Episode Summary Brian Miller reflects on a growing ache he feels in both the church and the wider culture: we do not seem to know who to trust anymore. Trust in politicians, pastors, institutions, even the police has eroded. In that setting, Brian turns to Jesus — not as an abstract doctrine, but as a real person whose life reveals why he can be trusted. Drawing especially from Matthew 4, Brian frames Jesus' temptations in the wilderness as a test of trustworthiness. Jesus is tempted through need , fear , and power — the very pressures that often cause leaders and ordinary people alike to betray their mission, their values, or the people who depend on them.

And coaches cannot become trustworthy people unless they themselves are grounded in something secure.
