In this episode of Becoming More Like Jesus, we continue our journey through the Beatitudes by reflecting on Jesus’ words: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4).

We explore what it truly means to mourn in the way Jesus describes—not only grieving loss, pain, and suffering, but also mourning over sin and the ways our lives fall short of the Kingdom of Heaven. From personal grief to honest repentance, Jesus meets us in our sorrow with His presence, His people, and His hope.

Drawing from Scripture, including Romans 5 and Romans 8, we talk about how suffering, when surrendered to God, can be transformed into perseverance, character, and ultimately hope. Mourning in Christ is not despair—it is lamenting with hope, trusting that God is at work even when life is painful.

This episode invites you to reflect on your own places of mourning, recognize Jesus as your comforter, and practice a simple breath prayer throughout the week as you hold your grief before Him.

Whether you are grieving loss, wrestling with repentance, or simply weary from life, this episode reminds us that we are not alone—and that Jesus promises comfort now and eternal hope in the renewal of Heaven and Earth.

Wherever you find yourself today, Jesus welcomes you to participate in His restoring work and live into the blessing of His Kingdom here and now.

In this episode of Becoming More Like Jesus, we begin a journey through the Sermon on the Mount by rediscovering a posture many of us have lost: curiosity. Reflecting on Matthew 5:1–2, we explore how curiosity draws people closer to Jesus—from the Galilean hillside to encounters like the Woman at the Well and Zacchaeus. As we open this new series, you’re invited to slow down, lean in, and let a curious heart draw you nearer to the heart of Jesus.
