Refuge in Christ: A Safe Space for Men Facing Domestic Abuse

Welcome to Refuge in Christ, a place for men in Scotland and beyond to find hope and healing from domestic abuse, including emotional and psychological harm like putdowns or control.

As a Bible teacher who’s survived abuse and alienation, I know the pain of feeling silenced. Psalm 82:3-4 calls us to defend the afflicted, and here, we stand with you.

Through faith in Christ (Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength”), practical support, and community, you’re not alone. Seeking help is strength, not weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Explore stories, resources, and encouragement to find freedom in God’s truth (Romans 6:6-7).

A Move of God in a Hostile Land

While watching The Hot Zone with Chuck Holton on YouTube, I was deeply moved by his prayer following the broadcast about the attacks in residential areas of Tel Aviv. It inspired me to share my thoughts on this important issue.

As an eager 11-year-old in Scotland back in 1984, I felt a nudge from God to pray for Ethiopia’s famine and the rescue of its people in Israel. Having just started my faith journey at the age of seven, I was captivated by Blue Peter’s appeal, which showed trucks trapped in Ethiopia’s mud and shared the story of Operation Moses airlifting Ethiopian Jews.

Read more: A Wee Lad’s Prayers for Israel and Ethiopia - How Faith Moved History

Last night I was watching away on Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram, my eyes glued to the screen in the wee hours, feeling the weight of what’s happening in Israel. Their Operation Rising Lion ~ Am KeLavi, meaning “Nation Like a Lion” from Numbers 23:24 ~ has walloped Iran’s nuclear sites and IRGC bigwigs. It’s got me thinking of Psalm 83, with nations ganging up on God’s people. As folks with a heart for the Lord and Israel, let’s dive into this story, see what’s what, and pray hard, deeply.

As Christians, we face a daily battle against sin. Paul Washer recently shared a powerful truth on an Instagram reel: skipping time in the Bible is like missing breakfast; it leaves us spiritually weak and hungry. I noticed many believers struggle with sin because they don’t read or study their Bibles.

Greetings, dear friends in Christ,

I’m Peter, writing to you from the rolling hills of Scotland near Loch Lomond, where I serve with bornagainchristians.org, grounded in the steadfast truth of our Calvary Chapel heritage, watching Chuck Smith.  I’m so chuffed to share an opportunity to witness the life-transforming power of the Gospel at the Harvest Crusade 2025, set for Saturday, July 19, at 7:00 PM Pacific Time (that’s 3:00 AM BST on July 20 for us Scots).

In the UK and Glasgow’s streets over the last couple of years, I have heard chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” When I ask protesters about which river or sea they mean, many appear clueless, revealing ignorance behind this divisive slogan.

Dear Friend,

Are you hiding a struggle that’s breaking your heart? Maybe it’s alcohol, drugs, or sexual sin. You might think you’re fooling family, friends, or even God, but He sees you, and He loves you too much to let you stay in bondage.

As a Christian, I’ve walked a road that many of you may relate to. Years ago, I found myself “living in sin”, cohabiting with a partner outside of marriage, a phrase we in Scotland know well. I justified it, leaning on liberal Bible teachers who softened God’s Word to fit my choices. I understand the struggles and the guilt that come with this situation, and I want to share my journey with you.
