What does it REALLY mean when Jesus says “Blessed are the peacemakers”? Most people assume it means being nice or avoiding conflict… but this episode breaks down the deeper spiritual reality behind peace, grace, faith, and identity as children of God. Straight Bible Episode 3 dives deep into the Sermon on the Mount to unpack the biblical definition of peace, the supernatural connection between grace and peace, and why peacemaking is evidence of transformation — not the cause of it.In this episode, Matt and crew explore powerful scripture connections across Matthew, Romans, Psalms, Hebrews, and more, revealing how peace functions as a spiritual force, a kingdom culture, and a manifestation of God’s work inside believers. They also tackle controversial topics like division in families, denominational structure vs personal relationship with God, and why pursuing peace sometimes requires spiritual separation.📖 This conversation challenges surface-level Christianity and pushes listeners toward authentic faith, spiritual maturity, and kingdom culture rooted in love, grace, and obedience to Christ.🧭 Topics Covered• Sermon on the Mount breakdown – Matthew 5:9• Biblical meaning of peace (Greek: Eirene)• Why peacemaking is evidence of being a child of God• Grace and peace connection explained• How peace functions as a spiritual force• Division vs peace in the teachings of Jesus• Pursuing peace in conflict and suffering• Faith, transformation, and kingdom identity• Cultural Christianity vs authentic discipleship• The spiritual cost of following ChristPatreon (Watch Live episodes, early & ad free): https://www.patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquadWebsite & Merch: https://nephilimdeathsquad.comListen/Watch:Audio Podcast: nephilimdeathsquad.carrd.co/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NephilimDeathSquadX: https://twitter.com/NephilimDSquadInstagram: https://instagram.com/nephilimdeathsquadFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/1AscxBNoH4/ Contact: [email protected] TopLobsta:X: https://twitter.com/TopLobstaInstagram: https://instagram.com/TopLobstaMerch: https://TopLobsta.comRaven:X: https://twitter.com/DavidLCorboInstagram: https://instagram.com/ravenofndsMatt Hepner – The Standard Coffee:Instagram: @thestandardclclWebsite: https://www.thestandardclcl.com/ Sponsors/Affiliates:Weld Protein Energy Drink: Drink WeldLittle Palm Coconut Water: Little PalmMilk & Honey Coffee co: Milk & HoneyEllas Popcorn: ellaspopcorn.comRife Tech – https://realsrifetechnology.com/ (Code: NEPHILIM for 10% off)Purge Store – https://purgestore.com/ (Code: NEPHILIM for 10% off)Credits:Intro Animation: @jslashr on XMusic: @Dallas_spitfire on X | https://gmbpod.com/ Listen to full intro music here!https://m.soundcloud.com/gmbsounds/nephilim-death-squad?utm_source=mobi&utm_campaign=social_sharing00:00 – Cold Open & Intro00:32 – Sermon on the Mount Episode 3 Begins00:38 – “Blessed Are the Peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9)01:04 – Scripture as a Mirror: The Bible Interprets Us03:12 – What Jesus Means by “Peacemakers”07:05 – Peacekeeping vs True Peacemaking11:42 – Identity as Children of God16:18 – Internal Peace Before External Peace21:30 – Conflict, Truth & Righteousness26:55 – Why Biblical Peace Requires Truth32:14 – Kingdom Ethics Explained37:48 – Misunderstanding Peace in Modern Christianity43:05 – Spiritual Maturity & Responsibility48:22 – Applying the Beatitudes to Daily Life53:40 – Walking in Obedience vs Cultural Christianity59:12 – The Cost of Being a Peacemaker1:04:36 – Living Out the Sermon on the Mount1:09:15 – Practical Faith Application1:13:42 – Final Teaching Points1:17:05 – Closing Thoughts & Prayer1:19:30 – OutroBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad-biblical-conspiracy--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com.
