Blessed are Persecuted // Eric Metaxas

On this Sunday, Eric Metaxas joined Pastor David Engelhardt in an interview-style message focused on the final Beatitude: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake.” Metaxas shared his reflections on the current cultural hostility toward biblical morality, the erosion of American identity, and the call for Christians to embrace spiritual courage. Drawing from both Scripture and his deep historical knowledge, he contrasted biblical righteousness with modern cultural compromise and emphasized the need to live unashamed of the gospel. Christians are called to walk boldly in the truth, knowing persecution may come—but so will reward.
