When Mountains Shake: Finding Refuge in God's Strength – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast

Episode Description:
Recorded in London, England, this timely sermon from Reverend Ben Cooper answers one of the most pressing questions believers are asking today: Where do we find refuge when the world seems to be falling apart?

Drawing from Psalm 46, Reverend Ben delivers a stirring reminder that in a world where political systems collapse, cultural values shift, and fear spreads like wildfire, there is one unchanging truth—God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. This is not just a comforting phrase, but a foundational promise that has held God’s people steady for generations.

With conviction, Reverend Ben challenges the false security of “microwave faith” and the prosperity gospel, which promise instant blessings without deep discipleship. Instead, he calls us back to biblical truth and God’s sovereignty. Using Saul’s Damascus Road conversion as a vivid example, he reveals that salvation is not earned or orchestrated by human effort—it is an act of divine grace. “He didn’t take an Alpha course, he wasn’t baptised, he wasn’t invited to church,” Ben reflects. “He was a cutthroat… and God saved him.”

This message paints a striking portrait of Jesus—the King without a palace who rules the world—reminding us that our identity in Christ frees us from fear and anchors us in a greater kingdom. For those who feel like “oddballs” in today’s culture, Ben offers encouragement: your difference is evidence of heavenly citizenship.

Reverend Ben weaves together biblical prophecy, real-world events, and timeless truth, showing that the shaking of the world is not a reason to despair, but an opportunity to trust God more deeply. Whether you are wrestling with anxiety, questioning your identity, or seeking to strengthen your faith, this devotional will help you stand firm when all else feels like shifting sand.

Biblical Foundation:

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea." – Psalm 46:1–2 (NIV)
