Four habits you need in the desert of temptation [DESERT SERIES #5]

As long as we live in corruptible bodies, we’re going to face the desert of temptation. Sometimes we’re even going to stumble. The greatest saints have despaired over their propensity toward temptation even in their old days.
Even so, we don’t have to throw in the towel and simply give in. Jesus modeled for us how to battle temptation and live victoriously, and we are called to follow His example.
In today’s podcast I invite you to learn and apply four habits that will help you overcome the desert of temptation. I can’t wait for you to listen to this episode!ABOUT:

Hearing God’s voice in the desert of His silence [DESERT SERIES #4]

One of the most common deserts we go through is the desert of God’s silence.
What do we do when we get a sense that God has forgotten us, leaving us feeling isolated and confused? What do we do when we’ve felt stuck in a spiritual desert for such a long time, we have begun to doubt God exists at all? What do we do when God is silent?
Today’s podcast will remind you that although God might be silent, He is not absent. And although He might fail to respond in the way and timing we desire, He is inviting us to a walk of trust and submission to His ways.

Navigating the Christian life in the desert of community [DESERT SERIES #3]

Community and connection are no longer a given. We’re living in an era where our work, “social life,” relationships, and even church is done on a device. We don’t reach out to, relate to, or do life together, in person, with others any longer.
We can blame it on Instagram, TikTok, Covid, church leadership failure, or simply cultural influences, but there is no doubt that more and more people feel lonely even as we’re more “connected” than ever before.
How do we navigate the desert of community as believers, knowing that community is what we were created for, but also realizing the real challenges to building community nowadays?

We cannot live in a broken world and not feel grief. Grief is deep sorrow that is a response to loss and pain, and it’s an emotion we’d rather escape. But Jesus himself was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we can learn from Him that we can grieve and still hold on to hope.
