Jesus entering the world as a child threatened by political violence and preserved through refuge. Through a close reading of Matthew 2, the sermon presents Egypt as a place of shelter and preservation, highlighting how the survival of the Christ child depended on the protection and hospitality of unnamed people amid political violence. The sermon calls listeners to trust God as a refuge, to care for their own spiritual well-being, and to practice love for neighbors—especially the vulnerable—as central to the meaning of Christmas.
