In the second part of the Mere Fidelity discussion of the Beatitudes, Matt, Alastair, and Derek tackle the first bombshell that Jesus drops: Blessed are the poor in spirit.

How do we reconcile that with our Christian faith and trust in God? Listen. Full show notes at www.mereorthodoxy.com/categories/mere-fidelity.
