Have you ever felt like you have lost sight of Jesus in your life? How do you rediscover him? We learn from Luke 2:41-52 that Jesus' parents LITERALLY lost him when he was a young boy. AJ and Nijay use this story to process how to seek and find Jesus today, just like Mary and Joseph did then.  Support the show

AJ and Nijay close out the Beatitudes series with vv. 5:10-13: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

In this episode, Nijay and A.J. address a great listener question: if God is for the poor, why did God mandate that the temple be decorated with so much gold and high-value materials? Listen in. (Related texts: Exodus 25-28; 35-40; 1 Kings 6-7; 2 Chron 2-4). Support the show
