Join Stu G and co-host Brian miller in conversation about the first Beatitude; "Blessed are the poor in Spirit." 

What is a "poverty of spirit?" Did Jesus simply mean the extremely poor? What do we do when, as Eugene Peterson says, "we reach the end of our rope?" Jesus begins The Sermon On The Mount by flipping the script on what blessing or success looks like to us, and we discover that "the blessing" is God's presence with us.
