In this episode, pastor David Profitt and therapist Sophie Murphy dive into one of the most iconic moments in Mark’s Gospel - the feeding of the 5,000 and the mysterious scene of Yeshua walking on the water. We’ll explore the rich symbolism of the wilderness, where Yeshua draws the crowds like a shepherd calling his sheep, echoing the ancient promises of Hosea. We focus on Yeshua's deep compassion and what that says to us today. We'll also reflect on the haunting end of the encounter when Mark declares, “they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.”

What does it mean to misunderstand the loaves? Why does Mark frame this as a critical moment in the disciples’ journey of faith? And how might this parable of the loaves challenge our own understanding of divine abundance, spiritual sight, and the nature of the Messiah? Join us as we unpack the layers of this miraculous scene.
