Boldness and Meekness: Standing Strong with a Quiet Spirit | Closer to Jesus Podcast S2 Ep25 (2025)
In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, we explore the powerful combination of boldness and meekness in the life of a believer. These aren’t opposites—they’re companions. Boldness doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it quietly endures, forgives, and follows Jesus when no one else will.
I share the story of Daniel in the lions’ den and the incredible example of missionary Elisabeth Elliot—two lives that show us boldness looks different when it's clothed in meekness, humility, and faith.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Daniel 6:16–23 – Daniel is delivered from the lions because of his faith.
1 Peter 3:4 – “The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit… is of great price.”
Romans 8:28 – “All things work together for good to them that love God…”
1 John 1:3 – “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you…”
Colossians 3:12 – “Put on… compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience.”
💬 In this episode:
-We redefine what biblical boldness really looks like.
-We talk about enduring pain with purpose and power.
-We explore how to follow Jesus with strength and humility—even when it costs us everything.
-And we’re reminded that your testimony of what you’ve lived through may be the exact word someone else needs.
Whether you're facing your own lions or wrestling with loss, remember: You are not alone. You were built for this moment—and God’s strength is made perfect in your meekness.
