Today, we continue our weary traveler series. Listen in as I chat about a few layers of breads symbolism in the Bible, an essential sustenance for both the body and soul.

Our communion bread is more than a ritual; its a tangible symbol of our collective identity in Jesus, providing spiritual sustenance that fosters growth within our community of believers.
