Episode 5: "Spiritual Hunger Pains"

What do you do when your soul feels empty? Just like physical hunger reminds us to eat, spiritual hunger is a sign that we need to spend time with God.

In this episode of Dishing With Disher, we talk about recognizing the signs of spiritual hunger and how to satisfy our souls with God’s Word, prayer, and worship.

In This Episode, We’ll Talk About:
🍞 How Jesus, during His 40-day fast, reminded us that we don’t live on bread alone.
📖 The signs of spiritual hunger and why feeling restless, drained, or distant from God is a signal to seek Him.
🙌 Practical ways to nourish your soul and stay spiritually strong.
💭 A personal reflection on a season of spiritual emptiness—and how reconnecting with God changed everything.

Key Bible Verse:
📖 Matthew 4:4 – "Jesus answered, ‘It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"

Episode Takeaway:
Spiritual hunger is a gift—it reminds us that we need God. If you’re feeling empty or restless, don’t ignore it. Jesus has a feast waiting for you; all you have to do is come to the table.

This Week’s Challenge:
Take five minutes today to nourish your soul. Open your Bible, pray, or simply sit in God’s presence. Let Him fill you.

Episode 4: "Feeding the 5,000" – God’s Provision When We Feel Empty 🐟🍞

Have you ever felt like you don’t have enough? Not enough strength, time, faith, or resources?

In this episode of Dishing With Disher, we’re looking at one of the most powerful stories of God’s provision—when Jesus fed over 5,000 people with just five loaves and two fish. If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, this episode is for you!

🍞 How Jesus turned a small offering into a miraculous feast.📖 Why the disciples saw lack, but Jesus saw abundance.🙌 What this story teaches us about trusting God’s provision in our daily lives.💭 A personal reflection on seeing God’s provision in unexpected ways.

📖 John 6:11-13 – "Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, He said to His disciples, ‘Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.’ So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten."

When you feel empty or like you have nothing left to give, bring what you do have to Jesus. He is a God of abundance, and in His hands, what seems small becomes more than enough.

Take a moment to reflect on an area in your life where you feel like you don’t have enough. Bring it to God in prayer and trust that He can multiply what you have.

What does it mean to have a seat at God’s table? Communion isn’t just a ritual—it’s an invitation into grace, forgiveness, and relationship with Jesus. In this episode of Dishing With Disher, we’re diving into the significance of The Lord’s Supper, why Jesus broke bread with His disciples, and what it means for us today.

🍷 How meals in the Bible weren’t just about food—they were about fellowship and grace.
📖 Why Jesus shared The Last Supper and what it teaches us about His sacrifice.
🙌 How Communion reminds us that God’s grace is for everyone—no matter our past.
💭 A personal reflection on how meals around the table can be sacred moments of connection.

📖 Luke 22:19-20 – “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’”

God’s table is a place of grace, not perfection. You are invited. You don’t have to clean yourself up first—Jesus already made the way for you.

Next time you sit down for a meal, pause and reflect on God’s grace. Whether it’s a simple snack or a big family dinner, use that moment to remember how Jesus invites us into relationship with Him.

Have you ever heard people rave about a dish, but you weren’t sure if you’d like it? Maybe a new type of cuisine or a weird flavor combo—something that seemed questionable until you actually tasted it yourself. That’s exactly how it works with God’s goodness. We can hear about Him all day, but until we experience Him personally, we won’t truly understand how good He is.

In this episode, we’re breaking down Psalm 34:8—“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” We’ll explore how God invites us to experience Him, not just know about Him.

🍽️ How trying new foods compares to stepping out in faith.
📖 What Psalm 34:8 teaches us about experiencing God for ourselves.
🙌 How skepticism, doubt, or fear can keep us from fully tasting God’s goodness.
💭 A personal story about encountering God while cooking—and how everyday moments can become sacred.

📖 Psalm 34:8 – “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”

God’s goodness isn’t just something to hear about—it’s something to experience. Are you staying on the sidelines, or are you stepping in and truly tasting what He has for you?

Take one step to personally experience God this week. Maybe it’s through prayer, worship, serving, or stepping out in faith in a way you haven’t before.

Episode 1: "Daily Bread" – What Jesus Meant When He Said, "I Am the Bread of Life" 🍞

What are you feeding your soul? Just like we need food every day to stay alive, we need Jesus to sustain us spiritually. In this first episode of Dishing With Disher, we’re breaking down John 6:35 and discovering how Jesus—the Bread of Life—satisfies our deepest hunger in ways nothing else can.

🍞 The significance of bread in biblical times and why Jesus used it as a powerful metaphor.
📖 What John 6:35 teaches us about spiritual nourishment and fulfillment.
🙌 How we sometimes fill our lives with spiritual junk food instead of God’s truth.
💭 A personal story about how God speaks through everyday moments—like cooking in the kitchen!

📖 John 6:35 – “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

We often seek fulfillment in the wrong places, but only Jesus can satisfy our spiritual hunger. The question is: Are you feeding your soul with God’s Word, or running on empty?

Take time each day to “taste and see” God’s goodness by spending intentional moments in Scripture, prayer, and worship.
