Episode #88: People Who Suffer Well Cultivate a Heart of Jesus-Joy

This podcast season—a series of five talks titled “People Who Suffer Well”—dives into five characteristics of people who endure difficulties with focus on the Lord. In the final episode in this series, we discuss cultivating a heart full of Jesus-Joy through my story of restored faith. And I share my study of Mary Magdalene’s Jesus-Joy moment when discovering His resurrection. I encountered a mic-drop moment when I noticed something in the translation of what Mary says to Jesus… (I’m so glad I decided to study Hebrew, y’all.) Listen in to find out what it is!

Episode 87: People Who Suffer Well Cultivate a Heart of Surrender This podcast season—a series of five talks titled “People Who Suffer Well”—dives into five characteristics of people who endure difficulties with focus on the Lord. In this episode, we discuss cultivating a heart full of surrender through the adoption story of my daughter Carol. I'm grateful that the Lord aided our surrender in this way! We also study Jesus, our perfect example of surrender, during His suffering on the cross. There is much we can learn by studying the historical context and original language of the Bible and I hope this encourages you to continue closely walking with Jesus.

Welcome to the kick-off of Season 5 for The Refuge Podcast! I’ve recently enjoyed my first weekend retreat (March 2024) as a speaker and, with the encouragement of my dear friend Angie and the movement of Holy Spirit, decided to reimagine and record the five messages from that weekend for the podcast.
