In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we delve into Joshua 20, where six cities of refuge were established to provide asylum for those who caused accidental harm. These cities embody profound principles: justice balanced with mercy, accessibility for all, community responsibility, and the importance of understanding intent. Drawing from these ancient practices, we explore how their wisdom can inspire modern systems—whether in building fair legal frameworks, fostering inclusive communities, or navigating interpersonal conflicts with empathy and nuance. Discover how these biblical insights remain relevant for creating a just and compassionate world today.
