Meekness, Not Weakness

Episode 4
Just because things rhyme, that doesn't mean they are the same. If you use a cat for a bat, you'll never get a hit, and if you wear it as a hat, you'll probably regret it. And yet we tend to mix up meekness by thinking it is a weakness when the reality is that it takes a lot more strength to live out meekness than it does to dominate, bully, or push your way over the top of anyone else.
Well then, what IS meekness? And how could we live it out, if we chose to give it a try? And what does any of this have to do with an argument about Moses having married (according to his sister) above his station? For that, I guess you'll need to join us for this week's dip into the Beatitudes of Jesus.
