Eric Johnson Matthew 5:9 This week's message on the seventh Beatitude unpacks what it actually looks like to make peace: with God first, then within ourselves, and then with the people around us.

In this week's sermon we begin a new sermon series call "Peacemakers." To start, we look at why peace is so difficult and often feels impossible to achieve. We look at how we treat and respond to one another and the affect that that has on us as people and as a society as a whole. Let us seek God and as a result seek to make and have peace. We're glad that you made it to this sermon! We're also available on Youtube. For more information on our worship services or church a a whole, visit fbcwest.com

All of us are searching for happiness in one form or another. some of us seek wealth or pleasures of this age and some seek fulfillment in family or work. However, the way of Jesus flows in the opposite direction. In Matthew 5, Jesus gives his "Sermon on the Mount" and lays out the way of the Kingdom of God. The first section of his sermon is often known as "the beatitudes" and lists those who are "blessed" (or "happy"). Can we find true happiness and fulfillment following the ways of this world and its age, or should we seek the counter-cultural way of Jesus?

X-Men '97 is back... and somehow Season 2 might already be even better than the incredible first season! After one of the greatest superhero TV seasons ever made, Marvel Studios had enormous expectations to meet. Through the first four episodes of X-Men '97 Season 2, we think they're off to an outstanding start. In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down Episodes 1-4 of X-Men '97 Season 2, discussing the incredible action, shocking story developments, Apocalypse's rise, Cable's emotional journey, Magneto's biggest moments, and what we think is coming in the rest of the season. COLD OPEN (First 30 Minutes) Before discussing X-Men '97, we cover some of the biggest stories in superhero movies and pop culture: • Is The Flash really as bad as Madame Web? • Rumored characters appearing in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow (Justice Gang, John Stewart, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and Martian Manhunter & more!) • The Batman Part II delayed once again until February 2028 • Could James Gunn leave DC Studios after Paramount's reported acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery? • Why Clayface could become the sleeper hit of the DC Universe • Can The Odyssey or Spider-Man: Brand New Day become the next billion-dollar blockbuster? FULL SPOILER DISCUSSION After the news, we jump into a full spoiler breakdown of X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 1-4. We discuss: • The X-Men being divided across the past and future • En Sabah Nur's transformation into Apocalypse • Apocalypse vs. Magneto • The shocking ending to their battle • Nathan Summers (Cable) and his relationship with Scott Summers and Jean Grey • Apocalypse's Horsemen • X-Factor and X-Force in 1997 • Favorite characters and standout performances • The incredible animation • Fast-paced storytelling • Comic book inspirations and Easter eggs • Our predictions for the rest of Season 2 Marvel Studios continues to prove why X-Men '97 has become one of the best superhero animated series ever made. The emotional storytelling, stunning animation, incredible action sequences, and faithful adaptation of classic X-Men comics have us completely hooked. From Apocalypse's terrifying rise to Magneto's unforgettable moments, Cable's emotional family story, and the introduction of X-Factor and X-Force, these first four episodes are packed with everything we love about the X-Men. If the rest of the season maintains this level of quality, X-Men '97 Season 2 could surpass an already phenomenal first season. Whether you're a lifelong X-Men fan, a Marvel Comics reader, or someone discovering these characters for the first time, this review is packed with deep comic book discussions, theories, Easter eggs, and predictions for what's coming next.

Why does Jesus say "blessed are the peacemakers" and who are they? How do I help my atheist friend see there is a God? If Gentiles were never invited to the Old Testament law, why does Paul tell Gentile churches they "died to the law"?

Hello, movie maniacs! This week Mary and David watched Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl. Gillespie has directed a couple of films that Mary and David love – I, Tonya and the Fright Night remake – so they were really looking forward to this film. They talked about the gross hate campaign directed at yet another female-led superhero movie; admired the backstory that explains so much of Kara’s behaviour; got irretrievably stuck on James Gunn’s Peacemaker series; and overall enjoyed the movie quite a bit despite a few reservations. Not sure what to make of this latest iteration of Supergirl? Well, let Mary and David fansplain it for you!

Brad Lea joins the Try That in a Small Town podcast and absolutely unloads.

Many of us are in the habit of resisting things we can't change, and it creates a lot of unhappiness and havoc in our lives. Byron Katie wrote a book entitled, 'Loving What is', and it presents the concept that when we stop resisting reality, we will find so much more peace in our lives. When we learn to focus on our response and choose to behave in ways that are in alignment with our values, we find much more satisfaction, contentment, happiness, and peace. Learning to love what is, rather than resisting and fighting against it, creates a solid space for growth.

The Wyoming Realtors PAC has issued their 2026 endorsements.  It's a who's who of Democrats masquerading as Republicans. The average score of adhering to the Republican Party Platform from their honorees is 15% and they only vote with the Republican majority 17.2%--sure sounds like a bunch of conservatives to me. It looks like Ogden Driskill's "Become a Peacemaker" pledge didn't take. Not only is he making it up as he goes along on social media, he's letting his pal Tyler Lindholm and Americans for Prosperity do most of his dirty work for him in the Senate District 1 race.  I spoke with Speaker Chip Neiman about it.

What does it really mean to be blessed? In a world that equates blessing with success, comfort, and status, Jesus offers a radically different vision. In this series, Blessed, we'll discover the surprising path to a life of deep joy, and purpose. Jesus redefines what it means to live under God's favor. This is an invitation to embrace a kingdom perspective—one that turns our assumptions upside down and forms us into people who reflect the heart of Jesus.

This sermon explores the seventh Beatitude - "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" - emphasizing that biblical peacemaking is fundamentally different from worldly concepts of peace. True peacemakers actively pursue reconciliation between God and humanity, and between warring parties, often at great personal cost. The message clarifies that peacemaking is not about appeasement, compromise, or tolerance of evil, but rather about courageously entering conflict zones to reconcile people to God's truth and to one another. Jesus is presented as the ultimate peacemaker whose reconciling work cost Him His life. The sermon challenges believers to understand that while they find peace with God through Christ, this same peace positions them for tribulation in the world. True peacemakers risk relationships, reputation, and comfort to pursue godly reconciliation without compromising Scripture, conscience, or God's holiness.

On this episode of the Try That in a Small Town Podcast, the guys start with listener Q&A and end up deep in the realities of life as working Nashville pros. They break down why most artists use session bands instead of their road bands in the studio, what makes a truly great studio player, and how songs like “Try That in a Small Town,” “All-American Girl,” and other hits actually came together. You'll hear stories about mentoring young musicians in Nashville, navigating confidence and doubt in the early Aldean days, and how a raw, slightly “on the edge” sound helped define a new lane in country. The crew also vents about crosswalk etiquette, insane roundabouts on Demonbreun, messy public bathrooms, and a wild “dipshit of the week” segment that includes a pharmacist trading meds for sex and Neil's unapologetically spicy take on women joining Augusta National. Along the way, they celebrate “Try That in a Small Town” going platinum, shout out John Edwards finally getting some long-overdue recognition, and brag on Neil's wife and her company for co-designing the new “Welcome to Tennessee” signs across the state.

So what does it mean to be a son of God? It means everything. It's our identity, our purpose, and our hope. That is the promise for the peacemaker. Matthew 5:9 Chris Chalman | Executive Pastor

ANOTHER DIVISIVE COMIC BOOK MOVIE IS UPON US... Supergirl Spoiler Review with Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau (DC Studios) as we dive into Milly Alcock's debut as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl, the film's connection to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Kara's trauma after Krypton, her bond with Ruthye Marye Knoll, Krypto's role in the story, Jason Momoa's Lobo, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, and that shocking ending where Kara makes a very different choice from the comic. We're talking about what worked, what didn't, whether the movie nailed the grief and revenge themes, how Supergirl compares to Superman, and whether this gives Kara a strong future in James Gunn's new DCU. Plus, we look at what Supergirl could mean for the future of DC Studios, including Man of Tomorrow, Lanterns, Clayface, The Batman Part II, Peacemaker, and where the DCU may be heading next. Did Milly Alcock prove she's the perfect Supergirl? Was Lobo used well? Did the ending go too far? And is the future of DC now more exciting… or more uncertain?

Jennifer Holland joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about Supergirl, Krypto, Peacemaker, and the real-life dog who helped inspire DC's newest superdog. In this conversation, Holland opens up about her dog Ozu becoming part of DC history as the inspiration behind Krypto.This summer, Supergirl takes audiences on an epic interstellar journey to save the life of Kara's best friend, her dog Krypto. Starring Milly Alcock in the title role, the DC Studios film also features fan-favorite DC characters including Superman and intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo. Directed by Craig Gillespie, Supergirl explores the origin of a reluctant superhero as Kara discovers her own brand of heroism on her own terms. Supergirl is only in theaters and IMAX June 26 from Warner Bros. Pictures.Holland talks about what it has been like to see Ozu, a scruffy adopted dog who was once afraid of humans, become the heart of Krypto's journey in the DC Universe. She explains how Krypto plays an important role in Supergirl, serving as Kara's emotional center and compass throughout the story.The conversation also dives into why audiences connect so strongly with animal characters, especially in superhero stories. Holland shares why the bond between humans and animals can be so meaningful, and how that connection gives viewers an easy emotional way into stories like Supergirl.Holland also breaks down which parts of Ozu made their way into Krypto, including his famous ear, rebellious streak, sweet personality, and loving nature. She also praises the visual effects artists behind Krypto, explaining how Ozu was used as a motion reference and how the final CGI work feels incredibly real on screen.The conversation also covers Holland's role as Emilia Harcourt in the DC Universe. Sean calls Harcourt the Nick Fury of the DCU, and Holland talks about what it means to play such a strong and complicated character across projects like Peacemaker and the larger DC world.Holland also opens up about working with John Cena, praising his growth as an actor, his emotional performance as Peacemaker, and the lessons she continues to learn from him. She also shares her excitement about possibly returning as Harcourt and wanting to know what happened to Peacemaker after Rick Flag sent him away.Milk-Bone is teaming up with Supergirl to celebrate one of the film's most iconic relationships: Supergirl and her super-powered pup, Krypto.

This is the recreation of a presentation given at the 2026 BYU Women's Conference focused on the theme of peacemaking. It emphasizes the importance of love, compassion, and understanding in fostering unity and peace, even in the face of disagreement and contention. It uses modern-day examples and draws inspiration from the teachings of Jesus Christ and from the Book of Mormon, which is a book of ancient scripture used hand-in-hand with the Bible.

From bar-hopping at CMA Fest with Jason Aldean's band to scheduled high school fights at 3 pm sharp, this episode of Try That in a Small Town is all about chaos, consequences, and the crazy ways we somehow survive it all. The guys kick things off with surgery scars, locked-up backs, and near misses in the garage, then pivot into behind-the-scenes CMA Fest stories, in-ear monitor nightmares, and why late-night stadium sets grind down even veteran players. They talk Morgan Wallen flipping pianos and throwing phones, Taylor Swift's historic new country single tied to Toy Story 5, and how modern country production has become so “perfect” it's almost personality-free. Things get heavier when they unpack the Carmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf stabbing at a track meet, race narratives in the media, and what real self-defense is—and isn't—when someone pulls a knife. They contrast that with a powerful small-town hero story: a Gwinnett County officer who saves a 7-year-old launched through a windshield. In classic TTIAST fashion, the crew rounds it out with songwriting pet peeves, delusional DMs from strangers wanting co-writes and video calls, bullying stories that still haunt them, and how golf, TV binges, and pizza reviews are getting them through recovery. 01:30 Surgeries, brutal bruises, allergic reactions to bandages and upcoming product bans in Tennessee 04:40 Locked-up back on the toilet, crawling across the house and day-three recovery status 06:30 Surviving CMA Fest: bar crawl sets, in-ear monitor disasters and playing blind on stage 09:45 Bar energy vs stadium distance and podcast fans popping up at shows 11:15 Late-night stadium headlining slot, fried fans, and what TV does to show times 14:00 Original Glory and Patriot Mobile sponsor segments 15:10 Learning piano one-handed after surgery, Jingle Bells, and mining TV shows for song ideas 17:50 TV recs: Life After Lockup, The Invisible Pilot, and Cape Fear reboot 20:20 NBA and Stanley Cup talk: Knicks' huge comeback, Wembanyama, and why some tuned out the NBA 22:45 Trump at the Garden, celebrity courtside culture, and politics vs respect for the office 24:40 Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 country single and the business behind her return to the format 29:00 Why modern country records all sound the same and the few acts still using their own bands 31:40 Morgan Wallen: “I Ain't Coming Back” lyric love, phone toss, piano flip and Billy Joel's defense 36:30 Wild private plane trip with Morgan Wallen, crass “rich buddies” and what stuck with Kalo 38:20 Post-surgery meds, apologizing to Neil, and the nurse/dong/stripper one-liner 41:10 Group shave before a heart cath and hospital humor 42:00 CMA Fest nights with Luke Bryan at his bar, tequila overload and four-day hangovers 44:10 Dipshits of the week: insane video chat requests, song pitches, and social media entitlement 47:00 Fans demanding co-writes and “brain picking” vs actually earning a seat at the table 50:40 The worst song “idea” ever: Cats in the Cradle… but backwards 55:00 Young writers sliding into DMs, asking for writes and coffees, and basic industry etiquette 58:40 Nearly gassing yourself in a closed garage while checking mixes: calling dipshit on yourself 1:01:40 Drone-rescue story: Apache down, surviving in the water and next-level military tech 1:05:30 Golf injuries, steroids on the road, and fighting to stay in playing shape 1:07:10 The Carmelo Anthony–Austin Metcalf stabbing: facts, sentencing and race narratives 1:12:10 Media framing, self-defense vs murder, and how race gets injected into every case 1:16:00 Scheduled school fights at the park, bus brawls and why nobody brought knives back then 1:19:40 Getting drilled in the face for knocking a kid's basketball away: lesson learned 1:20:30 One cold jab to the nose and understanding when you've gone too far 1:22:10 The bully who made you fast: getting wrecked in pickup football and later asking for tickets 1:24:20 Small Town Big Story: Officer Ariana James saves a 7-year-old thrown from a truck in Gwinnett County 1:26:10 Closing: Peacemaker Coffee, shoutout to listener Ed, scheduled fights and listener call-to-action ______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee joins the Try That In A Small Town podcast from CMA Fest in Nashville. He breaks down what the powerful Ways and Means Committee actually does and how it touches every American's life through taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, and more. Jason opens up about his small-town Missouri roots, being a fourth-generation farmer, raising white buffalo, and why he still lives in the same rural community he represents. He explains how he took the Ways and Means Committee on the road to 32 states to listen to working families, small businesses, and farmers before writing what he calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” – the largest tax cut in U.S. history, including no tax on tips and overtime. The conversation gets candid on Social Security's future, election integrity and slow vote counts in places like California, and what happens when people lose trust in the system. Jason also shares behind-the-scenes stories of working closely with President Trump – from grilling him for three hours on every line of a 103-title tax bill in the Oval Office to the now-famous “red button” that just orders Diet Coke. Along the way, they talk CMA Fest, Jason's obsession with Reba, the Chiefs, Mahomes vs. Brady, cleaning up Washington, D.C., and why he believes the founding fathers' values are really small-town values. Jason closes with a powerful story of a single mom whose $10,000 tax refund changed her life – and why that's why he still fights for small towns and working families.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Romans 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 1. Predetermine to be a peacemaker Definition of peacemaker: Eirēnopoios Eirene = peace or wholeness Poieo = to make, to do, or to create A peacemaker chooses to be a BRIDGE of reconciliation to people who DON'T KNOW peace to a GOD WHO IS peace. John 13:35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. Romans 12:9-21 “Marks of a True Christian” Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 2. Practically be a peacemaker Matthew 5:47 If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. 3. Portray the original Peacemaker Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.Romans 15:5-6 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Isaiah 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

What does it truly mean to be blessed? In Upside Down, Dr. Conway Edwards teaches that the crown fits the peacemaker—one who has the courage, wisdom, love, and humility to make the first move, resolve conflict, restore broken relationships, and pursue reconciliation as an ambassador of Christ.

Pastor Jay continues our seres on 1 Thessalonians with a a further look at its last bit of instruction, arguing that that biblical peace is not the absence of conflict but the pursuit of reconciliation through truth and love.

In this episode, you can learn:• Why the Beatitudes may describe a step-by-step process of psychological transformation rather than simply a list of virtues• How humility creates self-awareness, while self-acceptance creates the foundation for lasting change• Why emotional honesty, congruence, and compassion are essential for personal growth• How the first and last Beatitudes form a unique framework for understanding identity, transformation, and the development of the selfvideo: https://youtu.be/KbuiXmwdKeA?si=9ikjR9sQJLYJqoOXWhat if the Beatitudes are not merely moral teachings, but a roadmap for transformation? In this episode of Autism & the Structure of Reality, we explore the Beatitudes through the lenses of psychology, neuroscience, and personal development, revealing a progression from humility and self-awareness to self-respect and self-acceptance. Along the way, we examine why so many people struggle to change, how avoidance prevents growth, and why the first and last Beatitudes may hold the key to understanding the entire process of becoming who we are capable of becoming.Elevate How You Navigate with Len & a free call https://elevatehowyounavigate.comMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismDaylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism ‪Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 The Beatitudes; Self-Transformation & the Sermon on the Mount01:13 Poor in Spirit; Humility, Confidence & Self-Awareness04:23 Mourning; Emotional Honesty & Facing the Self08:28 Meekness; Strength Under Control10:03 Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness; Motivation, Meaning & Values14:14 Mercy; Judgment, Compassion & Understanding Others16:06 Pure in Heart; Congruence, Alignment & Integrity17:45 Peacemakers; Compassion, Relationships & Letting Go of Control22:53 Persecuted for Righteousness; Identity, Self-Respect & Acceptance24:08 Self-Awareness → Self-Acceptance; The Two-Part Process of Change27:05 Why Many Christians Stay Stuck; Reading Without Transformation28:07 The Two Present-Tense Beatitudes; Final ReflectionsX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheSpectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Have you ever been in a conversation and realized somewhere along the way you completely checked out? Not because you wanted to, but because your wiring just took you somewhere else? That's what this episode is about. Jason VanRuler is back as co-host, and together he and Candace break down what happens when each of the five PATHS communication types disengage. Not through open conflict or blowups — the quieter drift that happens when a Peacemaker decides it is not worth it, when a Thinker goes silent and starts cycling inward, or when a Harbor abandons themselves by over-functioning for everyone else. Candace talks openly about parenting teenagers and what it took to remember she was the adult in the room, even when the room was loud. Jason shares what it looks like when couples call him months after an intensive counseling session, having slid back into the same patterns that brought them in the first time. Connection, he says, is not something you tend to reactively. It is something you build consistently, and every PATHS type has a particular way of falling off that path. There are four listener questions in this episode, and they are honest ones: about anger that feels like it comes out of nowhere, about walls built to protect and then impossible to take down, about keeping a marriage strong when your husband is gone for twelve-plus hours a day. Candace shares what 30 years of marriage actually looks like, including the truth that not every day is a great day, and why two willing people might be the only real secret there is.

What if the reason your closest relationships feel stuck isn't about how much you care — but about how differently you and the people you love communicate? Today, I sit down with Jason VanRuler, therapist, Enneagram Two, and author of Discovering Your Communication Type: The 5 Paths to Deeper Connection and Stronger Relationships, as he introduces us to his P.A.T.H.S. framework — five communication styles he identified through years of working with couples navigating betrayal, teams in conflict, and individuals trying to understand why the same words land so differently depending on who's in the room. Those five types: the Peacemaker, the Advocate, the Thinker, the Harbor, and the Spark.  The nine Enneagram types map fascinatingly onto these five communication styles, and we walk through each type together. We talk about blind spots (every communication style has one), what happens to our style under stress and in conflict, and why the most generous thing you can do in any relationship is learn to speak your people's language rather than demanding they speak yours. Jason also shares honestly from his own marriage — he's a Harbor married to a Thinker — and what changed when he learned to stop reading his wife's precision questions as opposition and started hearing them as her version of love. Whether you're an Enneagram enthusiast, a couples therapist, a team leader, or just someone who's tired of feeling unseen in conversations, this episode is for you.  

Have you ever known something was broken in a relationship but had no idea how to say what you actually needed to fix it? That's where so many of us get stuck. This week, Candace and communication coach Jason VanRuler move from understanding the PATHS types to putting them to work, starting with a listener question about a family conflict that has been festering for twenty years. Jason reframes the whole thing: the problem is rarely that people won't talk. It's that they don't know what they need in order to move forward. The conversation moves through how each communication type engages with conflict, from the Peacemaker who needs reassurance that the relationship will survive the hard conversation, to the Advocate who can throw the whole relationship away for the win, to the Thinker who arrives with a trolley of evidence, to the Harbor who creates so much space for feelings that the conflict never actually gets resolved, to the Spark who surprises everyone when the intensity finally breaks. Jason also addresses what to do when the other person simply is not willing, and how to tell the difference between what we want and what we actually need. Two more listener questions round out the episode: a mom whose first-grade son keeps getting excluded, and a teenage girl named Blythe navigating anxiety. Jason's answer to both comes back to the same thing. Confidence rooted in identity. When we know who we are and what we stand for, rejection still hurts, but it doesn't define us. And for the teenage girl spinning in worry? Noting the anxiety and then redirecting that energy somewhere useful turns out to be far more effective than overthinking it.
