Episode 021 - Matthew 5:7-12 - Developing Leaders

In Episode 21, Those Crazy Bible Study Guys see an awesome example of how Jesus is not only our Saviour but a great model for leadership!   He doesn't want His disciples to be just followers or be His "posse" but He shows how He is the ultimate leader by developing His inner circle into future leaders as well!   They unwrap the remaining beatitudes that show the contrast between the world view and heavenly view of what it means to be truly blessed!   And then Those Crazy Bible Study Guys get a mic drop as they wrap up today's episode learning that experiencing hope and joy, no matter what the situation in our life, is how we authentically encounter God's blessings!      NOTES: Books referenced in this episode: "Jesus, CEO" by Laurie Beth Jones "Jesus Freaks:  Stories of Those Who Stood for Jesus, the Ultimate Jesus Freaks" by dc Talk "Jesus Freaks:  Martyrs: Stories of Those Who Stood for Jesus:  The Ultimate Jesus Freaks" by dc Talk LIKING OUR PODCAST?   WE'D SO APPRECIATE A REVIEW on your favorite podcast station or at  - www.ThoseCrazyBibleStudyGuys.com  HELP US GET OUR CRAZY ON!  WE THANK YOU!
