What does it mean to be meek in a world that demands strength? Can gentleness and warfare coexist? In this episode, we explore the biblical concept of ‛ănâvâh — often translated as gentleness, humility, or meekness — and how it reveals a strength that doesn't shout, but stands firm.
Drawing from both Hebrew and Greek roots, we'll see how Scripture paints meekness not as weakness, but as power under control — the kind of strength that pursues justice, stands boldly in truth, and yet walks humbly with God.
You'll hear reflections on:
•2 Samuel 22 — where God’s gentleness makes us great even in the midst of battle
 
•Psalm 45 & 149 — showing how humility and righteousness are weapons of the King
 
•The life of Yeshua (Jesus) — who rode a donkey, washed feet, and was crucified in humility, yet confronted hypocrites with fearless clarity
 
•Practical wisdom from Paul and others — on restoring others, resolving conflict, and walking in unity with a spirit of meekness
 
We'll also share a personal story — how my father modeled humility not with grand words, but with quiet strength and patience. He didn’t "put on airs" — and that left a lasting legacy.
🔑 Key takeaways:
•A meek person is secure in their identity in Christ.
 
•A meek person resolves conflict with restraint.
 
•A meek person lives from a position of humility.
 
Gentleness is not passivity. Meekness is not weakness. It's the way of the Kingdom — strong, grounded, and full of grace.
