Ever had a moment where following Jesus felt... uncomfortable? In this raw and honest episode, Drew and Delanie dive into one of Scripture's most challenging passages—John 6:52-71, where Jesus tells his followers they must "eat his flesh and drink his blood."

Yeah, it's as weird as it sounds. And the crowd thought so too.

Discover why even Jesus' closest disciples struggled with this teaching, why some walked away, and what Peter's desperate response teaches us about faith when nothing makes sense. Drew and Delaney explore:

• Why God's promises don't depend on our performance (Abraham's covenant will blow your mind)

• The difference between living by the Spirit vs. living by the flesh • What to do when everyone else is leaving Jesus—and you're tempted to follow

• Why Peter stayed even when he was confused and angry • The real difference between Peter's denial and Judas' betrayal

This isn't your typical "feel-good" sermon recap. It's honest about doubt, confusion, and those seasons when you're mad at God but staying anyway—because where else would you go?

Perfect for anyone wrestling with hard teachings, questioning their faith, or wondering if it's okay to not have all the answers.

More Than Just a Meal: When Jesus Feeds Your Soul

Ever notice how the crowds followed Jesus for the free lunch but missed the eternal feast He was offering? 🍞

In this episode of the Sonshine Boys, hosts welcome their first-ever "Sonshine Girl," middle school youth leader Delanie Harker, for a fresh perspective on one of the Bible's most famous miracles. They dive deep into John chapter 6, unpacking the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water—but this isn't your typical Sunday school retelling.

What you'll discover:

• Why a little boy's lunch became the catalyst for an impossible miracle
• The real reason the crowd wanted to make Jesus king (hint: it wasn't just about the bread)
• Peter's water-walking moment that Matthew includes but John conveniently leaves out (a little apostolic rivalry, perhaps?)
• How we're all guilty of seeking Jesus for the "burgers" instead of the Bread of Life

This conversation gets real about our tendency to chase physical comfort while missing spiritual transformation. With honest reflections, a bit of humor, and solid biblical insight, this episode challenges us to examine what we're really seeking when we come to Jesus.

Perfect for: Anyone who's ever felt spiritually hungry, wondered why their faith feels shallow, or needs a reminder that Jesus meets us exactly where we are—even when we're being a little dense.

"Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life." - John 6:27
