Black, White, and the Red Letters

Bankrupt, Broken, and Blessed

This week on Black, White, and the Red Letters, Jay and Ed step into the opening rounds of Jesus’ upside-down kingdom manifesto—Matthew 5:1–5. We unpack the first three Beatitudes and why they’re not soft, sentimental sayings but spiritual gut-checks: poor in spirit, those who mourn, and the meek. Jesus starts His sermon by blessing the people who know they’re bankrupt without God, who feel the weight of a broken world, and who lay down the need to dominate. It’s a call to drop the mask, quit pretending you’re fine, and let the King rebuild you from the inside out.
