Episode 5: The Bread We’re Actually Hungry For

Sometimes what we think we need most isn’t what truly gives life.

After feeding five thousand people with a few loaves of bread, Jesus becomes wildly popular. The crowd goes looking for him the next day because they are hungry for more.

But instead of repeating the miracle, Jesus gives them something far more challenging.

In John 6, Jesus says, “I am the bread of life.” Not bread that fills your stomach for a few hours—but bread that sustains your very life. What follows is one of his most difficult teachings, centered not on achievement or performance, but on dependence.

Why does the crowd push back? Why does this teaching cause people to grumble? And what does it mean for us to trust Jesus? Not just for what he can do, but for who he is?

This episode explores the difference between wanting a provider and surrendering to a king, and invites us to consider what we are actually hungry for.

Because sometimes what we think we need most isn’t what truly gives life.
