The gospel is meant to be "earthy." It's not about how to "survive" earth until finally making it to heaven. Jesus taught the "Kingdom of Heaven" was about life starting here on earth.

Teaching kids how to love God includes the practical, "earthy" things like honoring the places they inhabit and use. It's about seeing their purposes as being greater than self-interest and making a living.

Place and purpose have a deep connection that goes back to the Garden of Eden -- before sin ever happened.

Learn why teaching things like "Clean your room" isn't just about making your life easier. In the smallest of ways our requirements can build our children's character and enable them to be able to fulfill the First Great Commandment!

If Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, gave a free virtual workshop on how to run a successful company, people would listen!

If Sydney McClaughlin-Levrone, the 400 meter hurdles World and Olympic record-holder offered free coaching, you can bet hurdle-wanna-be's would stand in line to gain her insights.

So when Jesus says, "This is what leads to a fulfilled life," it's worth our attention!

Today we dive into the 4th Beatitude. We see how a hunger and thirst for God's approval is the first part of seeking His righteousness (right-standing). We discover how showing up in the world and doing good flows from that righteousness. We also see how our spiritual appetite is cultivated just like our physical hungers and thirsts.

We also see how "being fulfilled" isn't a promise of a future objective but a promise for the here and now in the nitty-gritty of life.

Everyone ends up with more names than the one given at birth. Many of these prove to be stressful if not downright destructive. They can come from parents, caregivers, siblings, adults, or other children. They can be mean and cruel, designed to hurt, or they can result from ignorance about their power -- even if they're "positive" names.

See the power of names from the very first one given and how it can impact you to raise kids receptive to God's love.
