Season 8, Episode 1

Written By Amy Baldwin

Lent is a season to slow down and be with Jesus. 

In this episode of Flourishing Disciples, Pastor Kirk Sexton is joined by Debby DeBernardi to begin a six-week journey through the “I AM” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. 

We start with Jesus’ declaration: 

“I am the Bread of Life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger.” (John 6:35) 

What does it really mean to believe this? Is faith simply agreeing with a statement — or is it knowing, accepting, and living as if it is true? 

Together we explore: 

  • The difference between blind belief and living faith 

  • The deeper meaning behind the Bread of Life 

  • Why Jesus offers Himself — not just what He can give 

  • How to feast on Christ daily 

We close with a guided Examen practice to help you experience Jesus as your sustaining Bread this week. 

Join us as we begin this Lenten journey toward a flourishing life in Christ.
