Truth, Knowledge, and the Pursuit of Christ
Manage episode 480253060 series 2868412
This episode wraps up our Virtues Series with a bit of a hodgepodge. Randy and I dive into truth, knowledge, wisdom, and two often misunderstood Beatitudes: poor in spirit and those who mourn. We talk Roman philosophy, Greek word origins, and why it’s okay to start small when growing in your faith.
If you’ve ever wrestled with what it means to truly know God — or why mourning and brokenness can actually be blessings — this one’s for you.
Thanks for sticking with us through this whole series. Let us know what you'd love to hear us tackle next!
