This week’s episode is a reading from the preface of Kendall Vanderslice’ book By Bread Alone: a baker’s reflections on hunger, longing, and the goodness of God. We hope you enjoy this small taste of what’s to come.

After you've listened to the episode, use these discussion questions to reflect further. Consider discussing them around the table with a friend or two.

What has your relationship to bread been like throughout your life? Were you taught that it's bad? Or was it the base of your diet? Do you enjoy lots of different kinds of bread, or do you stick to the sandwich loaf on the grocery store shelf?

Have you ever baked bread? If so, did you experience any kind of spiritual value in the process?
