Taking a cue from a hilarious (and slightly gross) true story involving a four-door GMC pickup truck and a half-eaten Quarter Pounder with Cheese </strong>🍔<strong>, we explore a powerful truth from Charles Spurgeon: *“Past experiences are doubtful food for Christians.”*</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Perhaps you had a \"mountaintop\"</strong>🏔️<strong> experience ten years ago. You remember when you were \"on fire\" </strong>❤️‍🔥<strong>. But just like that fossilized burger found under the seat, a memory of a meal</strong>🍛<strong> can’t provide nutrition for today.</strong></p><p><strong>In this episode, we discuss:</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>🚗<strong> The Silverado Time Capsule:What a half-eaten burger taught me about \"stale\" faith.</strong></p><p>🍔<strong> Doubtful Food: Why relying on old feelings and past \"wins\" leaves us spiritually starving.</strong></p><p>🩸<strong> The Blood that Speaks: A bottom-shelf look at Hebrews 12:24—how Jesus’ sacrifice covers our current</strong>❤️‍🔥<strong> mess, not just our past.</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>🍞<strong> The Bread of Life: Unpacking John 6:35 and the power of the words \"I AM.\"</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>🔄<strong> The \"Present Coming\": Practical ways to \"come to Jesus\" right now, in the middle of your busy day.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>🔑<strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>✝️<strong> Faith is a daily walk, not a historical event. You don't just need to know the \"Bread of Life\" exists; you need to sit down at the table and eat today.</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>☔️<strong>The \"Umbrella\" Effect: How to step under the covering of grace when the \"rain\" of guilt starts falling.</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>🥡<strong>Stop eating leftovers. Yesterday’s manna won't sustain you today’s burdens.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>📖<strong>Main Verse:\"I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.\"— John 6:35</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Don’t settle for a fossilized </strong>🦖<strong> memory of God. Join us for 9 minutes of fresh encouragement and learn how to find joy in a “present” relationship with Christ.</strong></p><p><strong>Go eat some </strong>🥖🍞<strong>fresh bread today! </strong>✨</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Subscribe to Jesus Company podcast now! </strong>📲❤️</p><p><strong> It's on all the podcast&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Tag us!🔗 Listen, subscribe, and leave a review to help others find Jesus&nbsp;</p><p>Company</p><p>Here are some helpful links</p><p><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-company/id1868153688\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jesus Company</a> on Apple Podcasts</p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/5TokdTEklxchHzrJ1N1nD7?si=I8YpsX1tR2usm1rEhvRN9w\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jesus Company</a> on Spotify</p><p><a href=\"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/c5bdd4e4-2550-4b41-a4f5-3ae7ed5b63fd/jesus-company\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jesus Comany </a>on Amazon Music</p><p><a href=\"https://www.deezer.com/show/4455867\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jesus Company</a> on Deezer</p><p><a href=\"https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-jesus-company-316780507/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">iHeart Jesus Company Podcast</a></p><p>🔗<a href=\"https://www.transformthiscity.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> transformthiscity.org</a></p><p>📱 @JesusCoOfficial on X | Search \"Jesus Company\" on your podcast app</p><p>📱<strong> Connect with Us:</strong></p><ul><li>💻 Website:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://shows.acast.com/jesus-company\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jesus Company</strong></a> is the home base for the podcast, and there are some additional links to podcast players that host the show!</li><li>💻 Website:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://podcast.gwot.rocks/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>gwot.rocks home page</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong></li><li>📺 YouTube: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQIWZVVGAvarNQiwpQonu0w\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\"Other Things with... \"</a>&nbsp;</li><li>❤️ Support the mission: <a href=\"https://www.transformthiscity.org/donate\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>DONATE</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;.
