Episode 21: Daily Bread

In this episode of Walking Close, Living Changed, Brian explores one of the simplest yet most powerful phrases in the Lord's Prayer: "Give us this day our daily bread." He explains how Jesus emphasized daily dependence on God, daily trust, and daily provision. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus, the story of manna in the wilderness, Daniel's daily devotion, and Hebrews 4, Brian encourages listeners to stop carrying yesterday's regrets and tomorrow's worries and instead learn to trust God one day at a time.
