Crosses in life are inevitable — in marriage, family life, ministry, and even our spiritual growth. How we carry them changes how heavy they are. Diving into Archbishop Fulton Sheen's Cries of Jesus from the Cross, we share what's been going on behind the scenes, including what we've been learning (and struggling with) along the way.

Also:
🔹 Jennifer finishes her first-ever knitting project
🔹 A BIG SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT!
🔹 How Fulton Sheen is shaping Greg’s prayer life
🔹 Why embracing suffering as a couple brings us closer to Jesus

We don’t have everything figured out, but we’re walking through it with you. We’re glad you’re here.

We’ve heard the Beatitudes countless times at Mass or when reading the Bible, but how much do we actually understand them?

In this episode, we wrap up our two-part discussion on Matthew 5 and what the Beatitudes really mean—and honestly, some of these hit harder than we expected.

🔹 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” Are we actually yearning for the right things?

🔹 “Blessed are the merciful…” But what about mercy for ourselves?

🔹 “Blessed are the peacemakers…” Does this mean avoiding conflict, or something more?

If the Beatitudes have ever felt confusing, intimidating, or just out of reach, this episode is for you. When we started looking at them through a different lens, everything changed.

📖 Are the Beatitudes just a list of rules, or do they reveal something deeper? Many Catholics and Christians misunderstand these powerful words of Jesus in Matthew 5—especially what it means to be “poor in spirit,” to mourn, and to be meek.

📢 Unlock the hidden meaning of the Beatitudes—and how they can transform your faith today:

✅ “What ‘poor in spirit’ REALLY means in Matthew 5 (Hint: It’s NOT about being broke!)”
✅ “Why ‘Blessed are those who mourn’ is more than just grief—and how it strengthens your faith”
✅ “True meekness is a hidden superpower (Here’s why it’s NOT weakness)”
