What does persecution really mean for followers of Christ today? In this timely episode, Pastor Josh and Raymond Gharabeygi sat down to talk about what Jesus means when He says "blessed are the persecuted" in Matthew 5. Originally from Iran, Raymond shares a powerful perspective that will challenge you to expand your understanding beyond physical suffering to include the spiritual battles we face within our own church communities. His insight also serves as a helpful tool to sift through the noise of the media and consider the greater story at hand.

In this episode, Fawn Ellerbrook is joined by Tabitha Caplinger & Chris Rowton to explore Matthew 5:9, diving deep into what it truly means to be peacemakers in a world filled with division and conflict. The Hebrew word 'shalom' reveals that biblical peace isn't simply the absence of conflict—it's about wholeness, oneness, and restoration even in the midst of turmoil. We discover that peacemaking requires intentional effort, starting with cultivating peace in our own relationship with God before we can offer it to others. This episode challenges us to examine our motives: are we speaking to be right, or are we speaking for the sake of heaven?
