As he continues through the Beatitudes, Jim defines what it means to be “poor in spirit” - and the things we need to guard against.


“Poor In Spirit” is often a misunderstood phrase. Jim warns us against allowing our ego to fill up the room without our noticing.


Humility is a rare thing. Our instincts are to create our own divinity and push God out of our lives.


True humility is lifting others up. Each and every day.


Matthew 5:3
