God speaks this blessing over Jesus: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

And then leads him straight into the wilderness.



Wait… what?



Have you ever wondered why? And if Jesus was led into the wilderness, what does that say about our own wilderness seasons?



Listen in and meditate on Mark 1. As you do, allow the Spirit to help you notice something from these words that applies to your own life.



Once you’ve listened to this Scripture Experience podcast, head over to the next episode and listen to the interview with author Casey Tygrett (posted 4.26.23). We discuss how wilderness seasons are restless seasons. And how restlessness can actually be a gift in our life.

Mark 1:9-13

9 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
