The Good Life according to Jesus
Jesus opened his most well-known teaching with nine short blessings called the beatitudes. What do these blessings really mean, and what might they mean for his followers today?

TIM MACKIE
Tim is married to Jessica, and together they are raising two little boys, Roman and August, in the wonderful city of Portland, Oregon.
Tim is an adjunct professor of biblical studies at Western Seminary and a creative writer for BibleProject.
He’s been fascinated with Jesus and his Jewish heritage ever since he became a Christian at 20 years old through an urban outreach ministry to skateboarders in Portland called SkateChurch. Tim discovered the wonderful world of biblical studies and languages at Multnomah University and Western Seminary, and he had the privilege of doing a PhD in Hebrew and Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Tim’s greatest passion is to help people grasp the beautiful and compelling story of the ancient Scriptures and how they lead us to Jesus of Nazareth.
JON COLLINS
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Jon received a BA in Bible and Theology from Multnomah University where he became good friends with Tim Mackie.
After working overseas in Christian ministry and serving for a year as a pastor, Jon stepped into the marketplace to explore digital communication. He worked with clients ranging from Google and P&G to Silicon Valley startups and nonprofits. And, in 2009, Jon’s first company, Epipheo, introduced the business world to explainer videos.
In early 2016, Jon ended his participation in former business ventures to work exclusively on BibleProject. Jon brought his history of creating short, informative videos to Tim’s Bible expertise, and together they set out to help people understand the Bible. Jon serves as Chief Creative Officer and Chairman of the Board at BibleProject and lives in Portland with his wife, Tristen, and their two sons.
