The Constitution for a New Kingdom

What if the way we measure a good life is upside down?

In one of his most famous talks, Jesus didn’t offer tips for being more religious. He described a whole new way of being human—where humility is strength, compassion is power, and love extends even to enemies. It was so disruptive that it still unsettles people two thousand years later.

In this series, we’ll explore the Sermon on the Mount as a bold vision for life as it could be. Whether you’re spiritually curious, skeptical, or searching for something more grounded than self-help or success culture, we’ll ask what might change if Jesus was serious—and if this way of life actually works.
