Meekness and Power

from The Woodlands: A Place for Exploring the Spiritual Life · host Jake Owensby

In a time when power is often mistaken for strength, Jesus speaks a different word: “Blessed are the meek.”In this episode, I reflect on what meekness truly means — not passivity or withdrawal, but a form of power shaped by humility, love, and trust in God. As the world grows more captivated by control and dominance, the way of Jesus invites us to live otherwise — faithful, courageous, and grounded in mercy. This is a public episode.
