Episode 276 - Jesus, Meekness, and Fighting Satan
What if meekness isn't weakness but the strongest way Jesus fights?
In this episode, the friars turn to "Blessed are the meek" and uncover how meekness is not passivity or timidity, but the fruit of deep confidence and identity as sons of the Father. They explore how Jesus enters the ultimate battle, not with force or armor, but with humility, vulnerability, and unwavering trust in who He is. This is how He confronts temptation, resists Satan, and claims victory.
They reflect on how our own battles are often fought in the same place: our identity. When we're rooted in the Father's love, insecurity loses its power, and we're free to stand firm without grasping, proving, or defending ourselves.
Join us as we learn how meekness becomes strength, identity becomes armor, and Christ's victory becomes our own.
