More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."

I know Luke isn't John, but Jesus is still Jesus and Luke 15 contains one of Jesus' most well-known stories. We're living with homesick hearts. We can't quite shake this sense that something's missing. But when Jesus walked out of t...

I think so often, when am I wrestling with doubt, I start asking for a sign. Have you ever done that? John said that he recorded a series of signs in his gospel, so that we would believe. Seven signs were given so that we would believe. But it'...

Yes it appears to be a bit of a regression from John 17 back to John 13. But think of it as a recap to our look at John 14-17. John 13 is where it all started. The Lord's supper, last supper before the cross. If you listen to these as they drop...
