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 #9 -- Mark 4:1-20 -- Who wants a 100x return on life?
In Mark 4:1-20, Jesus is telling a story of growth and harvest. Actually it is a story of uncommon growth and harvest. In those days, maybe a 10 fold yield was common. Jesus goes all the way to a 100 fold yield. And then he turns his story into a parable about life. A story about letting God's Word take root in our hearts for a great life breakthrough. Because in the Kingdom of "something more" there is something more to you than you see. But here's the deal, it's not ultimately about seeing it. It's actually more about hearing it. In Mark 4, Jesus may be giving us the foundational quality of those who engage life and find a 100x return. They listen. They have ears to hear and hearts that pursue the words of Christ.
