In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down over Matthew 5:5: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” In a tribalized world shaped by algorithms, outrage, and echo chambers, Jesus calls His disciples into a strength that doesn’t need to dominate. We unpack what “meek” (praeis) really means—gentleness with backbone, power under control—and why Jesus links it to the promise of inheritance rather than conquest. You’ll hear how this Beatitude echoes Psalm 37, why meekness is a form of resistance against online manipulation, and what it looks like to live with conviction without contempt. We’ll end with simple practices to help you train meekness in your speech, your reactions, and your digital life.

In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down and sit with one of the tenderest lines Jesus ever spoke: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). We explore what “mourning” really means in the Beatitudes—personal grief, the ache of a broken world, and sorrow that awakens the heart instead of hardening it. This isn’t a call to pretend pain is good or to rush past sorrow with clichés. It’s Jesus’ promise that tears don’t disqualify you—they become a meeting place with God’s presence, strength, and hope. Together, we’ll learn how to mourn as disciples through biblical lament, honest naming of loss, and trusting that the Kingdom is coming even in the valley.

In Episode 2 of our slow-and-deep journey through the Sermon on the Mount, we linger over the first Beatitude: Matthew 5:3 — “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does “blessed” (makarioi) actually mean? What kind of “poverty” is Jesus talking about (ptōchoi)—and why does He begin His kingdom teaching here? We explore the Greek language, Old Testament echoes, and the spiritual posture Jesus calls the doorway into kingdom life: open hands, honest need, and surrender. This episode isn’t about self-hatred or spiritual performance—it’s about the freedom of dependence and the surprising promise that the Kingdom belongs to those who stop pretending they can earn it.
