The Wilderness E6 — In the Genesis and Exodus wilderness stories, God is present with his people, testing them and teaching them to listen to his voice. Most of the people fail to trust God there, but finally, in 1 Samuel, we meet a character who can succeed in the desolate place, David. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore David's wilderness stories in 1 Samuel 24-26, finding a human who will trust God for provision and listen to his voice.CHAPTERSRecap of the Theme and Setup for David (0:00-17:00)David's Successes and Tests in the Wilderness (17:00-32:00)David's Test With Nabal and Abigail (32:00-43:58)Abigail Saves the Day (43:58-1:05:12)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Walk In The City ft.

We have a Lioness in the studio! Today - we're joined by Eni Aluko. Eni is a broadcaster, football executive and former professional football player who has represented England on the world stage and at the Olympics. She's also a qualified lawyer - there's nothing this woman can't do. Since retiring from professional football - she has become one of the country's most recognisable football pundits. As a former international player, with a lifelong passion for football - Eni is more qualified than anyone for this role - however, the culture of racism and sexism around football has made it an toxic environment for her. We spoke to Eni about the reality of misogyny, racism in football, how she has dealt with the online abuse she is subjected to and how we can move forward to make football a better (or at least more tolerable environment for women) Follow @enialuko on InstagramThank you to Refuge - the UK's largest specialist domestic abuse organisation - for making this conversation happen.

Sermon notes

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Righteous Man's Refuge - Applications Subtitle: Righteous Man's Refuge Speaker: John Flavel Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 10/3/2025 Bible: Isaiah 26:20 Length: 39 min.

Christians ought not to drop like other men in the day of trouble. A wicked man's boldness, and a Christian's cowardliness, in times of affliction, are alike ungrounded and uncomely. Why should thy heart, Christian, despond and sink at this rate, upon the prospect of approaching troubles? Are there not safe and comfortable chambers taken up, and provided for thee against that day? Is not the name of the Lord a strong tower, into which thou mayest run and be safe?

In this rich and heartful conversation, I join two dear Buddhist monks — Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho — who are in the process of founding Clear Mountain Monastery, a new Buddhist community in the Seattle area. Their bright, warm spirit brings a lighthearted and sincere presence to our dialogue, making this exchange a true joy to share. Together, we explore many dimensions of the spiritual path — including my own journey of finding refuge during a dark time, the teachers who've inspired me, and the teachings that most deeply call to my heart. We also reflect on the practice of RAIN, the dance between directing attention and opening to what's here, and how compassion and equanimity intertwine to support us in these challenging times. Along the way, we touch into the Pali word sanook — meaning fun or lightheartedness — which beautifully captures the spirit of our time together. May this conversation nourish your own trust in the path and remind you of the goodness and joy that are always here, waiting to be discovered. In this talk, we'll look at: - how trusting our basic goodness becomes the foundation for intimacy, creativity, and awakening compassion in a suffering world. - Tara's own journey through illness and fear, and how softening around pain opens the heart to freedom and love. - the power of the RAIN meditation to transform judgment and reactivity into mindful presence and self-acceptance. - how taking a sacred pause helps us step out of the virtual trance and re-enter embodied awareness and connection - trusting Buddha-nature — the radiant goodness that shines through all beings — as the ultimate refuge in an unraveling world. Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho are part of Clear Mountain Monastery Project, an aspiring Buddhist forest monastery in the Seattle area.  Website: https://www.clearmountainmonastery.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ClearMountainMonastery

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "A Refuge in Skillful Action"

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Jeff Gray, founder and CEO of AgeTech Connect. They discuss Gray's personal journey into the AgeTech space, innovative technologies that are making a difference, the challenges of funding startups in this sector, and the importance of addressing ageism in entrepreneurship. They also highlight the upcoming AgeTech Connect Summit and the resources available for those interested in AgeTech.About JeffJeffrey Gray is the Founder & CEO of AgeTech Connect, the fastest-growing ecosystem of AgeTech innovators worldwide. By convening startups, investors, healthcare leaders, and caregivers, Jeff is positioning Atlanta as the global center for excellence and innovation in AgeTech, while also making it best place for older adults and their loved onesto call home. Originally founded as AgeTech Atlanta the organization has grown to include innovation hubs in twelve cities throughout the US and Canada. A serial entrepreneur, Jeff moved to Atlanta after selling his first tech venture to RealEstate.com and has since advised and mentored numerous startups in healthcare and technology. He has also held key leadership roles with nonprofit organizations such as City of Refuge, Points of Light, and Open Hand Atlanta—bridging technology, community health, and life sciences to create meaningful impact.Key TakeawaysAgeTech is any technology or tech-enabled service that improves the experience of aging. The AgeTech ecosystem encompasses a wide range of technologies beyond healthcare and home care, including travel and tourism, transportation, housing, retail, media and fintech.AgeTech Connect has volunteer-led virtual communities in 12 US cities throughout the US and Canada: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, New York City, Washington DC, Boston, Toronto, Nashville, and Atlanta, hosting 45 - 50 in-person networking events a year. The largest segment of AgeTech is caregiving solutions. In the United States, more employees are balancing responsibilities for elder care than for childcare—and this challenge affects people at much younger ages than many realize.A story-led motivation based on personal experiences can be an inspiration for developing an AgeTech product, but must include a thoughtful go-to-market strategy. AgeTech founders need to understand the problem they are solving.

Paul's message in Philippians emphasizes living joyfully in the middle of life, between beginnings and endings. True belonging comes from an intimate relationship with Jesus, surpassing status and accomplishments. He calls us to reject exclusionary systems, asserting that all belong. As citizens of heaven, we must actively bring love and hope to those in need. The post Philippians // Living In the Middle appeared first on Refuge.Church.

Crossroads | Pastor Jim Weaver | Refuge City ChurchSupport the show

Scripture: David's Psalms. This is the final teaching in the “David…and the Heart of God” series. We will explore David's Psalms today. In 2 Samuel 23:1 we read that David is described as the sweet psalmist of Israel.  David's psalms have influence and spoke to the hearts of people for millennia.   C.S. Lewis said, “The most valuable thing the psalms do for me is to express that small delight in God which made David dance.”  And Billy Graham said, “I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.” 75 of the 150 Psalms were written by David. Some themes in David's Psalms with a few examples: Praise - Psalm 95:1-2, Psalm 57:9-11, Psalm 103:1-3. We are encouraged to begin everything with praise, it honors God and brings refreshment to our souls. Praise takes our eyes off ourselves and putts them on God. True meaning for life is found only in God our Savior. David teaches us to praise the Lord from the heart even when we feel like we're at the bottom of the pit, because God heals and His name is to be praised. Penitence - Psalm 32:1-2 & 5, Psalm 139:23-24, Psalm 51:1-2. David's psalms help us recognize we are spiritually poor and needy and we are to be humble before God because we are all sinners. David shows us words of confession for transgression because we can be confident that through faith in Christ, God forgives. Our sins are paid for through Jesus' sacrificial death.  The Lord is merciful, He washes away our sin. Presence - Psalm 32:7, Psalm 145:18.  God is near, He is present, we cannot flee from Him. His presence gives hope and healing. He is near to all who call Him. He is unfailingly present in our lives. Prayer - Psalm 25:4-5, Psalm 141, 2-4.  Psalms are used for prayer, and are a good way to begin our day. They guide us in how to pray honestly before God and we see that through David's prayerful words we can draw near to the Lord. David's Psalms are filled with words asking the Lord for guidance, direction, strength against sin, power for the spiritual battle, and prayers seeking God and His face. Protection - Psalm:1 & 3, Psalm 18:1-2, Psalm 55:18 7 22. The Lord is our Protector and the One who defends us and we are to call upon Him.  He is the Stronghold of our lives.  God is our Rock, Shield, our Strength, our place of Refuge, our Fortress, our Deliverer. The Lord sustains us and He cares for us. Prophecy - Psalm 110:1, Psalm 22:1 & 16018 & 29-31. David spoke much prophecy about the coming Messiah. David shared prophetic words even about the day that Jesus would be on the cross a thousand years before Jesus' death. David understood prophetically the love of Jesus who would say, “It is finished.” And through prophetic understanding David saw the finished work of Christ. Pastor ends by encouraging us to read through David's Psalms this week: 2-9, 11-32, 34-41, 51-65, 68-70, 86, 95, 101, 103, 108-110, 122, 124, 131, 133, 138-145 Now What?

Interview with Julian Raven – Pt2. Julian discusses his experiences that led to, and the challenges he faced after, converting from the Jehovah Witnesses to Christianity.

One of my daughter’s most vivid childhood memories is the day her dad taught her to ride a bike without training wheels. At one point in their outing, my husband balanced his feet on the hubs of her rear wheel (while she kept hers on the pedals and they shared the handlebars) so they could coast down a small, gently sloping section together. She remembers her dad laughing with joy—a sharp contrast to her own fearful experience of the moment. The ride was so short that the entire episode happened too quickly for him to stop and empathize with her. As they reminisce about the incident today, my husband’s gentle response to her recollection is to reassure her that he knew everything would be okay. Their story is an apt metaphor for the moments when we too experience fear in life. The “hills” might look big and scary from our vantage point and the risk of being hurt can seem very real. Yet Scripture assures us that because “the Lord is with [us],” we don’t need to “be afraid” (Psalm 118:6). Though human help may fail us, He’s a trustworthy refuge when we feel overwhelmed by our struggles (vv. 8-9). God is our “helper” (v. 7), which means we can trust Him to care for us during life’s most trying and fearful moments. Despite any falls, scars, and pain we might endure, His saving presence is our “strength” and “defense” (v. 14).

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Refuge"

If there be any change in God, that change must be made either by something without himself, or by something within himself, or by both together. But it cannot be by any thing without Himself; for in Him all created dependent beings live and move, and enjoy the beings they have; and all the changes that are among them, are from the pleasure of this unchangeable Being, he changes them, but it is not possible for Him, upon whose pleasure they so entirely and absolutely depend, both as to their beings and workings, to suffer any changes Himself from, or by them.

After the shipwreck of Acts 27, Paul and 275 others wash ashore on Malta—a name that means “place of refuge.” Gene reminds us today that we all need our own Malta: a space to recover, be refreshed, and heal. But as Paul's story shows, refuge isn't always simple. At first, the islanders extend unusual kindness, offering warmth and care. Moments later, when a viper latches onto Paul's hand, the same people heap unjust criticism, assuming he must deserve it. Healing seasons often bring both kindness and misunderstanding, but Scripture reassures us that calamity is not punishment—it's part of living in a broken world.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Refuge | This is Real Love- Love is Patient

Send us a textWhat drives someone to abandon safety and return to danger? In this deeply meaningful exploration of Old Testament cities of refuge, we uncover profound spiritual parallels that speak directly to our relationship with Christ today.The cities of refuge established in ancient Israel weren't just historical oddities—they were divine object lessons. With pathways deliberately cleared and maintained, these sanctuaries offered protection for those who accidentally took a life. Similarly, the gospel message isn't meant to be complex or ornate but direct and accessible. When we overcomplicate our faith with theological jargon and endless talking, we obscure the simple pathway to salvation that Christ has provided.We wrestle with tough questions throughout this conversation: Why would someone refuse to flee to safety when their life is at stake? Why would a person reach sanctuary only to eventually abandon it? The answers reveal uncomfortable truths about our own spiritual journeys. Some minimize the severity of sin's consequences. Others don't believe they've done anything requiring forgiveness. Many simply love their former way of life too much to let it go, even when faced with deadly consequences.Perhaps most powerful is the realization that dwelling in the city of refuge created a perpetual awareness of both sin and salvation—you never forgot what brought you there, but you lived daily in gratitude for the protection provided. This beautiful picture of sanctification mirrors our experience in Christ, where we walk with both an acute consciousness of our sinfulness and overwhelming thankfulness for grace.Don't miss this rich exploration of a biblical concept that challenges us to examine where we're running—away from God or toward Him as our only true refuge.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textChrist stands as our ultimate city of refuge—a powerful truth that transforms how we understand salvation. Looking at the Old Testament concept where accidental killers could find protection in designated cities until the high priest's death, we discover a profound foreshadowing of Christ's perfect priesthood.Unlike the temporary refuge offered in ancient Israel, Christ provides permanent sanctuary through "the power of an endless life." He comes not from Aaron's priestly line but from Judah, establishing a superior priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. This mystery-shrouded biblical figure serves as a type of Christ, though Christ Himself transcends and surpasses him.The conversation explores how Christ functions as "an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast." This anchor doesn't prevent life's storms—we still feel the winds and get wet from the rains—but it holds us securely in place. Unlike physical anchors that connect downward to the seabed, our spiritual anchor connects upward to heaven. Though invisible, it maintains an unbreakable connection that guarantees our security.This leads to a passionate defense of the perseverance of the saints—the doctrine that genuine believers cannot lose their salvation. If our High Priest has an endless life and serves as our perfect refuge, any suggestion that salvation can be lost ultimately questions God's ability to fulfill His promises. As Numbers 23:19-20 declares, "God is not a man that He should lie... Has He said and shall He not do it?"Flee to Christ, your perfect refuge. Rest in His endless priesthood and allow His unchanging promises to anchor your soul through every storm. When God saves, He saves completely and eternally—not because of our grip on Him, but because of His unbreakable grip on us.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why God established cities of refuge in ancient Israel? Far more than historical curiosities, these designated safe havens reveal profound truths about Christ and our salvation that many modern Christians miss entirely.This deeply enriching conversation explores how the Old Testament cities of refuge served as powerful foreshadowing of Christ's eternal priesthood. While those fleeing to these ancient sanctuaries found temporary protection contingent on the high priest's life, believers in Christ have found an eternal refuge in One who "lives according to the power of an endless life." This beautiful typology reveals the complete security we have in Christ—our refuge is guaranteed by a Priest who can never die.The discussion confronts a troubling trend in contemporary Christianity: the widespread neglect of the Old Testament. As one participant powerfully states, "I don't believe anyone can rightly understand the New Testament without studying the Old." This neglect stems from spiritual laziness and robs believers of seeing Christ "jumping off the pages" throughout Scripture. We examine how this neglect creates vulnerability to false teachings and "false refuges" that offer illusory security without true salvation.With passionate conviction and biblical insight, we challenge listeners to embrace the rich depths of the entire Bible. The Old Testament isn't just historical background—it's essential for grasping the fullness of Christ's work and developing spiritual maturity. By studying these ancient texts, believers discover connections and truths that transform their understanding of salvation and sanctification.Ready to discover how Christ fulfills the pattern of the cities of refuge in ways you've never considered?

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why God commanded the Israelites to establish Cities of Refuge? Or what this ancient legal provision has to do with your life today? Prepare to be amazed as we uncover how these strategically placed cities reveal Christ in ways you might never have considered.The Cities of Refuge weren't just safe havens for accidental manslayers—they were divinely designed object lessons pointing directly to Jesus. We explore how the accessibility, proximity, and urgency associated with these cities perfectly mirror our salvation experience. From the carefully maintained roads leading to them (representing the clarity with which we should present the gospel) to their strategic placement ensuring no one was far from safety (showing Christ's nearness to all who seek Him), every detail reveals God's redemptive plan.Most striking is the revelation that these cities weren't randomly scattered—three cities on each side of the Jordan River, symbolizing how the Trinity is accessible to everyone regardless of which "side" they're on.

Send us a textThe distinction between faith and law-keeping takes center stage in this profound examination of Galatians 5. When the Galatian believers began adding requirements to salvation by grace—specifically circumcision as promoted by Judaizers—they perverted the gospel into something it was never meant to be. Paul's stern rebuke reminds us that salvation comes through faith alone, apart from any works of the law.A standout moment arrives when we explore Paul's declaration that "if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law"—a statement that delivers a fatal blow to anyone claiming to be both Spirit-led and a law-keeper for salvation. These approaches are mutually exclusive, creating an either/or proposition that challenges modern "Torah-keepers" just as it did the first-century Galatians.The teaching provides a comprehensive breakdown of the works of the flesh into three categories: sensual sins (like adultery and fornication), religious sins (idolatry and witchcraft), and social sins (including hatred, strife, and murder). Paul's warning that those who practice—as an unrepentant lifestyle—these works will not inherit God's kingdom serves as a sobering reminder of salvation's transformative power.Perhaps most fascinating is the revelation about five laws Jews created that God never instituted: divorce, slavery, polygamy, oaths/vows, and blood vengeance. While God regulated these practices to limit harm, they originated from human cultural development, not divine command. The cities of refuge, established to protect those who committed accidental manslaughter from blood avengers, reveal God's heart for mercy and justice. These cities, with their strategic placement and accessible roads, foreshadow Christ's salvation—available to both Jews and Gentiles, near to all who seek refuge.Ready to discover more biblical insights that challenge common assumptions?

The Wilderness E1 — This year, we are looking at themes that play a prominent role in the Exodus story. And today, we're starting a new series on the theme of the wilderness. The wilderness is a setting that shows up constantly in the Bible, and it mainly represents a hostile, barren place where humans can't survive. So why does God repeatedly lead his people through it? In this episode, Jon and Tim introduce the theme and discuss how the biblical authors portray the wilderness as a place of testing, character formation, and even an Eden-like refuge.CHAPTERSThe Breadth and Meaning of the Wilderness in the Bible (0:00-12:30)A Place Hostile for Human Life (12:30-30:35)A Place of Testing and Refuge (30:35-47:09)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESTim alludes to this past episode about the function of settings in the Bible: Setting in Biblical Narrative from our How to Read the Bible series.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.You can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.SHOW MUSIC“Pearly Gates ft.
