Hey friends, greeting from the Dan Jerusalem Hotel in Jerusalem.

Looking forward to spending some time with you on today's podcast.

We're talking about the beatitudes, the blessings that God promises, that Jesus guarantees for his followers that adopt the attitudes that he expects.

Don't miss it. Tune in today. Welcome to Everyday Truth

with Kurt Skeli. We believe the Bible is true and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day.

If today's conversation is a help to you, take a moment to leave a review or share it with a friend. Thanks for

which is just over the ridge of the Mount of Olives and down the hill.

And so we are enjoying our time, been here all day long, just wandering around the streets of old Jerusalem,

looking at the Western Wall, going through the Jewish quarter,

just enjoying, not even really our first day of touring, just kind of a get over jet lag and

get acquainted day with a group of pastors. So pray for us if you would. But I didn't want to

forget about you and our podcast. So we are in Matthew chapter five.

It is about nine o'clock at night here.

So that's two o'clock in the afternoon,

Eastern Standard Time.

So by the time you're listening to this,
