In this episode of the Blue Halo Podcast, we explore the beatitude “Blessed are the Merciful.” What does mercy look like in everyday life, and why does Jesus place such value on it? Join us as we unpack the depth behind this teaching, share real-world examples of mercy in action, and reflect on how choosing compassion can transform our hearts, our relationships, and our communities.

In this fifth of nine Mini Halo episodes discussing the Beatitudes, we dive deep into one of the most powerful and inspiring Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” What does it really mean to crave righteousness the way we crave food and water? We’ll explore how this verse challenges us to pursue God’s justice, truth, and goodness—not as a casual interest, but as a daily necessity for the soul.

Hurry Up and Regret It! Just ask the hare who lost to the tortoise.

We all know the truth behind the saying "haste makes waste." This timeless lesson, as relevant today as it was in Aesop’s fable, reminds us that rushing often leads to mistakes, setbacks, and regrets. Even the Bible warns against haste numerous times. In this episode, we explore both modern and biblical examples of haste, and Jeff shares some wild, real-life police stories that prove why slowing down matters. So take a deep breath, ease off the gas, and join us as we uncover how patience and wisdom can help us win life’s race!

In this episode, Jeff poses many questions: Does "Turn the Other Cheek" mean we are to remain passive in the face of danger? Does "An eye for an eye" mean the whole world will go blind like Gandhi suggested? If you give a person the shirt off your back, do you really have to give him your coat, too? We'll answer these question and learn much more, including the details of a true crime story and why police officers can't retaliate when verbally abused (Are they doormats?)
