In the final episode of the Blue Halo Podcast Beatitudes mini-series, we reflect on the 8th Beatitude: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This episode explores what it truly means to remain faithful when following Christ comes at a cost.

Together, we look at how this Beatitude ties all the others together, reminding us that living with mercy, purity, humility, and peace will not always be easy. Yet, Jesus promises deep and lasting blessing to those who choose faithfulness over comfort. This closing conversation invites listeners to find hope, courage, and purpose in standing firm for what is right, and to see how the Beatitudes form not just a list of ideals, but a way of life rooted in the Kingdom of God.

In this episode of the Blue Halo Podcast, we reflect on the 7th Beatitude: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” What does it truly mean to be a peacemaker in a world filled with division, noise, and conflict? Is peace simply the absence of disagreement, or is it something deeper, something active and courageous?

Together, we explore how peacemaking begins within the heart and flows outward into our relationships, communities, and everyday encounters. This episode invites listeners to consider how choosing understanding over winning, forgiveness over resentment, and love over fear allows us to reflect the very heart of God. Join us as we discover how living as peacemakers is not only a calling, but a powerful witness to hope in the world.

In this episode, we turn our attention to the sixth Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” What does it really mean to be “pure in heart” in a world filled with noise, distraction, and divided loyalties? Is purity about perfection, or is it something deeper and more attainable?

Together, we explore purity of heart as wholeness, integrity, and a single-hearted pursuit of God. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the condition of their inner life, our intentions, motivations, and the quiet places no one else sees. As we unpack this Beatitude, we discover how clarity of heart leads to clarity of vision, allowing us to recognize God’s presence not only in prayer, but in everyday moments, relationships, and challenges.
