In this episode I share a story of how I received Godly advise and counsel from two powerful women of God for a situation I was facing and related it to the story of Jethro (Moses's father in law) and Moses. We all need to have wise people around us and be able to take counsel from others. Who do you turn to when you need advice? Turn to the Holy Spirit first and allow him to lead you to the people who can advise you regarding your particular situation.

If you are a single mother or father raising children in today's society I want you to know that you are not alone and if you lean on God for help it makes your parenting better. Single parents are individuals who raise their children without the support of a partner. We tend to manage all aspects of parenting, from providing emotional and financial support to making important decisions about their children's education, health, and well-being. We as single parents often juggle multiple responsibilities, balancing work and family life while striving to create a nurturing and stable environment for their children. Despite the challenges, many single parents find strength, resilience, and fulfillment in their journey, drawing on their inner resources and often relying on community and faith for support. Lean on the word of God and his promises when you are feeling alone or helpless. I love you all and God bless you!

In this podcast, I dive into the profound spiritual journey of Jesus Christ during His 40 days in the wilderness. According to the Gospels, immediately after His baptism, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. This period was a pivotal moment in His ministry, filled with trials, temptations, and profound spiritual growth.

Key Themes and Insights:

• Solitude and Reflection: Jesus' time in the wilderness was one of solitude and deep reflection. Away from the distractions of daily life, He communed with God, preparing Himself for the mission ahead. This teaches us the value of seeking quiet times to connect with God and reflect on our purpose.
• Overcoming Temptation: During His time in the wilderness, Jesus faced three significant temptations from Satan. Each temptation was an attempt to derail His mission and compromise His integrity. By steadfastly relying on God's Word and His identity as God's Son, Jesus overcame each challenge, providing us a model for resisting temptation and standing firm in our faith.
• Dependence on God: Jesus' wilderness experience underscores the importance of total dependence on God. When tempted to turn stones into bread, He responded that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This reminds us that our spiritual sustenance is paramount and that God's provision is always sufficient.
• Spiritual Strength and Preparation: The wilderness was not just a place of testing but also one of preparation. Jesus emerged from the wilderness strengthened and ready to begin His public ministry. Similarly, our own wilderness experiences can serve to refine us, strengthen our faith, and prepare us for future challenges and opportunities.

Jesus' example in the wilderness can guide us through our own times of trial and temptation.
