In this message, Terry Timm reflects on Jesus' temptations in the wilderness as a paradigm for our own Lenten journey, highlighting the temptations to be relevant, spectacular, and powerful. Drawing on Henri Nouwen and the desert mothers and fathers, he invites listeners to practices of contemplative prayer, confession, restraint in speech, and deep rooting in God's redemptive story as ways to resist the "wreckage of the world." Timm concludes by reminding us that we enter the wilderness of Lent not to become beloved but because we already are "deeply loved dust," blessed and accompanied by God on the journey.
