This episode of the Transformation Intensive podcast explores 'Week 15: The Temptation in the Wilderness.' Adam Graber introduces the Tip of the Week, “God will give you more than you can handle,” and the Ignatius Seventh Rule of Discernment. Adam reflects on the nature of temptation using personal anecdotes and biblical insights, specifically emphasizing that to encourage reliance on divine strength. The discussion includes stories of faith, such as Lisa Beamer’s experience post-9/11, and aligns with scriptural guidance from 1 and 2 Corinthians. Practical advice is provided on differentiating between weakness and temptation while embracing God's grace during spiritual trials. Then, Valerie McIntyre introduces the weekly prayer exercises, encouraging listeners to meditate on Jesus' time in the wilderness, and offers strategies for engaging deeply with scripture through imaginative contemplation. The episode concludes with references to C.S. Lewis’s chronicles that illustrate Ignatian discernment and an invitation to watch a relevant homily by Henri Nouwen.
