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."

Lent Series #8 -- 2 Corinthians 4:1-16 -- Don't lose heart!
The apostle Paul knew a bit about causing suffering and going through suffering, and 2 Corinthians 4 contains one of his most encouraging words. He begins and ends with the words, "So don't lose heart." I know, in those times when it feels like we're fighting for every breath; looking at the darkness around us, maybe even in us, we might wonder is there any good news? Should I even keep going? Paul says, Yes. Don't lose heart." Because listen something is happening deeper than you can imagine. God's at work shaping a glory in you that will cause all of creation to stand and cheer. He's actually drawing closer than you can fully experience. In the battle, in the mess, in the hard, that's when you start to see his fingerprints all over your life.
So don't lose heart! Don't quit. Don't give up. The best is yet to come. Don't lose heart!
