Social media, exams, peer pressure. In this world crammed full of external voices, how do our young people connect with the church and God? During His time in the wilderness, Jesus was also subject to external voices. What can we learn from this, particularly how it relates to our young people and dealing with the pressures they are under?

In this episode, Kaleb dives into the theme of how Jesus' wilderness experience offers a roadmap for navigating the trials and challenges we face today. As Christian dads, learning to lead ourselves and our families well through tough seasons is essential, and Kaleb offers insights, encouragement, and practical steps to do just that. Episode Highlights: Wilderness: The Crossroads of Growth or StagnationKaleb kicks off by explaining how wilderness seasons can either shape us into stronger followers of Christ or leave us crippled by fear and frustration. He shares personal reflections on how wilderness moments challenge our faith and force us to choose between pressing forward or retreating in discouragement.Time Stamp: 00:14 - 02:40 Engaging God in the Midst of Spiritual FogKaleb encourages listeners not to "check out" during difficult times but to press deeper into God. He discusses the importance of wrestling with our emotions, praying, journaling, and talking to trusted friends, using these wilderness seasons as opportunities for spiritual growth and soul-searching.Time Stamp: 02:40 - 05:02 Jesus in the Wilderness: An Example of EnduranceKaleb unpacks Jesus' experience of being led by the Spirit into the wilderness, showing how He modeled endurance through prayer, fasting, and resisting temptation.

He challenges listeners to reject the cultural pressure to "prove" themselves through grand gestures and instead focus on daily faithfulness to God's calling.Time Stamp: 19:18 - 24:02 Embracing Humility: The Temptation to PowerKaleb addresses the temptation to seek control or power as a way to validate ourselves. He explains that true fulfillment comes not from climbing the ladder of success but from walking in humility and surrender to God's will.Time Stamp: 24:02 - 28:49 The Wilderness as a Place of GrowthKaleb concludes by reframing the wilderness as a place of training, where God shapes our character and strengthens our faith. He encourages dads to embrace these challenging seasons as opportunities to become more like Jesus and lead their families well through faith and perseverance.Time Stamp: 28:49 - 31:10 Connect with Kaleb Allen: Website: Dad Tired Instagram: @t.kaleb.allen Podcast: Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.

Reflection Questions: When was the last time you felt like you were in a spiritual wilderness? How did it affect your relationship with God? What specific areas of your life are you finding it difficult to trust God in right now? How do you typically respond when God feels distant or silent? What might change if you leaned into that silence instead of running from it? How can you intentionally seek Jesus in the quiet moments of your day, even when it feels like He's far away? Think about a time when God met you in an unexpected way. How can that experience shape how you approach current struggles? Listener Questions:Kaleb loves hearing from the Dad Tired community!

In this episode Pastor Kaleb Allen explores the theme of spiritual wilderness, discussing the internal struggles many face despite external appearances of success. He draws on the teachings of St. John of the Cross, particularly the concepts of active and passive nights, to illustrate the journey of faith and the importance of detachment from worldly comforts. Kaleb emphasizes the necessity of relying on God during these challenging times and encourages listeners to trust in God's presence and work in their lives, even when they feel abandoned or dry. Key Scripture References: Matthew 4:1-11 - Jesus' wilderness experience and temptation. John 4:10 - Jesus offers living water to the Samaritan woman. Philippians 3:8 - Paul's perspective on valuing Christ above all things. Isaiah 64:8 - The image of God as the potter and us as clay. Discussion& Reflection Questions: Reflect on a wilderness season in your life. How did God work in you during that time, and what was the outcome when you came out of it? Active vs. Passive Nights: Kaleb talks about active nights (where we initiate spiritual disciplines) and passive nights (where God takes the lead). Can you identify a season in your life that felt like each type? How did each contribute to your growth? Detachment: Are there things in your life that you've found yourself overly attached to for comfort or fulfillment? How might God be calling you to detach from these and rely on Him more fully? Trusting in God's Presence: When you're in a season where God feels distant, what practical steps can you take to keep trusting in His presence? How can this group help you in such times? Perseverance: What does perseverance look like for you when you're in the wilderness? What practices or habits help you hold on to God during these tough seasons?

Mark 1:9-139 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, 13 and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

In a new series for Lent this year, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve are going to be looking at some of the major ways the community of Jesus' followers, the church, may be tempted away from the path and way of Jesus.  We'll be exploring things like the temptation for the church to wield governmental or political power, the temptation to sell out to what is trendy, and the temptation to make ourselves the saviors of the world rather than Jesus.  But to start the conversation, the three pastors will do a little more in-depth exploration of the stories of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness from the Gospels, particularly in Matthew and Luke.  Do these surreal stories about meeting the devil in the wilderness, turning stones into bread, or jumping from the height of the temple mean something for us in our daily, down-to-earth lives?  And if so, what do they say?  Join us this Lent to look at where we might be lured away from the path of Jesus, and how we respond to those temptations, here on Crazy Faith Talk!

God leads Jesus into the wilderness for 40 days. Though most of us are not journeying through a literal landscape of wilderness, we will all have spiritual seasons of being in the wilderness. As hard as those seasons can be, Pastor Holly shares three truths that we can hold on to while we're in the midst of them. 

Part of The Life of Christ series. Sermon by Pastor Dave Scherrer

You just had an amazing relaxing trip, but as you head back home that vicious thought creeps back in: "You're going back to life just as bad as it once was." "You will never be able to live this calm in your personal life." "Don't forget to get the groceries, do the laundry, and file your taxes before work on Monday." The list goes on and on. And those intrusive thoughts can tear you down SO fast. But what does the Lord say about these thoughts? How can we guard ourselves for the post vacation blues? In this episode we will take a closer at some Bible verses to see what the Lord has to say on this topic.  If you liked this episode, I highly encourage you to check out episode 110: How To Boost Your Confidence To Travel Solo or episode 45: Jesus In The Wilderness.

338 In this episode, I teach about how faith was used in the covenant God made Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3.Now the Lord had said to Abram: Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you.I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.We also look at how David used the covenant to fight Goliath. Finally, we look at how Jesus fought satan in the wilderness.
