In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood offers a crucial caution about teaching the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount. Using the familiar “ladder to heaven” metaphor, he explains why framing salvation as moral ladder-climbing leads to fear, burnout, and failure—especially for modern Catholics. Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, this episode clarifies the primacy of grace, showing that the Sermon on the Mount is not about self-salvation but about Christ living His life in us through a living union with Him.
