134 Tested with Jesus (2): Attack on Faith and Falling from the Temple
Feb 24, 2026 Season 8 Episode 134
Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw

The Attaching to God podcast continues a three-week Lenten series on the Temptations of Jesus.

This episode reframes Jesus’ second temptation as an attack on his secure attachment to the Father—an attack on FAITH, provoking anxiety and testing whether God is really available. Geoff and Cyd talk about all the different reasons we develop “trust issues” and how they come out in our lives. They define faith as embodied reliance and lived loyalty, they share practical examples, and offer a practical Lenten practice.
