Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tested, God allowed this. It did not cancel God’s love, it deepened Jesus’ trust. What does this mean for us as Light Bearers in the Lenten season?

On today’s episode, I want to look at Jesus and His time in the wilderness. If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, tempted, lonely, or like you’re in a season that makes no sense, this one is for you.

I want to preface this podcast with saying I take issue when Christian’s use the word wilderness. Some say that in wilderness seasons God is silent, God is hiding, God is far away and that’s just not true. We can have seasons where we are more spiritually dry, tempted, grieving, lonely, and on the list goes- but that has to do with us and out feelings or circumstances, not with God. We shouldn’t blame Him if things don’t feel right to us and our easily swayed hearts.
