In this gathering, we hear from Kent that what you hear shapes how you live — and not all urgency is from God. Kent unpacks the idea of "no bread" through several biblical moments: Israel grumbling in the wilderness, Jesus being tempted after 40 days of fasting, Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, and the disciples panicking in the boat.
The through-line is clear —
"Fear runs on perception, but boldness flows from conviction".
Kent challenges us to watch out for two leavens that quietly kill our boldness: the leaven of the Pharisees (religion and hypocrisy) and the leaven of Herod (worldliness and compromise).
We leave with this: when the shelves are empty, and the panic is loud, the righteous don't flee — they stand bold, because they're fed by a different bread entirely.
