What If Justice Sounds Like Gentleness?

Welcome to today’s episode of the Daily Bible Refresh with Dr. Brad Miller! In this session, Dr. Miller offers a progressive and relatable exploration of Matthew 12:15-21, focusing on Jesus' gentle leadership style and the power of compassion and hope in the face of pressure. He emphasizes how true justice is enacted through quiet strength and dignity, while sharing personal and communal insights on faith, healing, and navigating life’s challenges with kindness.

Key Takeaways:

1. Jesus models a leadership rooted in quiet strength, showing that justice and transformation don’t require loudness or domination.
2. Compassion and justice are not opposites; true justice heals and restores rather than shames or excludes.
3. Hope travels further than control—faith inspires and uplifts, crossing boundaries and doubts without coercion.
4. Daily action steps include practicing gentleness in conversations, disagreements, and self-reflection.
