Episode Details

There is no refuge outside of Jesus Christ. In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Joshua 20, where God establishes cities of refuge—places that uphold both justice and mercy.

These cities point forward to Christ, our Great High Priest, whose death fully satisfied God’s righteous judgment. Those who run to Him find forgiveness, freedom, and peace. But those who run from conviction remain exposed before a holy God.

Dr. Youssef warns listeners not to delay, excuse sin, or ignore the call to repentance. Christ alone is the refuge for sinners, and His mercy is available to all who come to Him in faith.

This episode calls believers to:

• Run to Jesus Christ as the only true refuge,
• Repent instead of resisting conviction,
• Trust God’s justice and mercy,
• Rest in Christ’s finished work,
• Become “runners” who point others to the Savior.

A lost and condemned world needs refuge. The Church must point them to Jesus—before it is too late.
