In this teaching from The Good Life, Ashley Edgemon focuses on Matthew 5:11-12, where Jesus declares, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." These words challenge our understanding of blessing, showing that even in times of opposition and suffering for Christ, there is a profound joy and eternal reward.

Ashley unpacks how this Beatitude encourages believers to remain steadfast in faith during trials. By embracing God’s promises and recognizing the honor of sharing in Christ’s suffering, we discover a blessedness that goes beyond circumstances. This teaching reminds us that the good life is found in faithfulness to God, even when it costs us the approval of the world.
