Built to Last: Living the Sermon on the Mount in a World That Won’t Hold

Jesus didn’t come to tweak our habits—He came to transform our hearts. In this powerful episode of the Sermon Notes Podcast, Wade Owens (Campus & Teaching Pastor at The Church at Nolensville) joins Brian Ball to walk through Matthew 7 and revisit the major themes of the Sermon on the Mount. Together, they explore what it means to follow Jesus with persistence, discernment, and obedience in a culture that often runs counter to kingdom values.

They discuss why Jesus’ words aren’t just moral guidelines but foundational truths for living “right side up” in a world that often feels upside down. From the dangers of false teaching to the fruit of authentic discipleship, from humble prayer to spiritual perseverance, this episode calls every listener to examine the foundation of their life—and to build it on the Rock.
