In this episode, Andrea tackles one of the most misunderstood lines from the Lord’s Prayer: “Lead us not into temptation.” Is God really testing us? Through Bible study of Matthew 6:13 and James 1, she explores the Greek term paraismos and reframes it from “temptation” to “testing.”

Using vivid analogies—tests in school, trials in the wilderness, and muscle-building—she offers a fresh perspective that can transform how we perceive life’s challenges. Whether you're walking through a personal valley or preparing for your next mountain, this episode brings clarity, encouragement, and hope.

• 🔍 Gain deeper understanding of the Lord’s Prayer and biblical truth

This message is especially for anyone feeling under pressure. Whether from personal hardship, spiritual burnout, or the pressure to “perform.” If you’re seeking meaning in your trials or needing assurance that God isn’t rooting for your failure, this episode is for you.

In this conversation I mention a previous teaching on Endurance. How to train your spiritual muscles and build resilient faith. Both episodes pair beautifully, guiding you from the day-to-day grind into deeper strength.
