Listen ""Finding Our Story: When Our Story Tempts"- Matthew 4: 1-11"

Episode Synopsis

Immediately after Jesus’ baptism, Jesus is taken to the Wilderness and tested by Satan three times. These temptations, according to Henri Nouwen, act as archetypes for the same temptations the world places on us today. Like Jesus, we are tempted to prove our worth by the world around us. If we can perform better, we can be better. Jesus knew this to be a lie. Unfortunately, this is a message we’re still trying to grasp today.
