About this Episode

Most of us already know what the good life looks like in our culture… success, comfort, confidence, control. We don’t have to be taught what to chase; we’re already running.

In the opening lines of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus disrupts all of it. He blesses weakness, grief, humility, mercy, purity, peacemaking, and faithfulness under pressure… qualities we usually avoid, ignore, or see as setbacks.

This series slows us down long enough to notice the gap between what we chase and what Jesus calls blessed. Not to pressure people. Not to shame people. But to help people see clearly.

Each week, we’ll unpack one of Jesus’ statements and let it confront our assumptions about the good life… one attitude at a time.
