Wisdom Unlocked: The Ways of GodS9 Ep 8 Peacemaking and PersecutionBeing known as a peacemaker is a profound honor in heaven, signifying a threat to evil and earning the proud recognition of God as His son or daughter. We are not supposed to be the cause of conflict. Peacemaking requires a meek, merciful, and pure heart that prioritizes God's glory and the well-being of His people over selfish concerns or earthly prestige. Jesus concludes the Beatitudes by moving from peacemaking to persecution; from reconciling relationships to experiencing rejection and hostility. Blessed are the persecuted for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

We know God sees into our hearts because it reflects the “real me” and the “real you.”When available, episode notes are at Lionshare.org/podcast.

We don’t want to suffer the consequences when we have wronged someone. But when the shoe is on the other foot, we realize that it is far more satisfying to default to revenge and displays of strength. Jesus calls us to be merciful though.

Happiness? Time? Comfort? Healthy relationships? Financial security? Peace? Jesus tells us that we are blessed if we hunger and thirst for righteousness. It’s that piece of us that is bothered by injustice, desires strong character and conduct and longs to be in a right relationship with God. When we pursue those things, we will move from feeling empty to being satisfied.When available, episode notes are at Lionshare.org/podcast.

In our world, the meek person is not valued. But Jesus says the meek will inherit the earth. We must have the wrong idea of what it means to be meek. Theologian RT Kendall says, "It is the opposite of self-righteousness, arrogance, haughtiness, smugness and defensiveness." That sounds like something we all need, so how does it look to be meek?When available, episode notes are at Lionshare.org/podcast.

It’s the closest account we have from Jesus on what He wants His disciples to be and do. The whole sermon contrasts how followers of Jesus live, act and think in comparison to the world around them.

We talked with believers in government, law and security; business; arts, entertainment & media, health, medicine & wholeness, and we're ending our series talking about the need to disciple people who work in ministry. That may sound strange because it seems like they should be the ones who have discipleship down! But many who work in the church and other para-church organizations will tell you it doesn't always happen there either. There's a difference between teaching discipleship and practicing it. 2024-05-2136 minWisdom Unlocked: The Ways of GodS8 Ep 5 Discipling Believers in Health, Medicine & WholenessThe need to improve our physical and mental health, and the idea of wholeness — these are top of mind for so many people today. Loneliness and anxiety are epidemics, we aren't taking care of our bodies, and people are turning to quick fixes. So it's important to have believers serving and teaching in these fields because they have access to people during times of vulnerability and pain that only God can heal.

Why should you care? Because it's an embodiment of what intentional discipleship can look like. Lionshare intentionally gathered older leaders who were interested in discipling younger leaders. They spent a year training and then came to the Leadership Games to meet young leaders who had been invited to take part and expressed a desire to have someone disciple them. They were split up by vocational field - those working in health and mental health professions; business; arts & entertainment; government, law & security; and the church...2024-03-0539 minWisdom Unlocked: The Ways of GodS7 Ep 6 Relinquishing Your RightsWe Americans love our rights. We talk about them, we demand them. It’s woven into the fabric of who we are. But as Christians, we need to be aware that relinquishing our personal rights is essential to living in obedience to Jesus. As we approach the end of 2023 and start thinking about 2024, ask yourself – what are the things you are holding onto that hinder you. Do you make deals with God?

They met those young leaders at the Leadership Games in groups divided up by vocational field. Now, they are meeting for the next year to take them through Lionshare's primary discipleship tool called "A Discipleship Journey" and learning how to apply Scriptural principles in their personal and professional lives.
