The Sermon on the Mount offers us practical insights into how we can live alive within the Kingdom of Heaven today. In this two-part conversation, we'll explore the ways we can approach Jesus's sermon, so that the Holy Spirit can work with us as we grow in our spiritual journey. The Sermon on the Mount is meant to be read as one message from Jesus that builds on itself section by section to show what progress looks like over our lifetime walking with Jesus. In Part 1 we will set the context with our identity and opportunity as followers of Jesus and then begin to explore the goodness of a Kingdom heart.

Challenge: Listen to Streetlights read the entire Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)

We all experience pain. Even Christ experienced pain. None of us are exempt. But we don’t need to get stuck in our pain. Christ endured the cross for the joy set before him. We can see the joy in the midst of the pain. We don’t have to move from death to death. We can move from death to life as our pain produces joy and leads us to wholeness. Enjoy this conversation between me and my good friend, Rebeca Villatoro.

One out of every 7 people in the world is an international or internal migrant who moves by choice or by force. Migration is a world-transforming force that shapes us. The story of God's family has always been a story of migration. We all long for home and we all are vagabonds searching for home. Jesus's message - "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" - is an invitation to experience a spiritual home today as we are on our journey towards our eternal home.

In Romans 8:10 Paul writes these words: "But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness."  How do we walk forward with Christ when our bodies are still dead because of sin? The Bible is clear: all have sinned. But sometimes we make our relationships with God about sin management, not about spiritual transformation. We either swing towards one view that says: "Be perfect, so that you can be with Jesus." Or we swing toward another view that says: "Come as you are, Jesus loves you, you don't need to change." So, which is it? Can we find an equilibrium and a better way to walk forward? Let's walk together and find out.

We live in a cultural moment that's all about "living my best life." This often translates to living a "perfect life." But perfection is a myth. Together, we confront the ideologies of perfectionism inside of us and begin to live purposeful lives one step at a time. Join me in this conversation with my good friend, Paula Suárez, as we talk about the myth of perfectionism and practical tips to equip you to live a purposeful life.

Vulnerability is an essential part of our spiritual journey. In this Vignette (brief thoughts on a big ideas), we'll learn from Selena Gomez's song "Vulnerable" and talk about the power of vulnerability and the care we need to take when being vulnerable.

We all get stuck at points along the way in our journeys. Instead of trying to force ourselves through feeling stuck, let's get unstuck in ways that help us walk towards wholeness and purpose. Our bodies and souls speak to us. Will we listen?

We are all being formed by someone or something. Podcasters, YouTubers, Peers, Teachers, Family. Formation isn't bad, but we need to ask ourselves the question: Who or what is forming me? 

The title that Jesus is referred to most is "Rabbi". He wants to form you. The journey of walking with Jesus is so much about the journey of walking home to my fullest self. Will you walk with him?

Living alive is about living in wholeness for purpose. One of the most important questions we all ask ourselves is what is my purpose? It's less complicated than you may think.
