Join Jesus on the top of the Temple in Jerusalem for the second temptation in the wilderness — Part 2 of When Jesus was Tempted. In this 10-minute Ignatian-style imaginative meditation, kids and parents explore how the devil tempts Jesus to show off, seek attention, and perform for applause, and discover His secret to staying faithful and humble.

Perfect for bedtime, the school drive, or quiet Lenten reflection, this episode helps children ages 7–14 reflect on their own temptations and ask Jesus for help in everyday life.

🌟 Family takeaway: “You do not need to perform to be loved.”
Includes kid-friendly examples, imaginative prompts, and practical discussion questions for families to apply this lesson together.
