What kind of king lays down his life instead of flexing his power?

We all want mercy when we mess up. But what about when we’re asked to give it?This episode digs into the tension between receiving mercy and extending it, why it’s so easy to withhold, and what it takes to become someone who genuinely loves mercy.

Righteousness isn’t about following rules -- it’s about relationship. In this episode, we break down what it really means to live in right standing with God, not by earning it, but by receiving it.From the Beatitudes to the story of the prodigal son, this conversation explores how righteousness is a gift rooted in God’s love—not our performance—and why the good life Jesus offers starts with surrender, not striving.

The world says, “Prove yourself.” Jesus says, “Empty yourself.” This episode explores the kind of humility that doesn’t shrink back—but stands firm with quiet strength and open hands.

It’s a deep dive into the Beatitudes, the tension between power and surrender, and why real confidence begins where self-reliance ends. Humility isn’t weakness—it’s the starting place for everything that matters.

We’re told happiness comes from success, status, or self-fulfillment—but what if that’s not just wrong, it’s totally backwards? In this episode, the conversation turns to Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes, where the truly “blessed” are the poor in spirit, the grieving, and the meek.This isn’t self-help—it’s a radical redefinition of the good life. Together, we unpack how real joy doesn’t come from avoiding pain or chasing comfort, but from surrender, dependence, and the quiet strength of being known by God.

If you’ve ever given up on someone (or yourself) this conversation might bring a fresh perspective.
