What does it mean to describe the Nakba as ongoing?In this episode, historian and author Dr Anne Irfan joins Britain Palestine Project podcast host Diana Safieh to trace the history of Palestinian displacement from the Nakba of 1948 to the present day.Anne begins with the events of 1947–49, when at least 750,000 Palestinians became refugees, and explains why the Nakba should be understood not only through the original expulsions, but through the subsequent denial of return and repeated displacement of Palestinian communities.She explores the central role Palestinian refugee camps have played in political organisation, resistance and sumud (steadfastness), from the Palestinian revolutionary movement of the late 1960s and 1970s to the First Intifada and later movements centred on the right of return.The conversation also examines the particular place of Gaza within this history. More than 200,000 Palestinian refugees arrived in Gaza following the Nakba, transforming its population and landscape and creating a refugee population whose descendants have experienced repeated displacement. Anne connects this history to the destruction and displacement witnessed in Gaza today.Dr Anne Irfan is a historian and lecturer at University College London, researching the history and politics of Palestinian displacement. She is the author of Refuge and Resistance: Palestinians and the International Refugee System (Columbia University Press, 2023) and A Short History of the Gaza Strip (Simon & Schuster, 2025).Her academic work has appeared in the Journal of Palestine Studies, Journal of Genocide Research, Journal of Refugee Studies and Jerusalem Quarterly. She has also contributed to media outlets including Al Jazeera, The Nation, +972 and Jewish Currents.

Refuge | Enigma - Sanctification - The Great Glow Up | Tim Moslander | 9.24.26

What are the actual, practical shifts in our political economy that we could do tomorrow, that would not require extra legislation and could transform our society?  This question applies to us all, wherever we are in the world and while there are many economists looking forward to an idealised system some way down the line, very few people - politicians or economists - are exploring what we could do now, today, within the guiderails of the existing system, with the politicians we have and the economy we have and the constraints of a world undergoing rapid geopolitical as well as geophysical change. Jamie Driscoll grew up in the north east of England, with a dad who drove a tank in the army and a mum who was a youth worker, trade unionist, and set up the first Women's Refuge from Domestic Violence in Middlesbrough. He left school at 16, and returned to education as a mature student, gaining a degree in Engineering at Northumbria University. He went on to run his own business as a software developer and then, when kids came along, and he was married to a GP, he  wound back his business and became the main carer for the children. He was 48 when he became a politician and he clearly brought the clear thought of an engineer, the empathy of a parent and the basic common sense of his upbringing to his various roles. He was elected Mayor of the Newcastle city region in May 2019, a position he served in until 2024, turning Newcastle into what the Guardian called “the capital of a new radical British politics”. In his five years in office he had to work around four different Prime Ministers, six different Chancellors, a global pandemic, Britain leaving the EU, energy price shocks, a cost of living crisis and the start of a ground war in Europe. He's one of a tiny handful of democratic socialists – as opposed to social democrats – who have experience running an arm of government in Britain.  He smashed his job creation target by over 300 percent; built affordable homes to high-eco standards; ran child poverty prevention programmes; delivered skills training to thousands of people to enable them to increase earnings. For every £1 I invested, his team returned over £3 to the Treasury in increased payroll taxes from job creation. He even had a successful venture capital programme that generated profits for the team to spend on other programmes, rather than them being funnelled off into tax havens by private investors. So, of course, in 2024, the Labour party changed its own internal rules to block him from standing in what was a new Mayoral area: he was too good, too effective - too socialist for them to let him continue when their entire reason for existence was to crush the left in the party. He ran as an independent in that election and came second after the official Labour candidate, polling the second highest independent vote in British political history, and built an organizational infrastructure that has become the progressive movement called Majority. In amongst all this, he is one of the sharpest, most deeply thoughtful people I've come across in electoral politics - easily up there with Mamdani, AOC and El-Sayed in the US. And he's here today because he's brought out a new paper - 'Hostage Nation' which does something quite remarkable: it takes the existing system in the UK and with only a few well-placed tweaks - almost all of which require no new legislation - it creates a new system that works for people and planet. I cannot emphasise too highly how innovative and necessary this is. It's the beginning step to a future that works for everyone - whoever you are, if you're listening to this in the UK, it would make your life measurably better within a year, significantly better in four years and utterly transformed in a decade.  If you're outside the UK, bringing the principles of this into your own nation would do the same. This is common sense politics - worked out in detail and I totally recommend that you read the website, sign up for more details and read as much of the paper as you can. Figure out what you can embrace and then tell people about it. This is how we make change.  Jamie and I were scheduled to have an hour's conversation. At the end of the first hour, it became obvious that there was at least another hour - actually, closer to two.  So we split the conversation: the episode is broadly about politics and how we might change it. The second focuses more deeply on the Hostage Nation paper.  So here we go  - please enjoy Jamie Driscoll of Majority, the Green Party and author of Hostage Nation.

Why are so many young Christians drawn to socialism, and does the Bible actually support it? In this Beyond the Notes, Pastor Russell Howard responds to research showing that a growing share of young evangelicals believe Scripture aligns with socialism. He offers a plain working definition, then walks through five truths: that capitalism creates wealth rather than merely dividing it, that the Bible assumes and affirms private ownership, that the account in Acts 4 and 5 does not teach socialism, that Scripture calls for free generosity rather than coercion, and that no government is trustworthy enough to redistribute justly in a fallen world. Howard traces the pull toward socialism back to envy and covetousness, the very things forbidden by the tenth commandment, and points instead to contentment in what God has provided. Whether you have wrestled with these questions yourself or simply want to think biblically about money, ownership, and caring for the poor, this episode gives you a framework grounded in God's Word.

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! This episode includes AI-generated content.

In this message from our Echoes of the Cross series, Pastor RJ Ciaramitaro explores the biblical Cities of Refuge and how they point us toward the safety and hope we have in Jesus. Through Hebrews 6:13–20, we're reminded that our hope in Christ is a secure anchor for our souls. We can run to Jesus when life is uncertain, but we're not meant to simply run to Him when we're in trouble and then leave when the danger passes. Jesus is our refuge—not just somewhere we run to, but Someone we remain in. The Cities of Refuge were an echo pointing us toward Christ, our ultimate refuge, hope, and anchor. Scripture: Hebrews 6:13–20 Speaker: Pastor RJ Ciaramitaro Series: Echoes of the Cross

Psalms - Songs of the King "I Have Made The Lord My Refuge" (Psalm 73) Psalm 73 opens with an honest confession: Asaph nearly lost his footing because the wicked seemed to prosper while he stayed faithful and still suffered. He watched people who ignored God grow comfortable and untroubled, and he began to wonder whether following God was worth it. Everything changed when he entered the presence of God and saw the end of the story. What looked like the good life was standing on the edge of ruin, and what he had counted as loss was the nearness of God Himself. This message walks through Asaph's slide, his turning point, and his settled peace, and it leaves you with the one thing worth holding when life does not seem fair: God is enough, and being near Him is the real treasure.

Refuge | Enigma Part 3 | Maisy Erickson | 9.16.26

What is the Body?The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self from other parts. It is within this fence he thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love. Identifying with his safety, he regards himself as what his safety is. How else could he be certain he remains within the body, keeping love outside?The body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double safety. For the Son of God's impermanence is “proof” his fences work, and do the task his mind assigns to them. For if his oneness still remained untouched, who could attack and who could be attacked? Who could be victor? Who could be his prey? Who could be victim? Who the murderer? And if he did not die, what “proof” is there that God's eternal Son can be destroyed?The body is a dream. Like other dreams it sometimes seems to picture happiness, but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose that the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for.The body is the means by which God's Son returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother, and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill.You will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth, and not in lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with love, and you are safe. Identify with love, and you are home. Identify with love, and find your Self.LESSON 261God Is My Refuge And Security.I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there will I remember Who I really am.Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Can I Be Disappointed With God and Still Trust Him?Psalm 62:8 “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.”I was talking with someone the other day, and they are really struggling. They are struggling because their child is making bad choices, and there isn't anything they can do to stop it. I asked how she was doing, and she said she trusts 100% in the Lord and that He is working in all of this, and at the same time, she is crying out to the Lord, asking why her child has to go through this. I wanted to share this with all of you because I want you to know you are not alone. I also want you to know it is ok to have two competing feelings. You can be happy about something and also concerned about how it will all work out. You can be happy you just found out you were pregnant, and also feel worried that you will have another mouth to feed. You can be sad your loved one passed away and grateful they aren't in pain anymore. When it comes to trusting the Lord, I think we have expectations that are unrealistic. We tend to think if we trust the Lord, we won't ever have to struggle again. All of our needs will be met, and life will be great. I can tell you from experience, this isn't the case. God never said we wouldn't struggle. Moses trusted God, and yet the Israelites struggled. Moses trusted God would do as He said, and yet I am sure there were times when he was sweating it out, waiting for God to answer the prayers. God will take care of our needs, and He will provide. However, it is not always in our timing, and that can cause some stress.My parents are great at trusting the Lord. If they didn't have something they needed, they asked the Lord, and He provided it. However, that doesn't mean they never worried about anything. I am one of 11 children, so as you can imagine, there was never enough money to go around. Sometimes, we had more bills than we had money. Sometimes God would answer prayers by providing extra money in some miraculous way, like when my grandparents would send unexpected money. Other times God would provide food from neighbors so we didn't have to spend money on food and could put that money towards the bills. However, sometimes God would provide by softening the heart of the person my mom called at the electric or heating company, and they would let us pay a smaller amount this month, or they would agree to wait one more month before shutting the electric or heat off. God always came through, just not always in the ways we would have chosen. You can trust the Lord and also be mad, sad, or upset with Him at the same time. You can trust that things will work out in the end, or that He will use all this bad for good, and also be upset that you had to go through the bad. My friend can trust that things will work out for her son and also be really sad that her son has to go through all of this. She can know God is looking out for Him and still be frustrated that God didn't protect Him from all of this. I think the not knowing why is the hardest part. If we could skip ahead to the end of the story and know the why of what we are going through, I bet things would be easier to endure. If we knew how God was going to use the hard things for His good, if we understood the why, it might make it easier to make it through the hard times. For instance, if I knew my son was going to get in trouble with the law, have to spend time in jail, but ultimately he would use that experience to save countless other kids from the same fate, I might find it easier to make it through the time he was in jail. My friend said something the other day, and I think it's amazing she can look at it like that when she is hurting so much. She said this is just a blip in her son's life. It is so true, and yet, when we are living through it, we feel as though it is an eternity. When our kids are teenagers, they make mistakes. Some teens really struggle; most teens struggle, I think. When they are struggling to fit in and to make it through middle school and high school, we worry about them. We tell them this time won't last forever, and yet it feels like it might. We, as parents, worry about their future and what impact these years will have on their future. We worry about them being successful, and to be honest, sometimes we worry about them being alive in the future. If your kids are making bad choices, you may worry they will harm themselves intentionally or unintentionally. We need to keep going back to God. This verse says, “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.” I think most of us are working on the trust in him at all times part of this verse. We are probably pretty good at trusting Him with a few things, and are still working on the rest of the things. I think God understands, and He is willing to wait for us. The thing I think we all don't realize is that we can't manufacture trust in God ourselves. This comes from God. If we want to trust God more, we need to ask Him to help us learn to trust more. The next line tells us to pour out our hearts before Him. I think many of us are afraid to do this. We are afraid to yell at God, or be sad or mad at God. We feel angry with Him, but we don't say it because we feel it is wrong to be upset, mad, or sad at God. He is telling us right here in this verse to pour out our hearts to Him. God already knows what is in your heart. There is no way of hiding it. However, when you pour it out to God, when you say it out loud and release all those feelings, God can start healing you. He can start to work on the pain and hurt you feel. God is strong. He can take whatever it is you want to say to Him. God longs to have a close and intimate relationship with you. Think of those you have close relationships with. Would you be as close as you are if you couldn't share your real feelings with them? If you lied to them and always told them everything was ok, going well, even when it wasn't, would they still want to be your friend? Be honest with God. Tell Him how you feel. Yell, cry, scream, whatever it is you need to do to let God into your heart. The last line says God is a refuge for us. Refuge means providing shelter from pursuit, danger, or trouble. God provides us with a shelter, a safe place where we can bring Him all we have. We don't have to be afraid of our feelings; God is available to listen to them and to help us figure them out. God is there for us through everything. He is someone we can always count on, even if others have let us down. My hope for each one of you listening is that you feel comfortable pouring your heart out to the Lord. I hope you trust Him enough to yell and scream when you feel you need to, and that you know He will still love you the same after you do. He might even love you more, if that's possible. Or, maybe not love you more, but you may feel closer to Him afterward. The more you open up to God, the closer you will feel to Him. Trust He can take whatever you have to say to Him. Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we love you, and we want to trust you; please help us. We want to know you are there for us and that you will love us just as much if we cry out when we don't understand. Help us to have faith that your plan is better than our plan. Help us to trust even when we don't know what the plan is. Help us to be honest with you about how we are feeling. We love you, Lord; you are amazing. You are the Messiah, You are the Lord, You are the Resurrection and the Life. We are so grateful for all you do for us. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus holy name. Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

The Lesson, #261, says, "God is my refuge and security." How do we connect with God, our Source? Love is a unification with ALL. Love is an Eternal Connection to Life that is All-Pervasive and in Eternity. How will we relate to that Infinite Nature? The relationship I have with the Eternal Life Force gives me my "refuge and security." Have we exchanged our pursuit of impermanent things with the certatinty we are seeking the Eternal? Can we seek our True Self, find it, and realize our heavenly state of being? This is our Refuge and Security.

We're covering a lot of ground in this episode—Joshua 19–21—but don't miss what's really happening here. After years of waiting, wandering, and fighting, God's people are finally stepping into what was promised. Tribe by tribe, family by family, the remainder of the land is being assigned. What started as a promise to Abraham generations ago is now becoming reality. But in the middle of all the details, a few things stand out: The Land Given to Simeon. Joshua's Leadership to the Very End. Cities of Refuge. The Towns Given to the Levites. And by the time we reach chapter 21, everything comes together. The land is assigned. The people are settled. The promise is fulfilled. And we're left with this powerful truth: Not one of all the Lord's good promises failed. Every single one was fulfilled. Not in part. Not almost. Every one. This episode is a reminder that God is faithful not just in the big moments—but in the details, in the waiting, and in the in-between. If He said it… He will do it. ❤❤❤ For the full episode show notes, please go to https://mfahring.com/joshua-19-21/

Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel opens "CURE America" on Jeremiah 1:5: before God formed the child, He knew him. He is joined by special guest Jordan Jackson, city director of Love Life DC, and by Torrey Snow, CURE's National Clergy Director. Jackson walks Planned Parenthood on Fourth and Florida and calls that the small piece. Abortion, he says, is a spiritual fight the church house must win, not the White House. He names the forgotten fathers: when a frightened woman goes first to the man and he answers with provision instead of "your body, your choice," more than ninety percent choose life. House of Refuge churches publish a promise of help without shame. A Canadian pastor read that statement once; two women came forward the same day, silent forty years and fifteen. In Plantation, Florida, a chapter prayed a clinic shut and bought the building. Women still walk in looking for an abortion. The door does not lock behind them. Jackson mentions his wife and children. They are not on camera. Snow traces the longer line through the late Bishop Dean Nelson and the Douglass Leadership Institute: a Jeremiah 1:5 Sunday for Black pulpits, a denominational statement that got practical, an amicus brief on the road to the Court, and Nelson in the street at the height of Black Lives Matter naming clinics in the zip codes the slogans claimed. Together the three men give the church four tasks—compassion, mercy, justice, fellowship—and the numbers underneath justice: a community that is twelve to thirteen percent of the country bearing about forty percent of the abortions; in New York City, a coin flip whether a Black child conceived is born. Marty Dannenfelser, CURE's vice president for government relations and coalitions, then takes Jackson's place. The subject is the kitchen table: inflation, credit, rent, and politicians who treat price caps as compassion. Competition lowers prices, they argue; ceilings on credit, wages, and rent shrink supply and turn a higher stub into money that buys less. Ownership is set against the rent cycle. Star Parker's column on who would make borrowing more expensive sits under the table. They close on the midterm—the SAVE Act, "Dobbs", the filibuster, court-packing, D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood, and the Women's Health Protection Act—and on a warning as old as the commandments: beware the candidate who offers something for nothing. The church can walk with the woman and the family. The government can get out of the way. It cannot do the walking.

Send us Fan MailOutside by Jennifer L. HolmRazzie is still reeling from the loss of her friend, Ollie at the Refuge when it feels like the outside world is trying to creep in. Which is ironic, since Ollie was always trying to get to the Outside world. Razzie and the other kids who are left at the Refuge have only known the world inside and have made the best of it, but with Ollie gone, things feel so different. With more and more threats appearing at the Refuge, it doesn't feel as safe as it once did. What happens if the outside does get in?Recommended for grades 6 and up. Support the show

Psalm 62:8 (NKJV)Trust in Him at all times, you people;Pour out your heart before Him;God is a refuge for us. SelahWhat does it look like to follow Jesus when life keeps changing?I've been thinking about the importance of reorienting, turning back when we drift, course-correcting when our thoughts, words, or actions don't align with Jesus, and learning to adjust as seasons of life change.Sometimes we can prepare for these course corrections. Other times, change catches us completely by surprise. I find comfort knowing that no matter what's happening emotionally, physically, spiritually, or geographically, God knows exactly where we are.He is our Refuge. Our solid Rock. He does not change.I will read to you from:Psalm 62:81 Peter 5:7Genesis 28:16Matthew 6:25–34Psalm 139:7–18If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time gift, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

Psalm 46 points us to Christ as our mighty fortress. The truth in this powerful Psalm has comforted and strengthened God's people with confidence for centuries. It has been considered the Protestant Reformer Martin Luther's battle hymn. He wrote about it, saying, “We sing this Psalm to the praise of God, because God is with us, and powerfully and miraculously preserves and defends his church and his word, against all fanatical spirits, against the gates of hell, against the implacable hatred of the devil, and against all the assaults of the world, the flesh, and sin.”

This dharma talk by Peter Doobinin was given on the first night of the April 2026 Eight-Day Retreat at Powell House.  In the talk, Peter describes the practice of taking refuge .... how we take refuge ... and why it's important to learn to do so. May all beings live with ease and in peace.

In this guided meditation, we explore the possibility of finding an inner refuge of calm—a presence that can hold whatever is moving through our lives. Beginning with the breath, we gradually soften tension through the body and settle into a relaxed, awake presence. As thoughts, emotions or physical discomfort arise, the invitation is not to resist or control our experience, but to acknowledge what is here and allow each wave to come and go. Like the depth of the ocean that remains present beneath the movement of the surface, we can discover an inner stillness spacious enough to include the changing currents of life. Each time we notice that the mind has wandered and return to the immediacy of breath, body and sound, we deepen the pathway home. This meditation offers practices for relaxation, mindfulness, emotional regulation and returning to presence in times of stress or uncertainty. We close by resting in this inner refuge and offering a prayer or blessing to ourselves and our world.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Workplaces are increasingly providing practical safety nets for women experiencing intimate partner violence. New research by Women's Refuge shows more women are disclosing that they are victims of family violence at work and receiving their employee entitlements. But it also shows there's more work to be done, with most people unaware of their workplace family violence policies. Amy Williams reports.
