Summary

Dear St Andrews Family, Over the years many of you have asked how I got this superhero physique. The answer is simple: It’s all in what I eat. Did you know that in 3 years Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson eats a ton of fish. Literally, a ton of fish. I have a similar diet. In three years, I literally eat a ton of bread. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Ritz crackers, chapatis, pepperoni pizza, E.L. Fudge cookies . . . I eat a ton of bread. Now you know my secret. This week in Matthew 6:11, Jesus tells us we are to ask God for bread. But this is so much more than asking for God to care for our physical needs. This prayer has a context that might just change everything. It hasn’t changed the way I eat bread, but it has changed the way I pray. I hope you will think this through with me.

Episode Description

Dear St Andrews Family,

Over the years many of you have asked how I got this superhero physique. The answer is simple: It’s all in what I eat. Did you know that in 3 years Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson eats a ton of fish. Literally, a ton of fish. I have a similar diet. In three years, I literally eat a ton of bread. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Ritz crackers, chapatis, pepperoni pizza, E.L. Fudge cookies . . . I eat a ton of bread. Now you know my secret.

This week in Matthew 6:11, Jesus tells us we are to ask God for bread. But this is so much more than asking for God to care for our physical needs. This prayer has a context that might just change everything. It hasn’t changed the way I eat bread, but it has changed the way I pray. I hope you will think this through with me.
