Summary

Many leaders today believe that if we're going to get things done and be successful, we must "take the bull by the horns". We are told that strength and power win in the economy of leadership.

So when Jesus boldly announces "Blessed are the Meek", it's no wonder that many of us shrug our shoulders and keep plowing ahead.

In today's podcast, I share a sermon that explores the depth underneath Jesus' words as he invited us into a life marked by meekness.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Pete Scuzaro. I want to welcome you today to the Emotionally Healthy Leader
0:09.9	Podcast. So good to be with you. Today's theme is one thing no leader wants, but every leader needs.
0:20.1	While every Christian, and especially every Christian leader, desperately
0:23.6	needs this we're going to talk about today, you will not find it really as a topic on any
0:29.5	leadership conferences or even Christian conferences because it's just so radical. It's so
0:34.5	outside the box. It's so countercultural. And yet it's one of the

0:56.7	of Jesus from Matthew, Chapter 5.
1:00.2	So as our free resource this week, let me invite you to download our e-book called Discover
1:05.9	Sabbath Delight, because I think it's a wonderful companion to the topic.
1:10.6	Just go to Emotionally Healthy.org slash Sabbath because slowing down for Sabbath delight
1:17.1	will soften us with the love of God and tame us a bit.
1:21.9	So now let me invite you to listen in on this message.
1:24.4	I'm simply calling today one thing no leader wants, but every leader needs.
1:31.1	Enjoy.
1:35.6	All right, Matthew 5, verse 3.
1:37.7	Okay, verse 3, beatitudes.
1:40.2	Blessed are the poor and spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
1:44.6	Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
1:49.0	Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
