“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Rohan unpacks what Jesus meant by makarios (“truly fortunate”) and why biblical meekness isn’t weakness but power under control. With Psalm 37 as a backdrop, this episode reframes status-chasing and shows how restraint, humility, and servant-leadership align us with God’s upside-down kingdom.
