The Refuge Podcast with Jennifer Elwood Jennifer Elwood

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 the Word through Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (NIV).

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. This 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 first episode, we will discuss the importance of cultivating a life saturated in prayer through the story of Hannah from 1 Samuel.
