In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Andrew and Ethan dive into one of the most well-known miracles in Scripture—Jesus feeding the 5,000—but show why this moment is so much more than a free lunch.
Through rich Old Testament connections (think Moses, manna, Passover, and Elisha) and careful attention to Jesus’ response to the crowd, the team unpacks the real message of the miracle: Jesus is the true Bread of Life, and He came not to set up a political kingdom, but to satisfy our deepest spiritual hunger.
🎙️ In this episode:
Why Jesus withdrew when they tried to make Him king
How John 6 echoes the Exodus story—including Passover, the mountain, and manna
Why 12 leftover baskets matter (hint: it’s about the 12 tribes)
The danger of wanting Jesus for His gifts—but not His Lordship
The difference between belief and submission
How this miracle ministers not just to the crowds—but to the disciples, too
📖 Text: John 6:1–15🎙️ Hosts: Ethan Callison, Andrew McPheron💡 Theme: Jesus doesn’t just give bread—He is the bread. The miracle points to a greater truth: Jesus alone satisfies, not just for a moment, but for eternity.
