I can't listen to this without tears. It has the essence of the impact the Beatitudes must have had on listeners: the shock of being included, heard, noticed... As though beneath all the hype and spin, behind the scenes manipulation and self-important power we are surrounded by... the quietest and deepest voice in existence has responded with an embrace of the vulnerable and powerless who exist quietly underfoot.
Blessed is Nadia Bolz Weber, as every day when I listen to this, she reminds me that I am blessed 😔🙏 My mother never wanted me, and lost my husband and my child, so I know those whose tears could fill an ocean.
Nadia Bolz Weber is my new favorite UA-camr! I love her honesty and simplicity. Her talk on the Virgin Mary is outstanding as well. Keep it up. And thank you
Pastor Weber help finalize my decision to come back to the faith after almost abandoning forever. A fundamentalist charismatic pastor dumped me and my pregnant wife over a dispute saving a wealthy but highly abusive member and discarding me,his employee, to keep this person happy ,coming back and giving good money to his church. That was 15 years ago. I wandered in hatred and contempt and confusion and despair ever since. Recently another crisis has arisen that I cannot fix no matter what I try. 2 months in to it failing, something called me back to a local Lutheran church and upon internet research on Lutheranism, I found Nadia. She is the kind if minister I have been hoping was out there. I have some hope restored again. Still synical,angry and confused, but that makes pastor Nadia all the more appealing to a guy like me. I have feeling she would know what it would be like to have walked a mile in our shoes.... thanks to God for her!
You mean religious leaders who will lie and manipulate as much as they need to, to be accepted by satanic people; even to depart from the truth entirely? I thought there were plenty of those already! Have you never listened to a megachurch pastor? This is what they all do. They choose popularity over truth, so they twist the "truth" to fit the world "lie". These pastors who will do ANYTHING just to be accepted by you, will not be accepted by God, for they are wolves in sheeps clothing. This kind of "preaching" is what the Bible talks about in 2 Tim 4:3-4: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they draw to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto myths."
Jesus’s words, not mine: “John 3 ,14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” Hopefully you know the next verse... May God bless you and keep you in your ways.
@@Michael-Archonaeus Labeling people with different interpretations from yours as "liars" is just the kind of hateful thing politicians do. It's one of the reasons people leave the faith and fewer join.
That is The 1st Time Ever that I hear the words of “Blessing” that I can feel are addressed to my type of Being 🙌🏻 it moved me and messed with me to the core 🧘🏻♂️ and look I live in q catholic country (🇧🇪) and was raised in Catholic Churches 🙏🏻 only the Jesuits took my hand and assisted me in a way I could transcend my condition (now I know it’s ADHD but then we didn’t know) that was seen as a economically poor and unstructured family kid you is easily distracted, talks a lot but in some way is very intelligent as the psycho tests have shown - these guys saved me based on my IQ test results ❤️ I just needed to complete that save with an emotional saving and there you come with your Blessings 🙌🏻❤️🥰
This is exactly what Jesus meant, when he said that you can't mix the unleavened bread with leavened bread, without making one big loaf of leavened bread. This is the truth mixed with a few little lies here and there. It sounds true enough to those who live in darkness, but it leads to hell!
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:6-9
hopefully shocked! In our world we think that only the rich, famous, and "lucky" are blessed. Jesus was telling the world that we get that part wrong! God wants to spend a little "extra" with those who are in more need than others. Just like a parent would spend a little more attention on a child who is sick. God is with you.
It leaves everyone being reminded that we’re blessed and loved. Suffering doesn’t discriminate and whether we’re overly wealthy or severely impoverished, we all suffer. Jesus reminds us that we are all worthy of love, no conditions or strings attached.

So very well stated.
"Blessed are the closeted"
That's one line I didn't expect to hear. Consider me pleasantly surprised! 🏳️🌈
Nadia is a huge supporter of the LGBT Community. She understands that "The Church may reject God's Children, but God never does." (Thats her quote.)
Blessed are those who work in fast food and customer service. Jesus blesses you.
"Because Jesus Christ chose to surround himself with people like them"
I'm healed 😁❤️🇿🇦💯🙌🏾

Thank you for reminding us that grace is on tap for all.
This is exactly what I needed to hear today
I needed those words today. Tears in my eyes but strength to go on.
Beautiful.
We need to hear this right now more than ever
We need more religious leaders like her.

Do realize that all religions are myths?

Blessed are you. You have found your way into a heart of someone as far east as North America goes. I love listening to you.
Oh my goodness yes! You are so deep and insightful. I'm so grateful for you. Rose
Beautiful, beyond comprehension.

Every time I watch this I hear something more about what this is.
Thank you

Blessed are you and your ministry❤
A friend brought these videos up to me. Thanks for posting them, I needed to hear these today. :)
Thank You! I really needed that.
I Love You Too
Nice words lil peace.
Amen ❤️♾
Wow ... so needed in this messed up world ....
Messed up doctrine for messed up people? Sounds charming.
Tell me, how is that going to get anyone saved?
@@Michael-Archonaeus I dunno. Tell me, how is it that y'all have been around for five hundred years and are still shit at it?
Amen ♡

Who would wish to follow a religion whose members see differences of scripture interpretation as "lies"?
We are all sinners...and saints all the time.
Amen 🙏
Blessed are the agnostics?
Come to the true faith and church which Christ founded, holy Orthodoxy ☦️
Is there a text version of this blessing?
Empty sentiment, warm fuzzies. Blessed? How are they blessed? With what are they blessed? What does being blessed even mean in this context?
enlightened from the Hebrew B-R-K. May they know that they are enlightened in seeing what is true in this world. What do we see?
Can i be happy instead of being blessed?

A lovely sentiment, but where does that leave everyone? 🙁

Rosanna Cartwright Nice reply.

A bit too much politics in this one. But Blessed is everyone should suffice.
Blessed are the faithful Lutherans who fled her heretical sect.
Amen!
"Blessed are the agnostics..." I doubt it is from the bible.
I think it's a misinterpretation of "Blessed are the poor in spirit."
@@nothanks4469 Thomas was agnostic. He didn't believe either. That was the whole point.
Platitudes and lies like every other sermon.
Is this a joke?
