Summary
Jan and Kerry discuss patterns we see in the beatitudes, and how Christ is teaching us how to progress. They find how He makes it all possible, and covenant connections. They also help us see how to make these things happen in our daily lives. They also explore how to avoid perfectionism on the path.
We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and for Alexia Muhlestein, who edited the episode, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
