Today, we have an episode from our friends at Booming. The recent flooding in Washington is a reminder of the extreme weather impacts of climate change. But the Northwest has become a destination for people seeking a more livable climate. Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict. But some researchers say a historic population shift has already begun. On today's episode: is the Pacific Northwest ready for an influx of climate refugees?

Meditation given at Our Lady of Refuge on December 9, during adoration.
A Letter Written from Prison, Not Comfort Paul's words in Philippians 4 were not written from a comfortable place. He was imprisoned, isolated, and waiting for a trial that could possibly end his life. There was no certainty and no guarantee of freedom. Yet Paul writes with joy, telling the Philippian church that he has […] The post Philippians // And With Enough appeared first on Refuge.Church.

Direction l'Argentine, qui s'est convertie ces dernières années en refuge pour la communauté LGBTQ+ russe. Ces dernières années, Vladimir Poutine a mené une répression de plus en plus sévère contre les droits de cette communauté, et elle s'est accélérée depuis l'invasion de l'Ukraine. En 2023, la Russie a placé le « mouvement international LGBT » sur sa liste des personnes déclarées « terroristes et extrémistes ». À l'autre bout du monde, l'Argentine offre à des milliers de Russes un lieu où ils peuvent être eux-mêmes sans craindre d'être jugés, agressés, ou emprisonnés. À Buenos Aires, le reportage de notre correspondant. Iana Kostinskaia se souvient très bien de sa surprise la première fois qu'elle a vu un couple homosexuel s'embrasser dans la rue à Buenos Aires. Deux ans après avoir quitté Moscou pour l'Argentine avec sa compagne Eli, la jeune femme de 29 ans continue d'apprendre à vivre son amour au grand jour. « J'aime beaucoup sortir avec ma femme, la prendre par la main et l'embrasser, et que cela ne soit pas un problème. Parfois j'ai un peu peur, puis je me rappelle que maintenant, tout va bien. Je ne vois pas comment je pourrais avoir la même vie en Russie », raconte Iana. Ces dernières années, Vladimir Poutine a accentué sa persécution contre les minorités sexuelles. En 2023, la Cour suprême russe a classé le mouvement LGBT comme « organisation extrémiste », au même titre que l'État islamique. Mariano Ruiz est le directeur de l'ONG Droits humain & diversité, qui accompagne des centaines de réfugiés LGBT russes en Argentine chaque année. « Ces vingt dernières années, l'Argentine a été un pays pionnier dans la région. C'est deuxième pays des Amériques à avoir légalisé le mariage homosexuel en 2010 après le Canada », précise-t-il. À lire aussiLGBT+ en Russie: «J'ai le sentiment de vivre perpétuellement avec une guillotine au-dessus de la tête» En Argentine, le statut de réfugié est par ailleurs plus facile à obtenir qu'en Europe ou aux États-Unis. Et le pays sud-américain a aussi d'autres atouts à faire valoir. « Moi, je suis venu ici pour étudier, explique Vladimir Zikeev, arrivé de Moscou il y a 18 mois. Lunettes rectangulaires, visage juvénile, cet étudiant en langues explique que c'est l'université publique et gratuite argentine qui l'a convaincu de jeter son dévolu sur ce pays. « J'ai trouvé quelque chose à faire pour ne pas seulement être en fuite. Chercher ma place, mais en faisant quelque chose », poursuit-il. Vitalii Panferov est arrivé à Buenos Aires début 2023. Quelques mois plus tard, il a été diagnostiqué séropositif. « Je n'avais aucune assurance. Mais jusqu'à présent je reçois mon traitement gratuitement, car en Argentine il y a un système de santé publique », L'accès des étrangers à l'université et au système de santé publique est aujourd'hui remis en cause par Javier Milei, qui a aussi durci les conditions pour obtenir le statut de réfugié. Le président argentin s'est par ailleurs lancé dans une bataille culturelle contre le « wokisme », qui n'est pas sans rappeler la rhétorique de Vladimir Poutine sur la décadence morale de l'Occident. « J'espère que ce qui s'est passé en Russie ne va pas se reproduire ici », s'inquiète Vitalii. Début 2025, Vitalii s'est joint aux centaines de milliers d'Argentins qui sont descendus dans les rues pour protester contre une saillie homophobe de Javier Milei. « Ce que j'aime le plus en Argentine, c'est que je peux être moi-même et m'exprimer.

Paul is joined by Bill Kirst, host of the Coffee and Change podcast and author of the new book Leading Change in the Era of AI.The conversation explores the psychological and societal implications of rushing toward artificial intelligence. Kirst argues that while technology companies strive to maximize addiction and profit, individuals must pause to ask if they are losing their identity in the "race" for efficiency. From the potential for a "reverse renaissance" led by younger generations to the importance of "messy" human connection over AI simulation, this episode is a call to preserve the unique divinity of the human spirit.Key Topics Discussed:• The "Master's Degree" in Understanding: Kirst shares a story about his 84-year-old father, who went from feeling inept about AI to feeling empowered and informed after reading the book.• The Addiction Algorithm: A look at how tech companies hire psychologists to tweak algorithms for dependency, repeating the mistakes of the social media era.• The Race to Irrelevance: Slater and Kirst discuss the fear driving governments, corporations, and individuals to adopt AI, asking: "Will we remember ourselves and who we are at the end of said race?".• The Mirror Metaphor: Kirst reveals that the backward binary code on his book cover is designed to be read in a mirror, symbolizing the need for self-reflection before engaging with technology.• Empty Calories vs. Nourishment: An analogy comparing AI interaction to "empty calories" that leave the spirit lethargic, versus the "nourishment" found in messy, authentic human relationships.• The "Reverse Renaissance": Hopeful signs that Gen Alpha and high school students are asking for permission to disconnect and say "no" to constant AI integration.• The Refuge of Human Spaces: The prediction that society will eventually place a premium on "human-only" spaces—like phone-free restaurants—to escape the perfection of the digital world.Resources Mentioned in this Episode:• Book: Leading Change in the Era of AI by Bill Kirst.• Podcast: Coffee and Change hosted by Bill Kirst.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:37 Reactions to the Book02:06 Common Reactions and Personal Stories04:02 AI's Role and Ethical Concerns08:26 The Race for AI Supremacy15:04 Generative AI and Its Impacts21:35 Youth Perspectives and Hesitations26:43 Exploring Human-AI Relationships27:49 The Emotional Impact of AI Companions29:07 The Chemical Reactions in Human-AI Interactions31:50 The Dangers of Over-Reliance on AI35:41 Human Connection vs. AI Interaction43:03 The Future of Human Interaction in a Digital World49:21 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsHumanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

Refuge | The Gift That Keeps Giving | Shania | 12.3.25
In 2023, we introduced you to a transgender girl named Leah. She was living in Texas with her parents, John and Mary. We concealed their identities because families like theirs faced growing threats. Since then, lawmakers have taken steps to further restrict the rights of transgender people. William Brangham recently caught up with Leah and her family as they wrestled with their next steps.

Proverbs 18:9–12 contrasts careless living with steadfast trust in the Lord. The slothful person—slow in duty and effort—is counted as a brother to the destroyer, for negligence tears down what diligence builds. Yet the name of the Lord stands as a strong tower where the righteous find refuge and safety. Meanwhile, the rich man trusts in his wealth as a high wall, though it is only imagination. Pride lifts a man toward destruction, but humility prepares the heart for honor. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore how diligence preserves, how God protects, and how humility positions a person for true exaltation under the Lord's care.

He reflects on the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha as refuges that steady us in the midst of strong opinions, old patterns, and the familiar dynamics that arise when we gather with others.This talk was given on November 30th 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Pacific Northwest has been booming for decades, and home builders have struggled to keep up. That’s led to a housing shortage, homelessness crisis, and transportation headaches. But we may see an even bigger population boom here as climate change makes more places unlivable. Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict. But some researchers say a historic population shift has already begun. On today's episode: is the Pacific Northwest ready for an influx of climate refugees?

Story Transcript:No: Det var en kald vinterdag i de norske fjellene.En: It was a cold winter day in the Norwegian mountains.No: Snøen la seg som et teppe over trærne, og himmelen var stille og grå.En: The snow lay like a blanket over the trees, and the sky was silent and gray.No: I denne fredfulle stillheten lå en koselig hytte.En: In this peaceful stillness lay a cozy cabin.No: Hytta stod som et ly for de som søkte ro og refleksjon i den hektiske juleferien.En: The cabin stood as a refuge for those seeking peace and reflection during the hectic Christmas holiday.No: Inne i hytta hadde Sverre

visste ikke hvordan å nærme seg det.En: Sverre noticed this but didn't know how to approach it.No: Han kjente på samme dragning mot å trekke seg tilbake inn i seg selv.En: He felt the same pull toward withdrawing into himself.No: Været snudde plutselig.En: The weather suddenly changed.No: En blizzard kom uventet, og snøen pakket hytten inn som en mørk kappe.En: A blizzard came unexpectedly, and the snow wrapped the cabin like a dark cloak.No: De var fanget.En: They were trapped.No: I tillegg gikk strømmen.En: In addition, the power went out.No: Stearinlysene ble tent, og hytta ble fylt av en varm, gyldenhvit glød.En: Candles were lit, and the cabin was filled with a warm, golden-white glow.No: I denne intime atmosfæren begynte stemningen å bli trykkende.En: In this intimate atmosphere, the mood began to feel oppressive.No: Astrid satte seg bestemt foran Sverre.En: Astrid sat resolutely in front of Sverre.No: «Vi må snakke.En: "We need to talk."No: » Hun så ham i øynene med en intensitet som ikke lot seg ignorere.En: She looked him in the eyes with an intensity that couldn't be ignored.No: Lars satt stille ved siden av, men så medfølende på Sverre.En: Lars sat quietly

deep breath.No: «Jeg vet hvordan det er å føle at man står alene.En: "I know what it's like to feel like you're standing alone.No: Det er lettere når man deler smerten.En: It's easier when you share the pain."No: » Med disse ordene begynte Sverre endelig å åpne seg.En: With these words, Sverre finally began to open up.No: Han delte om oppturene og nedturene det siste året hadde brakt.En: He shared about the ups and downs the past year had brought.No: Om frustrasjonene og sorgen han har båret på.En: About the frustrations and the sorrow he had been carrying.No: Da samtalen stilnet, følte Sverre seg lettere.En: When the conversation quieted, Sverre felt lighter.No: Han så på sine to venner.En: He looked at his two friends.No: De satt der, i varmen fra peisen, og han så verdien i den støtten de gav.En: They sat there, in the warmth of the fireplace, and he saw the value in the support they gave.No: Han innså at selv om tiden alene er viktig, er det i fellesskap med andre at man virkelig finner styrke.En: He realized that although time alone is important, it is in the company of others that one truly finds strength.No: Julen ble en tid for både refleksjon og gjenforening.En:

Episode 2827: Ilse Sand offers a compassionate guide for highly sensitive people navigating anger, both their own and others'. By embracing calm withdrawal, delayed response, and deep empathy, HSPs can defuse conflict without compromising their well-being, while still asserting their needs and boundaries. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/ilse-sand-anger-highly-sensitive-people/ Quotes to ponder: "To calmly say 'no' or 'I don't want to do this' or 'this is not okay with me' often works much better than loudly expressed anger." "Use your ability to empathize to find out what your secret unmet need is." "Anger is a powerful energy. When people blow a fuse, they tend to become very black and white in their thinking and lose their ability to empathize with others."

Episode 1895: Alyssa Boyer shares how being a highly sensitive person once felt like a weakness in the cutthroat world of corporate culture, but ultimately became her greatest strength. By embracing empathy instead of suppressing it, she reveals how emotional sensitivity fosters better leadership, trust, and connection in the workplace. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/empathy-rare-and-valuable-strength-in-the-workforce/ Quotes to ponder: "People want to work with people who care." "Empathetic people make great teammates and leaders because we're able to anticipate the needs of others." "Actually caring about the people you're working with and striving to do what's good for the team, instead of thinking, 'What's in it for me?' is a rare and precious trait."

Today I'm talking with my friends Shon and Jess Thornburg from Love Life about something very close to my heart: abortion, the church, and what it looks like to actually live out our pro-life convictions. You'll hear how God took a simple “yes” and used it to turn their church into a true House of Refuge—where babies are being saved, moms and dads are being loved, post-abortive men and women are finding healing, and ordinary believers are learning how to show up at the darkest places with the light of Christ. If you've ever wondered, “What can my church do?” or “Where do we even start?”, this episode will encourage you to get off the bench and into the battle for life.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad Presence in Syria and Iranian Ties — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, Akmed Sharawari — Sharawari documents that Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) maintains operational presence in Syria, conducting activities from refugee camps adjacent to Damascus, maintaining historical organizational relationships with the Assadregime structure. Roggio emphasizes that PIJ functions as a crucial Iranian proxy organization, receiving weapons, financial resources, and operational guidance from Tehran's security apparatus. Batchelor notes that although PIJ was a major participant in the October 7th attacks on Israel, Shara's current government is reluctant to provide full institutional sponsorship due to significant associated political and security risks from Israeli retaliation. 1920 DAMASCUS

Qasem Waleed is a 28-year-old physicist who has lived in Gaza his whole life. In 2024, he joined a chorus of Palestinians sharing videos and pictures and writing about the chaos and violence they were living through, as Israel's military bombardment devastated their lives. But Qasem was trying to describe his reality through the lens of the most notoriously confusing and inscrutable field of science ever, quantum mechanics. We talked to him, from a cafe near the Al-Mawasi section of Gaza, to find out why. And over the course of several conversations, he told us how this reality-breaking corner of science has helped him survive. And how such unspeakable violence actually let him understand, in a visceral way, quantum mechanics' most counter-intuitive ideas.
