So Blessed: EP2, Redefining Blessing

Send us a Message

Jesus uses one word over and over in the Gospel of Matthew 5: blessed. Not blessed as in lucky, comfortable, or admired for all the “right” reasons—but blessed as in a deep joy anchored in God’s salvation and favor, even when life hurts. We’re back in the So Blessed series, walking through the opening of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, letting Him challenge our cultural definitions of what it means to live a truly blessed life.

We focus on the first three Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–5) and the people Jesus says the kingdom of heaven belongs to: the poor in spirit, those who mourn, and the meek. We talk about spiritual dependence and why being “poor in spirit” creates space for God to fill and reshape us. We also name the hard question many of us carry in grief: if I’m hurting, does that mean God is far? Jesus flips that fear with a promise of comfort that strengthens the soul. And we reframe meekness—not as weakness, but as strength under control. 

Along the way, we share how to extend the conversation through the So Blessed study and conversation cards. If you want encouragement that’s practical, honest about suffering, and full of hope, press play—then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more women and girls can find it.
