Beyond the Gist

Episode 8: Better than Bread

- - - - - - - - - - -

What could be better than bread? In this episode of Beyond the Gist, we’ll look back at a time in history when God’s people were totally dependent upon his daily provision of bread during their days in the desert. We’ll see that, while bread is good, there’s something even better, something more necessary for our survival.
