A Tempting Start

About this episode

Pastor Johanan explores the underlying issues of evil in humanity and how it manifests from childhood to adulthood.

In the 20th Century, mankind believed they had found the solution to evil: Education. Until we witnessed all the atrocities of World War 2… Education hadn’t “fixed” evil, because ignorance wasn’t the underlying issue. So then: What is the underlying issue? How does a cute, innocent baby grow up to become a twisted, malicious adult? How do we address the issue of “evil” - not just out there in the world - but here in our own lives? Join us as Pastor Johanan brings us answers in A Tempting Start from Matthew 4:1-11.
