Fruit of the Spirit: Meekness (feat. DJ)

What does it mean to be meek? It’s a word we pass around but rarely define or dive into. Matthew 5:5 tells us the meek will inherit the earth, which means we should probably know what it means. DJ joined me as we tried to make sense of this Fruit of the Spirit and apply it to life.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5 KJV

Introduction

What does it mean to be meek? It’s a word we pass around but rarely define or dive into. Matthew 5:5 tells us the meek will inherit the earth, which means we should probably know what it means. DJ joined me as we tried to make sense of this Fruit of the Spirit and apply it to life.

About DJ

DJ and I met in the young adult ministry at our church. He participates in our Sabbath school and Bible study discussions, and like most of us, is trying to grow in his relationship with Christ.

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
Titus 3:2
