The Three Shortcuts

from Between Bread and Stone · host Stephen R. Brewer, PsyD

Episode 76 is about three shortcuts offered to Jesus in the wilderness: provision without dependence, protection turned into a guarantee, and dominion without faithfulness. From rapture theology to the phrase “God will provide,” this episode asks what happens when faith becomes a mechanism for avoiding participation. Christian hope does not make human agency disappear. Providence still has hands. You are welcome here. Protected Speech | Views My Own Between Bread and Stone © 2026 Stephen Brewer. All rights reserved.
