Episode notes
Meek Means Tamed Or Disciplined
- The Greek word translated as 'meek' (prayous) more closely means 'tamed' or 'disciplined'.
- Brian Johnson and Eric Butterworth frame this as becoming a low-resistance conductor for divine power.

- Translation nuances matter: Jesus spoke Aramaic and the gospels were written in Greek later.
- Small shifts in wording (meek → tamed/discipline) change practical interpretation of teachings.
