In this episode we'll talk about Matthew 4 and Luke 4-5. We'll cover three separate insights. First, we'll discuss Jesus' experiences with Satan's temptations and how yielding to temptations will never bring ultimate happiness. Second, we'll review the example of Jesus' first interaction with Simon Peter. We'll talk about the importance of following the promptings of the Spirit, regardless of how they might conflict with conventional wisdom. Third, we'll discuss the concept of self-care, review examples from scripture about how the Savior did this intentionally, and talk about how important it is to take some sort of emotional break on a regular basis.
