Preaching this Lent? The wilderness journey of Jesus offers profound insights into identity, vocation, and the church's mission today.In this episode of Sermon Brainwave, Profs. Karoline Lewis, Rolf Jacobson, and Matt Skinner dig into the testing of Jesus in the wilderness—what it reveals about identity, vocation, and trust in God.

Guided by the week's commentaries, they wrestle with key questions: 🔹 How do Jesus' temptations connect to the church's calling today? 🔹 What do Deuteronomy 26, Psalm 91, and Romans 10 teach us about gratitude, worship, and faithfulness in times of trial?

Join us as we explore these Lenten themes and offer insights to inspire your preaching this season.
