I Don't Want to be Poor! Or do I?

The “Beatitudes” can read more like inspiring but irrelevant wall art than life-altering wisdom. Jesus’s statement that people who were “poor in spirit” were blessed can sound like a cute nursery rhyme instead of the key to a life of true empowerment.

Discover why recognizing our poverty – our inability to provide for our own needs – unlocks the door to the power necessary for transformation.

Learn why we want to avoid both covert and overt arrogance. The first that says, “I’ll do it myself” and the second that admits to being “poor in spirit” but then chooses to wallow in that truth rather than being changed by it.

Empower yourself and your family to engage fully in God’s grand story. Subscribe to Hi(Impact) at Stephanie Presents for insights, encouragement, and practical resources!
