In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach reflects on the way we respond to tragedy in a culture that often filters every story through politics. He explores what it means to grieve genuinely, mourn deeply, and let our hearts be broken by the loss of life. Along the way, he challenges listeners to pause, reflect, and seek transformation in how we engage with the world and each other.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

We continue our episodes on the "beatitudes" (Jesus's sermon on the mount from Matthew 5) with this topic: blessed are those who mourn. What does this mean? What are we mourning? Join Joy and Bob this week to find out!
In this episode, we continue our journey through the Beatitudes, exploring how Jesus reshapes common sense and redefines what the “good life” looks like in the light of God's kingdom. Mourning doesn't sound like blessing, and comfort doesn't look like quick relief—but Jesus invites us into the mystery that God is not absent from grief, lament, or loss. Instead, these places become unexpected meeting grounds with the living God, where the Comforter draws near in presence and power. This sermon reflects on everyday grief, deep loss, and honest lament, and asks what it might mean to recognize kingdom life unfolding not in triumph or improvement, but in the tears we dare to bring to God. Recorded February 1, 2026.
"MOURN", es una joven banda catalana con una historia sorprendente; cuando algunas de ellas eran todavía menores, giraron por varios países y publicaron discos con uno de los sellos más importantes de Brooklyn. Todas esas experiencias, más allá de ser sorprendentes, forjaron una amistad y una complicidad muy fuertes entre las componentes del grupo. Y eso se nota en sus directos y en sus discos. Ahora nos presentan lo que es ya su sexto trabajo grande, "Letra Ligada". Todas las canciones de este nuevo disco están cantadas en castellano y hablan de imaginación, fantasía y también de historias cotidianas. En la producción han contado con el noruego Kenneth Ishak, que ha hecho un trabajo excelente, con un resultado luminoso y cargado de detalles sutiles. Hablamos de esta nueva entrega y de la trayectoria de "MOURN", con Carla Pérez Vas, cantante y guitarrista de la banda.""Francesc Miralles" es escritor, conferenciante por todo el mundo y habitual colaborador de los medios de comunicación. Entre otros libros, es coautor del ensayo "Ikigai", traducido a 70 idiomas y líder de ventas durante meses en muchos países. Ahora viene a nuestro programa con una novela en la que se plantean las grandes cuestiones de la vida, gracias a un diálogo telefónico entre Dios y el protagonista del relato. Este libro inspirador y cargado de humor, nos hace reflexionar sobre la naturaleza y el sentido de nuestras vidas y, sin duda, puede resultar revelador para muchas personas que lo lean. Hablamos con Francesc de todas estas cuestiones y de cómo se gestó el libro."Escuchar audio

Continuing on after Jesus started doing his thing around Galilee. The crowds gathered around Jesus. These people were hurting - they were the "least of these," as Jesus says in other places. He looks at this crowd and says they are blessed. We'll talk about what that word "blessed" means - and meant in their context. Calling that crowd - full of THOSE people - it didn't make sense for them to be called blessed. This whole thing doesn't feel right - seems backwards. Blessed are the poor in spirit. If you've got nothing left in the tank, here's the good news. God is with you. God is on your side. You've got nothing left of your own resources - nothing to keep God from pouring the Spirit into your life. Blessed are those who mourn. Again - sounds backward. Why? Because we now feel what God feels. We are now living in solidarity with the Divine. Blessed are the meek. Yeah, super backward. The meek get trampled on in our world. Well, maybe - maybe not. That word "meek" doesn't mean "weak" as we've come to understand it. It means "power restrained." We're familiar with a very relevant current example of this. When the non-violent protest kind of power restrained is met with violence, the ugliness of violence is seen for what it really us. Evil. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Jesus calls "blessed" those who look at what's wrong in the world and put their back into making it right again. Jesus calls "blessed" those in this world who work for justice for all people.

This episode is a deep dive into a simple claim: This is the year the mask slipped. The United States has decided that the grand bargain it presided over since 1945 is finished, and the consequences are immediate for markets, alliances, and Europe's security. We begin in Japan, where a sharp move in long-term government bond yields is forcing a rethink of the global carry trade, and shaking risk assets worldwide. Then we go to Davos, where Mark Carney frames the moment as a “rupture, not a transition,” arguing that integration has become a weapon: tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities. We unpack the post-war deal: America as global policeman, underwriting security in Europe and East Asia, and what America got in return. Then we examine the new reality: tariffs on allies, closeness to rivals, and a Europe that may no longer accept subordination, with Greenland/“the Battle of Nuuk” emerging as the flashpoint that could make the break irreversible. Part one ends with the biggest question of all: if the unipolar world is over, what replaces it? Part two next week looks at Ireland, a country with a profound vested interest in the status quo, now facing its end. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Do you mourn over your sin? Pastor Lance shows how Scripture is clear that God requires repentance: a godly sorrow over sin, and a change of will to turn from sin and to God. For more messages and resources, visit us at www.ccc-online.org.
Blessed Are — Part 1: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn Description: In Part 1 of Blessed Are, Pastor Eric opens the Beatitudes by slowing down on one of Jesus' most counterintuitive promises: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). This message clarifies that mourning isn't only about grief after loss—though Jesus absolutely meets us there. It is also, and most importantly, about mourning over sin: seeing our fallenness clearly, becoming broken before God, and running to the only Savior who can forgive, cleanse, and comfort. From James 4, John 6, John 10, Psalm 42, and Lamentations, Eric shows that the path to comfort is not denial, self-justification, or religious performance. Comfort comes through surrender—submitting to God, resisting the devil, drawing near to the Lord, and letting repentance become honest sorrow rather than shallow regret. Eric also addresses why sin is tempting “for a season,” why it always damages the soul, and why God's heart toward the repentant is not condemnation but restoration. The message then widens to the other “layers” of mourning: death, broken relationships, dashed dreams, wounds no one sees, and the long ache of grief that can feel like waves and billows rolling over the soul. In those places, believers are called to expect Jesus in their grief—to lament, to hope, to wait quietly, and to receive God's lovingkindness that holds steady in the dark. Finally, Eric calls the church to live as Christ's body: God comforts by His Spirit, and He comforts through His people. We are meant to carry comfort to one another—praying, showing up, and becoming tangible reminders that mourners are not alone. Key Scriptures (NKJV): Matthew 5:4; James 4:7–10; Hebrews 11:24–27; John 6:35–40; Matthew 11:28–30; John 10:27–30; Psalm 42:1–7; Lamentations 3:22–26; 2 Corinthians 1:3–4; Romans 10:13. Highlights: “Blessed are those who mourn” has layers, but it begins with mourning over sin. Repentance isn't humiliation—it's the doorway to comfort, cleansing, and freedom. Sin is pleasurable “for a season,” but it always wounds the soul and harms others. God does not discipline to demean; He draws sinners in to restore them. Jesus' comfort is not an empty offer—He keeps His promises: “I will by no means cast out.” Salvation is receiving a gift, not earning a reward—religion says “perform,” Christ says “receive.” Assurance for believers: Jesus holds His sheep, and no one can pluck them from His hand. Grief is real and biblical: Psalm 42 gives language for sorrow, tears, questions, and hope. Lament is not unbelief—it is faith speaking honestly in pain. God's mercies are new every morning; the call is to get up again and hope in Him. The church is called to comfort one another with the comfort we've received from God. Next Steps: Ask God to show you which kind of mourning you need right now—and respond with one concrete act of faith. If you're mourning over sin: confess it plainly, turn from it, and come to Jesus for cleansing. If you're mourning loss: lament honestly, bring your questions to God, and ask Him to meet you in the waves. If you're stuck in cycles: thank God you got up again, then take one next step toward freedom. If someone near you is mourning: obey the nudge—pray, reach out, and offer comfort in Jesus' name.

Send us a text In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down and sit with one of the tenderest lines Jesus ever spoke: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). We explore what “mourning” really means in the Beatitudes—personal grief, the ache of a broken world, and sorrow that awakens the heart instead of hardening it. This isn't a call to pretend pain is good or to rush past sorrow with clichés. It's Jesus' promise that tears don't disqualify you—they become a meeting place with God's presence, strength, and hope. Together, we'll learn how to mourn as disciples through biblical lament, honest naming of loss, and trusting that the Kingdom is coming even in the valley.

On Discipleship Sundays, we gather as one church family—ages 1 to 103—to learn together and disciple one another, and this month we'll learn together through Jesus' first teaching, the sermon on the mount. Jesus is establishing his kingdom and it must have seemed so counter-cultural. Is his kingdom still counter for disciples today? What does it mean to mourn? How are we comforted? Our morning will be interactive and engaging: we'll explore together, reflect together, and ask honest questions that […] The post Mourn appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

Remembering The Fast Of Tevet Part 1: Why Do We Mourn On This Day? - English only. The 10th of Tevet is a day traditionally observed with mourning and fasting, This day commemorates the destruction of both Solomon's Temple and the Second Temple.

This year is Jill Forbes' second Christmas since the sudden and unexpected passing of her husband, and in this conversation, she invites listeners into what this season looks like for her now.Jill shares her story with hosts Lynne Stroy and Joey Svendsen, opening up about what she's learned so far, how she's navigating the slow work of healing, and the tension of holding both joy and sorrow at the same time. She talks about the curriculum she's developing to help people better prepare for grief and loss, and she reflects on the ways friends and community have shown support — and the ways people sometimes unintentionally miss the mark. Jill also names the parts of deep grief that really can't be understood unless you've lived through it.At the top of the episode, the hosts take a moment to talk through the old “Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays” culture wars, process the brokenness and beauty of our world, and hear Luke share what Christmas looks like for Christians in India.It's a tender, honest, and hopeful conversation — one that sits right in the middle of both ache and celebration, much like the season itself.On this episode: Jill ForbesHosts: Lynne Stroy, Joey Svendsen, Luke Gaikwad, Roy Jacques "What Child is This," by Seacoast Music.
