// Join our morning Wake-Up Call! • The Wake-Up Call is a daily encouragement to shake off the slumber of our busy lives and turn our eyes toward Jesus. Each morning our community gathers around a Scripture, a reflection, a prayer, and a few short questions, inviting us to reorient our lives around the love of Jesus who transforms our hearts, homes, churches, and cities. • https://seedbed.com/wakeupcall • Who are the poor in spirit? What does it mean to be poor in spirit, and is this a state of being to which people should aspire? In this Seven Minute Seminary, Tara Beth Leach explores the possibilities of what Jesus means in Matthew 5:3 and offers a compelling reason why the poor in Spirit are the ones whom God considers blessed. She explains why an affluent society which trades in abundance will struggle to appreciate the kingdom of God, and how to prepare our hearts to enter into God's blessings. • // ABOUT TARA BETH LEACH • Tara Beth Leach is a pastor, preacher of the Word, and a writer.
