"Becoming a child is living the Beatitudes and so finding the narrow gate into the Kingdom" - Henri Nouwen

If you're in the game to recapture the Gospels and look at Jesus in a new light, then this is the show for you. For too long has the institutional church hijacked the message of Christ. It's far time we reestablish the "kingdom of Heaven."

So how do we do this? It's quite simple.

Let us return to the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.

It's a way to ground our faith and understand the ethics and aims of the Kingdom of God. Jesus does not hide things; he speaks plainly.

We should listen plainly as well.

The words of Jesus are as audacious 2,000 years ago as they are today. He speaks of a revolution of power, where the weak matter and the strong don't.

It's an upside-down version of the world we live in today.

Maybe we should do some work to reimagine reality through the eyes and values of the beatitudes. Even comedian, Groucho Marx got it when he said, "Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light."

Let us be people that embrace these timeless truths to let in more light to these dim shadows that have become the modern-day church.

The light needs to shine through. It just seems that American Christianity is in the way and that's a huge problem.

Join us today as we do a deep dive into the beatitudes of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount. We'll look to how they should change us if we're willing to embrace the wild ways of Jesus.

Change is at hand. Do you want to grab it? Show notes
