"Jesus said to him, 'Again it is written, "You shall not put the Lord your God to the test."'" (Matthew 4:7)

In this episode, host Kate traces Jesus’ response to Satan in Matthew 4:7 back to the wilderness story at Massah — where Israel demanded proof that God was really among them. Through cross-references and careful study, you’ll see the shocking pattern of forgetfulness, the danger of unbelief, and the absurdity of testing a God who has already demonstrated His faithfulness again and again.

You’ll gain: A deeper understanding of what it truly means to “test God", the backstory behind Jesus’ quotation from Deuteronomy, insight into how Satan fuels unbelief through repetition of lies, and practical encouragement for resisting doubt by remembering the cross

If you’ve ever found yourself quietly asking God to “prove it,” this episode will lovingly confront, comfort, and point you back to the unshakable evidence of His steadfast love.
