Lent, a season of preparation for baptism, is an opportunity to explore different facets of faith as we engage in a discipline that resists anything that would lead us away from God's love. This podcast will delve into the gospel reading for each Sunday in Lent, focusing on how each story helps us understand and grow in faith.

This episode begins the discussion with the Temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4, examining its context and significance in understanding Jesus’ identity as God’s Son. The temptations show us Jesus’ commitment to his divine calling of servanthood and humility, challenging our understanding of Jesus' identity as God's Son, setting the stage for the ongoing struggle between the kingdom of God and worldly kingdoms throughout the Gospel of Matthew and in our own lives.
