Sermon Replay: 6.29.25 - Pastor Tara Beth Leach

What if the path to true blessing isn’t found in self-sufficiency but in our deepest dependence? In her powerful message, Tara invites us to re-examine our understanding of blessing as we delve into the Beatitudes during Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Contrary to a world that equates blessings with material success or independence, Jesus flips this notion upside down, presenting a radical vision of those who are truly blessed—like the poor in spirit and those who mourn.

The Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.

We’d love to meet you! Email us, check out our website, and come worship with us!

We are moving forward in faith. Join us.

Today’s message was originally delivered on Sunday June 29th in our Worship Center and you can watch it here.
