The Beatitudes Project eCourseReviews of thebeatitudesproject.com

The Beatitudes project has been a wonderful experience for me. It’s given my faith a real lift. My introduction to the project was through the podcasts, which are wonderful conversations between hosts Stu and Brian. The conversations are so inviting to listen to (it feels like sitting in with a couple of old friends) yet also challenging and full of thought provoking insights. I think this is a reflection of the course as a whole: the feeling of being invited in and encouraged to think, yet also being challenged to apply the beatitudes to the way we live. There is a lot of depth to the course, and clearly a lot of time and love has gone into producing all the resources. I love that all the different resources in the course come together and give you time to really focus on a particular area. The idea of putting aside what we think we know, coming with fresh ears, and learning how to stop and truly listen feels so refreshing in the midst of the instant culture that we live in. It's a deep dive into these amazing words of Jesus and how we live them out today, and I highly recommend it.

Having followed Stu G's musical output for some time am now excited to have not just songs (brilliant though they are, with the many collaborations) but now a connected project - book - film - study - podcasts .... Much better than the sermons I’ve heard over the years, these give a link between the words of Jesus and people’s lives now. So much to dig into, so much to challenge your thinking, so many songs that just hook into your brain and bring your thoughts back to the sayings and stories time and again. Have no fear sharing this project with your friends, everything is well crafted, they will thank you for it.

The album is beautiful and the podcast series is super engaging and challenging - a space to be real and dig deep into the most radical teachings of Jesus.

The book Word From the Hill, the music, the Beatitudes movie, and the podcasts all intertwine to make an incredible experience. Because I work with people with disabilities, I was struck by the truth in some of the chapters which I had never felt like anyone else outside of my profession would understand. The Beatitudes Project hits at the core of loving, respecting, and supporting others as God does for us no matter in what place we all find ourselves.

The Beatitudes Project movie was so powerful! My church, The Crossing in STL, had a special showing of the documentary. I came away in total awe of it. I haven’t read my book yet and listened to the CD on repeat for weeks afterwards! I felt like God nudged me and made sure I went to this event!

I’ve really enjoyed the beatitudes project ever since Stu came to our mens camp a couple years ago in Greer, AZ I love the message, and really like Stu’s authentic and heart felt delivery of the beatitudes. The music is so unique and really quite moving, especially after seeing the video of how the collaboration happened. Thank you!

I'm not a business leader, not a politician, not a current member of a religious organization, not...the "project" has reminded me that His voice was meant for my ears and the ears of all of us in the cheap seats. I've been reminded how to live "in" the world and to resist responding to the noise "of" the world. having access to the "project" on-demand has helped me silence the noise. the "project" offerings available through, music, reading, video, theology chats, personal reflection, and putting it into action exercises...the "project" reminds me there is a different way to live amidst all the noise and chaos. but that is from just one of the cheap seats on the hill. thanks stu

The course was good - though somewhat repetitive from other materials you've created. I'd also think about what you can do to make it more interactive - more lean forward vs. lean back?
