02.22.26: The Pilgrim's Test: Temptation, Discipline, and the Lenten Journey

About this episode

Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons discusses the significance of Lent as a pilgrimage and explores the temptations faced by Jesus in the wilderness.

Lent is not a detour — it's a pilgrimage. On the first Sunday of Lent 2026, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons continues a four-week series by walking through Jesus' temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1–11), exploring three tests: appetite, spectacle, and efficiency. Each one mirrors the shortcuts we're tempted to take in our own spiritual lives. The invitation is clear — don't be a tourist to your own transformation. Walk the pilgrim path with Jesus this season, and let the discipline lead to freedom. #ThePilgrimsTest #Lent2026 #Matthew4 #TemptationInTheWilderness #LentenJourney #SacredPilgrimage #DisciplineEqualsFreedom #PCCAtlanta#PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #HolyWeek #RevDrJarrodLongbons
