Valley of Desire — The Dark Road to Dawn (Week 1)

We want to hear from You! Send us a Text!  Your desires aren't the problem — where you take them is. Father Aaron kicks off our five-week Lenten series "The Dark Road to Dawn" with this powerful sermon from Matthew 4:1-11. Following Jesus into the wilderness, we discover three essential human hungers — body, soul, and spirit — and what happens when we try to fill them the wrong way. The kid in the basement gaming all night, the CEO working 60-hour weeks, and the monk in prayer are all doing the same thing: running from emptiness, chasing fulfillment. The desire is identical. What's different is where they take it. This first week of Lent challenges us with two simple words: Stop and Sit. Don't grab, don't fill, don't run — just ask what you're actually starving for. Support the show
