What if meekness isn’t weakness—but the moment we stop needing to be right?
Jesus doesn’t bless those who dominate, out-argue, or control the Church.
If He did, He would have come down from the Cross.
Instead, He stayed.
In this episode of Where the Dove Rests, we explore why meekness is not passivity, but strength that has passed through poverty of spirit, mourning, and trust in the Father. Drawing from Psalm 37, the Passion narrative, and the Beatitudes, we confront how the loss of meekness—through politicking, liturgical tribalism, and the need to win—creates real scandal and quietly blocks access to Jesus.
Truth doesn’t need domination to survive.
When the Church forgets this, people stop approaching Christ.
When meekness returns, the Dove rests—and Jesus becomes visible again.
