Mari reflects on the three temptations—comfort/physical needs, power and false worship, and fear/testing God—highlighting how Jesus answers with Scripture and how the devil even uses Scripture. She emphasizes that knowing Scripture isn’t enough without living according to God’s ways, offers reflection questions, and shares a takeaway that the desert is preparation, not punishment, inviting listeners to lean into Lent with prayer and fasting.00:00 Welcome to Ever Be00:42 Life Update02:43 Bible Study Setup04:15 Opening Prayer05:17 Luke 4 Reading06:55 Contemplative Prayer09:41 Three Temptations15:42 Fear and Trust16:40 Scripture and Salvation19:20 Reflection Questions20:54 Desert as Preparation------Episode SponsorsCrunchi - crunchi.com/mariwagnerWest Coast Catholic - westcoastcatholic.co------Follow Along:Ever Be Podcast InstagramMari Wagner Instagram West Coast Catholic Instagram

Annie shares how, at 15, she felt called to bring people to Jesus through creation in a summer-camp setting, and how that dream was shaped through college, FOCUS, and many “switchbacks” of closed doors before Camp Tiwa launched. They discuss fear of disappointment, discerning whether a dream is from the Lord, practical ways to move from vision to action, and how God can fulfill dreams differently than expected. The episode closes with encouragement to pursue sainthood in ordinary life through daily faithfulness rather than perfectionism.00:00 Meet Annie Powell05:47 Dreaming Camp Wojtyla10:11 Handling Doubts11:25 Discernment Advice19:52 Switchbacks and Closed Doors21:54 Dreams Versus Gods Plan25:45 Prayer Answers and Surrender26:59 Learning Through Redirection28:29 Making Dreams Practical33:24 Dreaming of Sainthood34:33 Holiness Not Perfection38:58 Daughterhood and Gods Gaze------Episode Sponsors:Learn more about Camp Wojtyla!West Coast Catholic - westcoastcatholic.co------Follow Along:Ever Be Podcast InstagramMari Wagner Instagram West Coast Catholic InstagramMentioned in this episode:AboutEver Be is a Faith and Lifestyle podcast hosted by Mari Wagner.
