Blessed Are the Humble: What the 3rd Beatitude Really Means

In this episode of the Beatitudes Series, Inés Franklin teaches on what it truly means to be humble in the way Jesus described—strong, surrendered, and grounded in truth.

Too often we confuse humility with weakness or lack of confidence. But the biblical vision of meekness is powerful: it’s the kind of strength that’s anchored in trust, not self-promotion. Jesus modeled this when he knelt to wash his disciples’ feet (John 13), showing us that humility isn’t thinking less of ourselves—it’s thinking of ourselves less.

With scriptural insight and personal experience, Inés guides us to see humility not as something to avoid but something to cultivate—because it’s the path to true Kingdom impact.
