Do you ever feel faithful but completely worn out—like you’re following Jesus but running on empty? Christians today can also grow weary from service and feel discouraged by tragic events in the world—such as the recent death of Charlie Kirk, which reminds us how fragile life is and how deeply broken the world remains. You’re not the first to feel this way…

…After three days of teaching and healing in a desolate place, the crowd that followed Jesus was exhausted and hungry. The disciples, already weary themselves, doubted there was any way to feed thousands in the wilderness. Yet Jesus looked on the crowd with deep compassion, took seven loaves and a few fish, and provided more than enough—so much that there were seven baskets of leftovers.

In episode #71 the pastors will uncover what the feeding of the 4000 reveals about God’s heart for the weary, why the setting in Gentile territory matters, and how Jesus’ abundance goes far beyond human provision. Most of all, we’ll see that in our moments of fatigue and scarcity, Jesus is the One who notices, cares, and provides more than we could imagine.
