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."

Thriving When Lions Roar #1 -- Daniel 1:1 -- Can I thrive in life-draining times?
Let me start this series on the book of Daniel by stating an obvious truth. We live in turbulent times. From the life of an individual to the culture of our own community to the headlines of our nation to the suffering experienced across our globe. We live in turbulent times. And yet in the midst of life-draining seasons, let me suggest that deep within every heart is a desire to thrive. Deep within every orphaned and refugee heart, every depressed and party-hard heart, every next-gen and retired heart, every fatherless and every family-healthy heart, there's a deep desire to thrive. We long for a life that goes beyond mere survival!
So this podcast series, on Daniel, is all about "Daring to Thrive.” Dare to thrive when lions roar and the flames threaten to consume you, and you're living in Babylon. Dare to thrive, because God is with you, even when the lions roar!
