Welcome back to Nerd in the Word! I’m Gretchen, here with my fellow Bible nerd and dear friend Kristin—and today we’re tackling a short verse that packs a surprising punch:
Matthew 6:11 – “Give us this day our daily bread.”
Now, on the surface, it sounds simple. A basic prayer for food, right? But as we dug into it, we quickly realized—this verse is about way more than carbs.
It’s about dependence.
It’s about trust.
It’s about asking God to meet us right where we are—today—without trying to jump ahead to tomorrow.
In this episode, we explore how this part of the Lord’s Prayer invites us into a rhythm of receiving, rather than striving… and how daily bread isn’t just something for our stomachs, but for our souls.
So if you're feeling weary, hungry for more of God, or just curious about what this little verse really means—grab your Bible and join us.
Let’s learn together, laugh a little, and (of course) nerd out in the Word.
