Join Dr. Josh Olds as he goes on a one-year journey to explore the Sermon on the Mount. This session covers the eighth Beatitude: "God's favor is on the persecuted." Josh talks about how persecution is a present reality for many Christians throughout the world and how God's favor is seen through their faithfulness. He contrasts this with empowered Western Christianity's concept of persecution, which is really nothing more than an attempt to disrupt their form of empire.
