Season 2, Episode 2: I AM Bread and True Vine
Scripture: John 6:26-70 and 15:1-8
Description: As we dive into two images that are so central to John White’s faith, we hope that you will find a way of understanding community and connection to Christ.
Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study:
- How does knowing the context of a teaching (like the feeding of the 5,000 before “I am the bread of life”) change the way you understand it?
- Where do you see God meeting both physical and spiritual needs in your life or community?
- Why do you think we often default to “doing” instead of “believing”? What does it look like to truly trust instead of striving?
- What memories or experiences shape your understanding of communion or “bread” in your faith journey?
- What practices help you stay connected (abide) in Christ? What tends to pull you away?
- What might God be “pruning” in your life right now? How do you discern what to release and what to keep?
- What does it look like for a church or group to truly carry one another’s burdens? Where do you see this happening—or missing?
