  <itunes:subtitle>This contemplative devotional episode focuses on Matthew 5:3–4 in the New Living Translation (NLT). Jesus’ first Beatitudes flip our expectations by calling the spiritually poor and those who mourn “blessed,” with promises of the Kingdom and comfort.
Guest Host Malena Schultz invites listeners to stop pretending strength, bring their real need and sorrow to Jesus, and trust His nearness there. A short midday pause practice helps anchor you in His presence.</itunes:subtitle>
