Episode 10
Sure, the Beatitudes make a nice little framework for a life of faith in Jesus. Maybe I'll work on them sometimes, you know, like a church-related hobby. But we wouldn't want to go all in on them, would we? What would people think? We'd seem to be some kind of Jesus freaks if we did that. People might be mean to us. Some might even be angry! Jesus didn't really mean for his followers to take this stuff personally, did he?
Oh, let me tell you, he made this all VERY personal when he told us to put the salt of our lives into our manure!
Wait, what?
Join us today for salt, light, and the ninth blessing.
