Episode Description

Scripture: Luke 4:1-13

This Sunday we remembered Martin Luther King, Jr. and also focused on the temptations of Jesus as recounted in Luke (and Matthew and to a lesser degree in Mark).

Temptations offer a test. There's a chance to pass it and a chance to fail it.

She provided a number of ideas to get us thinking about how we could address some of the temptations we might be facing due to the national turmoil.
