🎧 Episode 54 — Reading the Story of God

What if the Bible isn’t just something to read—but a place to meet Jesus?


In Episode 54 of the Faith for Today Podcast, we explore why Scripture is no ordinary book and why Jesus Himself viewed it as living, authoritative, and essential for spiritual formation. From the courage of William Tyndale and the early martyrs who gave their lives so everyday people could read the Bible, to Jesus’ own words in Matthew 5:17–19, this episode reframes Scripture as a living portal into God’s reality, fulfilled and embodied in Christ.


You’ll discover:

• Why Jesus trusted, taught, and submitted to the Scriptures

• How all of Scripture—Old and New Testament—finds its fulfillment in Him

• Why reading the Bible is about formation, not just information

• How to read Scripture without falling into legalism, boredom, or misuse

• What it means to practice the Bible as an apprentice of Jesus


We also address common objections and honest questions:

• Can the Bible be trusted historically and intellectually?

• What about contradictions, violence, or difficult passages?

• Why Scripture matters even if faith feels sincere without it


This episode invites you to recover a slow, prayerful, Jesus-centered way of reading the Bible—not as a rulebook, textbook, or self-help guide, but as a sacred space where the Author meets the reader and forms us into people of God’s Kingdom.


If you’ve ever felt disconnected, confused, or intimidated by Scripture, this conversation will help you rediscover the Bible as a means of grace, communion, and transformation.


Key Scriptures: Matthew 5:17–19, Mark 12:24, Psalm 119, Luke 24

Topics: Bible study, spiritual formation, discipleship, trusting Scripture, Jesus and the Bible, Christian growth

Ep. 53 - #Faith4TodayPodcast — God who is Love | Advent

At the heart of Christmas is not a present, but a presence.


In this episode of the Faith for Today Podcast, we reflect on the Advent theme of Love—not as an abstract idea or fleeting emotion, but as the very nature of God Himself. Scripture declares that God is love, and in Jesus Christ, that love took on flesh and stepped into our broken world (1 John 4; Colossians 1).


This episode explores how:

• God’s love is not merely shown, but embodied in Jesus

• Christ confronts sin not to condemn, but to rescue, forgive, and heal

• Sin enslaves, infects, and entangles—requiring deliverance, forgiveness, and restoration

• Jesus provides all three by giving Himself for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5)


We also look at how receiving God’s love reshapes how we live. Biblical love always moves outward—it gives, sacrifices, and blesses. That stands in sharp contrast to greed, envy, and materialism, which hoard and demand. Christmas reminds us that love is not measured by what we spend, but by what we give of ourselves.


Drawing from Ephesians 3, Ephesians 5, and 2 Corinthians 9, this conversation reframes generosity—not as obligation or pressure, but as worship flowing from gratitude. We give not to earn God’s love, but because we have already received it.


As we journey through Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love this Advent season, this episode invites you to open your hands again—to receive God’s love fully and reflect it generously to a world in need.

🎧 Episode 52 — #Faith4TodayPodcast - The God who Gives Joy



Joy That Strengthens: Worship, Generosity, and the Way of the Magi


When was the last time you laughed so hard it surprised you? Or woke up light-hearted—not because life was easy, but because something inside you felt anchored?


In Episode 52 of the #Faith4TodayPodcast, we explore the biblical meaning of joy—not as fleeting happiness, but as inner resilience that strengthens the soul. Scripture tells us “the joy of the Lord is our strength,” because joy stabilizes us under pressure and keeps our hearts open to God and others.


Through the Christmas story in Matthew 2, we contrast two responses to Jesus:

• The Magi, who rejoice exceedingly and respond with worship and radical generosity

• Herod, who responds with fear, control, and self-preservation


That difference reveals everything. Joy grows where worship and generosity flow freely. Fear grows where control and greed take root.


This episode connects Scripture, theology, and everyday life to show why:

• Joy is essential to human flourishing—not optional

• Worship realigns our hearts with God’s reign

• Generosity refreshes the soul and completes joy

• Greed, envy, and self-protection always leave us empty

• True joy is found not in getting more, but in receiving Christ


You’ll also hear biblical insights from Isaiah 52 & 61, Romans 14–15, Galatians 5, Psalm 126, and Isaiah 55, along with thoughtful responses to questions about generosity, community wounds, fellowship, and tithing in the New Testament.


This isn’t prosperity teaching. It’s an invitation into participation—living outward with open hands, aligned with the heart of God.


If you’re tired, anxious, guarded, or spiritually numb, this episode will remind you:

Joy is not something you chase—it’s something you cultivate by choosing the way of Jesus.

Episode 51 // Advent - The God who Gives Peace (audio/video)

In this episode, we explore what Scripture truly means when it promises peace—and why biblical peace (shalom) is far more than the absence of conflict. From Luke 2 and Isaiah 9:6, we discover that Jesus is not just a bringer of calm, but the Prince of Peace who restores what sin has fractured. As Ephesians 2 reveals, Jesus Himself is our peace, tearing down walls of division and reconciling us to God and to one another.


Through the story of Simeon in Luke 2, we learn that peace is formed through devoted attention. While many missed the Messiah because they were consumed with religion, power, productivity, or politics, Simeon recognized Jesus because his heart was fixed on God’s promises. Jesus echoes this truth in Matthew 6—our anxiety grows when our attention is trained on money, fear, scarcity, and control, but peace grows when our focus is fixed on God’s Kingdom. Even neuroscience confirms what Scripture has always taught: what we repeatedly attend to trains our inner world.


This episode also confronts how greed increases anxiety by rewiring the brain for fear, hypervigilance, and scarcity, while generosity, gratitude, and trust retrain the nervous system for peace. You’ll learn a practical 5-step Scripture and neuroscience-based pathway to retrain your attention for peace, break the grip of worry, and restore trust in God’s provision.


We also dive into:

The promise of peace from Micah 5 and Ephesians 2  

How greed breeds conflict and division  

Why worry feels “acceptable” but quietly erodes faith  

How gratitude, stillness, fasting, and generosity cultivate peace  

How morning routines, spiritual practices, and daily focus shape our anxiety or our peace  

How John 14:27 reframes what it means to receive the peace of Christ  


If you are battling anxiety, financial pressure, rushing, unrealistic expectations, or mental overload, this message will help you reset your focus, retrain your mind, and return to the God who gives peace.

The God who gives Hope // Episode 50 // #Faith4TodayPodcast

In a world desperate for hope, many turn to possessions, control, and security to ease their fears—but only one true hope can satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart: the hope found in Jesus Christ. In this episode of the Faith4Today Podcast, we explore how biblical hope is not wishful thinking, but confident trust in a faithful, unchanging God who keeps His promises.


We unpack how greed steals hope by creating a cycle of fear, insecurity, and misplaced trust. Greed turns good gifts into false saviors, replacing dependence on God with dependence on things that can never love us back. Scripture warns us that the worries of this world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke out spiritual life, leaving us unfruitful and restless. Pride and greed feed one another, pulling our hearts away from humility, surrender, and true freedom.


This message also reveals the antidote: drawing near to God, submitting our lives again to His care, and practicing spiritual resistance through obedience, generosity, humility, and trust. Hope is restored when we reconnect with the Giver rather than the gifts, when we stop striving for control and start abiding in Christ.


If you’ve ever felt your hope slipping under the weight of fear, loss, pressure, or materialism, this episode will help you realign your heart with the only source of lasting security—Jesus.


Topics include:

Biblical hope and trust in God  

How greed robs hope and distorts our desires  

Pride, unbelief, and spiritual resistance  

Abiding in Christ  

The parable of the sower  

Standing firm in faith during suffering  

Restoring hope through surrender and trust

Full Circle Moments — When Jesus Restores What You Thought Was Lost | #Faith4TodayPodcast

n John 21, Jesus brings His disciples—and us—into a powerful full-circle moment. Galilee wasn’t just scenery; it was home base, the place of calling and first love. And it’s here that the resurrected Jesus meets them again, cooking breakfast on the shore, carrying scars yet fully alive. In this episode, we explore how Jesus uses familiar places to renew our identity, restore our calling, and remind us who we really are.


We’ll look at why Peter drifted back to his old identity, how Jesus redeems painful memories instead of avoiding them, and why your God-given wiring always points you back to your purpose. Plus, we unpack what it means to “Feed My sheep,” how spiritual gifts nourish the body of Christ, and why your deepest needs—safety, belonging, purpose, love—are meant to be met in community.


If you’ve ever felt stuck, disappointed, or unsure of your next step, this conversation will help you see the moments where Jesus is rewriting the stories you thought were over.


Topics:

• John 21 explained

• Full Circle Moments with Jesus

• Peter’s restoration

• Identity, calling, and purpose

• Spiritual gifts and the body of Christ

• Healing memory & redeeming regret

• New creation and resurrection hope

Episode 48 — The Grave Robber | John 20 | #Faith4TodayPodcast

Episode 48 — The Grave Robber | John 20 | #Faith4TodayPodcast


In John 20, we witness Jesus as the ultimate Grave Robber — not stealing from death, but stripping death of its power. From the darkness of the early morning to the personal encounter with Mary, John shows us a new creation dawning. Jesus rests on the seventh day and rises on the first, echoing Genesis. Darkness doesn’t win. Light breaks in.


When Mary looks into the tomb expecting desolation, she finds resurrection. The hard place becomes a holy place — the stone slab like the mercy seat, flanked by two heavenly beings, pointing to the true Lamb of God whose blood establishes a new covenant. What felt like the end becomes the beginning of life.


Three Key Observations from John 20:


1. The Darkness of Night

In the moments when we can’t see clearly — when tears blur our vision like Mary — Jesus meets us through community, connection, and resurrection hope. You aren’t meant to carry the night alone.


2. Inconceivable… Until You See It

Mary mistakes Him for a gardener. Peter sees evidence he can’t interpret. Thomas needs to touch the scars. Resurrection often doesn’t fit our mental categories until Jesus meets us personally. He restores us through presence, not distance.


3. “Who Is It You Seek?”

In every major moment across John’s Gospel, Jesus asks a woman this question — at the wedding, the well, the courtroom, the cross, and now the empty tomb. John is showing us the renewal of creation, covenant, identity, and belonging. We often seek safety, significance, or success — and end up crushed. Jesus brings peace by breathing His Spirit into our fractured places.


Bonus Insights Included in This Episode:

• How the ark of the covenant imagery appears inside the tomb

• Why scars are not signs of shame but proof of healing

• How Jesus turns the hard places into holy places

• Why isolation steals encounters (Thomas) while presence restores faith

• What Jesus meant by “Don’t cling to Me”

• Why the resurrection is about union, not just survival

• How the breath of Jesus fulfills Genesis 2 and Ezekiel 37

• The difference between clinging and communing, fear and faithfulness

• Why starting your week on Sunday reorders your spiritual life


Listener Questions We Tackle:

• Did Thomas regret isolating himself from the disciples?

• Why do believers hesitate to speak truth to each other in dark moments?

• Why does John mention Thomas “the twin”?

• Why couldn’t Mary cling to Jesus?

• How do we recognize when we’re chasing things that can’t resurrect us?

• What’s the one practice every believer should do this week to stay centered on Jesus?


Key Takeaway:


The risen Christ doesn’t just bring hope — He breathes life into the crushed, confused, and conflicted places of our hearts. In the hands of the Grave Robber, even what looks dead in you can rise again.

The Innocent King for the Guilty Rebel | John 18:38–19:19 | #Faith4TodayPodcast

In John 18:38–19:19, the world watches as the innocent King is traded for a guilty rebel. Jesus — the sinless Son of the Father — stands before Pilate, falsely accused, while Barabbas, a violent revolutionary, awaits his punishment. Yet the crowd cries for Barabbas to go free and for Jesus to be crucified.


It’s more than political drama; it’s a divine exchange. The true Son of the Father takes the place of the rebellious son. The Lamb of God becomes our substitute — the righteous for the unrighteous — so we could be brought to God (1 Peter 3:18).


From the blood and water that flowed, to His words “It is finished,” every detail declares both His humanity and His divinity. The One who healed on the Sabbath now rests in the tomb — completing the final act of redemption so that we could find true rest in Him.


📖 In this episode, Pastor Matthew Hunt explores:

• The divine exchange: Jesus for Barabbas — the beloved Son for the estranged sons and daughters

• How the cross fulfills the Passover promise — freedom through the Lamb’s sacrifice

• The union of divine and human nature in Christ — He thirsted, yet gave up His spirit

• The power of hyssop, wine, and the cleansing of blood (Psalm 51, Exodus 12)

• Why Jesus’ surrender was not weakness but voluntary obedience

• What it means to truly rest in the presence of God


💬 Plus listener questions:

• Was Pilate trapped between politics and conviction?

• How is healing on the Sabbath a picture of true rest and renewal?


🔥 “The cross wasn’t the end of His suffering — it was the beginning of our freedom.”

🎙️ Episode 43 — The Story of Reversals (John 18) | #Faith4TodayPodcast

🎙️ Episode 43 — The Story of Reversals (John 18) | #Faith4TodayPodcast


In this powerful episode, we step into John 18, where everything seems upside down — betrayal, denial, injustice — yet God’s plan is unfolding perfectly.

In the garden where humanity first fell, Jesus begins the greatest reversal in history. Adam disobeyed and grasped for control; Jesus obeyed and surrendered in trust. When He says, “I am He,” even His captors fall backward — a glimpse of divine authority cloaked in humility.


From the Garden to the courtroom, every scene reveals a deeper truth: Jesus obeys where Adam fell, stands where Peter falters, and reigns where earthly power collapses. This isn’t defeat — it’s divine submission. Through surrender, Jesus reverses the curse and invites us to live in the freedom of His truth.


📖 In this episode, Pastor Matthew Hunt explores:

• The Garden as a place of reversal — from rebellion to redemption

• How identity leads to purpose (Jesus said “I am He” with conviction, not convenience)

• Why feelings are real, but not in charge — conviction anchors us when emotion can’t

• Peter’s denial and Jesus’ courage — how light exposes the shadows in our lives

• The difference between living by pressure or purpose, pleasure or faithfulness


💡 Bonus Insights:

• How to build your life on conviction, not comfort

• Why obedience and faithfulness still matter in a culture of convenience

• How Jesus’ surrender models mature discipleship

• The freedom found in divine order — living right-side up in an upside-down world


🔥 “You can’t live accidentally and fulfill destiny.”

Jesus shows us that surrender isn’t weakness — it’s the pathway to power.

🎙️ EP45 – “The Life of Prayer: Communion Over Convenience” (John 17)

What does Jesus’ prayer in John 17 reveal about the life God designed you to live?

This week, Pastor Matthew Hunt takes us inside the final recorded prayer of Jesus—where He opens His heart to the Father and shows us that prayer isn’t performance; it’s participation in divine relationship.


In a culture addicted to noise, comfort, and hurry, Jesus models a different way. He withdrew from the crowd to commune with the Father—and calls us to do the same. Prayer is not just a list of requests; it’s alignment, conversation, and intimacy. It reorders our loves, purifies our motives, and restores spiritual leadership in the home, the church, and the world.


🔥 In this episode you’ll learn:

• The difference between scripted, personal, and communing prayer

• Why Jesus’ prayer reveals that consecration is greater than convenience

• How prayer moves you from distraction → surrender → communion

• The power of intercession—standing in the gap for others with love

• Why verbal, honest prayer renews your mind and releases God’s life

• How to fight the good fight of faith through Spirit-empowered prayer


📖 Scriptures: John 17 | Hebrews 7:25 | Romans 8:27 | 1 Timothy 6:12 | Revelation 3:20


💡 Key takeaway:

The most powerful prayer is the one you actually pray.

Set aside the noise. Pick a place. Open your mouth. God’s already waiting.

#Faith4TodayPodcast // EP44 – A Farewell Gift (John 16)


When Jesus said He was leaving, He didn’t leave us alone—He promised the Helper, the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, Pastor Matthew Hunt unpacks John 16 and the power of the Spirit who convicts, comforts, and connects us back to Jesus. The Spirit isn’t a vibe or a feeling—He’s a person, fully God, sent to lead us into truth and freedom.


You’ll discover how the Spirit brings healing where sin infected, joy where shame isolated, and clarity where confusion ruled.

Learn the difference between conviction and condemnation, how to recognize the Spirit’s voice in everyday life, and why abiding in Him keeps your soul alive and fruitful.


🔥 In this episode:

• How the Holy Spirit frees us from sin, shame, and Satan’s lies

• What conviction really means (and why it’s an act of love)

• The danger of a “septic soul” — bitterness, pride, lust, deception, apathy, and greed

• Practical ways to tune your heart to the Spirit’s voice

• Why Jesus called the Spirit “the Helper” and “the Spirit of Truth”


💬 Key takeaway:

The Holy Spirit doesn’t just make you feel God’s presence—He empowers you to live it.

He’s not just the power of God; He’s the presence of God, alive in you today.

🌿 Episode 43 — The Vine, The Branches, and the Friend of God (John 15)

🌿 Episode 43 — The Vine, The Branches, and the Friend of God (John 15)

Jesus' Fond Farewell, part 2...

Imagine standing on a sunlit Judean hillside, vines stretching across the terraces as a farmer—knife in hand—walks among them, pruning and singing.

That’s the image Jesus used when He said, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.”


In this episode, Pastor Matthew Hunt takes you deep into John 15, exploring what it really means to abide in Christ and live a life that bears lasting fruit. You’ll discover that pruning isn’t punishment—it’s love in action. God removes what hinders your growth so His life can flow freely through you.


From the ancient process of vineyard cultivation to the covenant meaning behind Jesus’ words, this episode brings Scripture to life with historical insight, spiritual depth, and real-world application.


🔍 You’ll learn:

• Why God’s delays are not His denials — and how waiting seasons build deep roots.

• The difference between pruning and spiritual attack (and how to pray in both).

• What it means to abide — to live aligned with Jesus’ love, commands, and kingdom.

• How limits and boundaries actually produce freedom and fruitfulness.

• Why Jesus calls us friends, not slaves — and how loyalty and love define that friendship.


💡 Key takeaway:

Fruitfulness doesn’t come from striving — it comes from staying connected to the Vine.

When you remain in Jesus, His life flows through you, and His joy becomes yours.


📖 Featuring insights from:

John 15, 1 John 2, Galatians 5, Ephesians 5, Psalm 80, and the cultural backdrop of ancient vineyards.

🎧 Episode 42 — Jesus’ Fond Farewell, Pt. 1 (John 14)

In John 14, Jesus begins what might be called His fond farewell—not a goodbye of distance, but a promise of presence. On the eve of His death, He speaks words of comfort, covenant, and peace: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.”


In this episode, we step into that upper-room moment where love, loyalty, and hope converge. Jesus reveals Himself as the Bridegroom preparing a place for His people, gives the Holy Spirit as our Advocate and Helper, and leaves behind His parting gift—peace the world cannot give.


We’ll explore:

• What Jesus means when He says He’s preparing a place for us

• How the Holy Spirit anchors us in truth and empowers us for “greater works”

• The difference between living as children of God vs. living with an orphan mindset

• Why grace and peace are more than greetings—they’re the heartbeat of the new covenant


This isn’t just theology—it’s invitation. Jesus isn’t leaving; He’s drawing closer than ever.


🎙️ Listen now to rediscover the peace, promise, and presence that Jesus still speaks into every troubled heart.

Episode 41 — Humble Service (John 13) - #Faith4TodayPodcast

Episode 41 — Humble Service (John 13)


In John 13, Jesus does the unthinkable—He takes a towel, kneels down, and washes His disciples’ feet. In their world, masters never served like this. But Jesus flips the script: the greatest becomes the servant, showing us that leadership in His kingdom is defined by humility and love.


This episode explores the cultural shock, the spiritual symbolism of cleansing, and what it means for us today to live out humble service. From daily cleansing to servant leadership, Jesus calls us to let His love wash us, and then pour that love out for others.


We’ll also tackle listener questions about humility, serving too much, and how to fight pride without falling into a checklist mindset.


🙌 Humility connects where pride divides. And when we serve one another, we point back to the only One worthy of devotion.

🎧 Episode 40 — Costly Worship - #Faith4TodayPodcast

🎧 Episode 40 — Costly Worship


In John 12, Mary does something shocking: she kneels at Jesus’ feet and pours out a year’s worth of costly perfume. In a culture where feet were considered dirty and dishonorable, her act was extravagant, humble, and prophetic. She wasn’t worried about appearances or public opinion—she was caught up in devotion to the One who was about to pour out His life for her.


This episode explores what makes worship truly costly:

✨ Mary’s humility vs. Judas’ pride

✨ Why real worship is always sacrificial

✨ How honor and shame culture flips upside down in God’s kingdom

✨ Worship as a prophetic act that points to Jesus alone

✨ How pride sneaks in and pollutes even our best intentions

✨ The fragrance of worship—what it means to walk away “smelling like Jesus”


We’ll also talk about the connection between worship and Passover, the temple imagery of fragrance filling the room, and what it means for us today to present our lives as “living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1).


Plus: listener questions on personality and worship, pride’s red flags, and how humility shapes real devotion.

Episode 39 - #Faith4TodayPodcast - John 11 Explained | I Am the Resurrection and the Life

In John 11, Jesus makes one of His boldest declarations: “I am the resurrection and the life.” This is the fifth I AM statement and the seventh sign in John’s Gospel, where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. Here we see not only His power over death, but also His compassion as He enters grief, weeps with His friends, and then calls Lazarus out of the tomb.


In this teaching, we’ll unpack:

✨ Why Jesus is both the resurrection AND the life

✨ The glory of God revealed through suffering and loss

✨ How relationships (with Martha, Mary, Lazarus, and the disciples) shape our faith

✨ Resurrection hope—past, present, and future

✨ What it means to be unwrapped and set free into real life with Jesus

Episode 38 - The Good Shepherd: Hearing His Voice in a Noisy World (John 10)

The Good Shepherd: Hearing His Voice in a Noisy World (John 10)


Episode Description:

In John 10, Jesus calls Himself the Good Shepherd—the one who knows His sheep by name, cares for them, and lays down His life so they can have real, abundant life. Unlike thieves, robbers, or hired hands who use, abandon, or harm the flock, Jesus protects, restores, and leads His people with gentleness and strength.


In this episode, we explore:

• What makes Jesus the true Good Shepherd

• How Ezekiel 34 points us forward to Christ

• The difference between harmful shepherding and Christ’s care

• Why tone matters in leadership and relationships

• How to recognize God’s voice in the noise of life

• What it means to belong to one flock, secure in Christ’s hand


The Good Shepherd doesn’t just guide us—He gave His life for us. The question is: are we listening for His voice, and are we willing to follow?

Light for Sight - #Faith4TodayPodcast, Ep 37

Episode Recap: Eyes Wide Open (John 9)


In this episode, we walk through John 9, where Jesus heals a man born blind and shows us what it truly means to see. Physical healing is powerful, but Jesus points to something deeper—spiritual sight that restores our hearts and brings God glory.


We wrestle with tough questions: Why doesn’t healing always happen? How do we respond when God’s purposes look different than our comfort? And how do we recognize our own spiritual blindness—when pride, unbelief, or wounds keep us stumbling in the dark?


Through the story of the blind man’s obedience, we discover that healing happens when an encounter with Jesus meets trusting steps of faith. Jesus still sees us, still pursues us, and still opens our eyes—whether through healing, perseverance, or worship in the waiting.


Key themes:


  • Jesus is the Light of the world, opening both physical and spiritual eyes.

  • Spiritual blindness can look like denial, excuses, or victimhood.

  • Healing isn’t a formula—it’s about God’s glory, not just our comfort.

  • Wholeness comes when we respond in obedience and worship.

  • Jesus sees you, pursues you, and calls you to walk in the light.

John 8: Jesus the Liberating Light — Freedom from Sin & Shame

Episode Title:

John 8: Jesus the Liberating Light — Freedom from Sin & Shame


Episode Description:

This week, we turn to John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery. The crowd came ready to condemn—but Jesus, with compassion and truth, revealed Himself as the Light of the World, the One who sets us free from sin and shame.


In this episode, we discuss:

• How Jesus breaks the shame cycle and restores dignity

• The difference between conviction and condemnation

• What true forgiveness looks like in our relationships

• Why unbelief is at the root of all sin

• How confession, community, and God’s Word lead us into freedom


The gospel reminds us: Jesus doesn’t minimize our sin, nor does He let it define us. Instead, He bears our condemnation and offers us freedom, hope, and life in Him.


Listen in as we walk through what it means to bring sin into the light, release shame, and embody the mercy and justice of Christ in our world today.

Episode 35 – Bread and Water for Life

Episode 35 – Bread and Water for Life

After feeding the five thousand, Jesus confronted the crowds who followed Him—not because they truly wanted Him, but because they wanted more bread, more signs, more temporary satisfaction. In John 6:22–40, Jesus shifts their focus from fleeting desires to what really lasts: Himself, the Bread of Life and Living Water. Only He can satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls.


In this episode, we talk about the difference between eternal and temporary pursuits, the hunger rising in younger generations for something bigger than consumerism or shallow entertainment, and how Communion points us to Christ’s presence and provision. We also explore practical questions: How do we distinguish between seeking miracles and seeking God Himself? How do signs point us to significance? And how can we actually feast daily on the Bread of Life?


Come hungry—and leave filled. In Christ, we find forgiveness, restoration, and life that never fades, spoils, or ends.
