“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3 (ESV)

This week, we’re joined by Dave Rider to explore one of Jesus’ most iconic teachings—The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1–12 ESV). These words turn our ideas of success and strength upside down, calling us to live with humility, mercy, and faith in the face of hardship.

It’s a conversation about what true blessing looks like—and how the kingdom of God grows through weakness, not dominance.

“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?” — Luke 15:4 (ESV)

In this episode, we explore The Parable of the Lost Sheep, where Jesus reveals the pursuing, joyful, and personal love of God for sinners.

We talk about what this means for us today—how we see the lost, how we respond to grace, and how heaven rejoices over even one who comes home.

A farmer goes out to sow—and the seeds fall on all kinds of soil.

In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ parable of The Sower (Matthew 13:1–23), exploring what it means for us today. Why do some people hear the gospel and thrive while others fade away? What kind of soil best describes your heart right now?

It’s a familiar story with a hard question at its core—are we truly hearing and responding to the Word?
