Mourning, Meekness, and Mercy: Part 2 with Matt Chandler

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on mourning, meekness, and mercy as explored in the Beatitudes of Matthew 5 with guest Matt Chandler.

The second half of the Perrys’ conversation with Matt Chandler is a deeper discussion of the Beatitudes of Matthew 5. For example, the Bible says, “Blessed are those who mourn,” but what are we to mourn, and how do we mourn well? Matt explains that we mourn our own sin, and we grieve the broken world around us. Comfort is found in the hard work of mourning, and the consequence of not mourning is distance from Jesus. Beyond mourning, Matt and the Perrys also explore meekness, a thirst for righteousness, mercy, peacemaking, and persecution.
