- Religion & Spirituality
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."

Acts Series #45 -- Acts 16:16-40 (part 2) -- "Who is the jailer God's putting in your life?"
Send us a Text Message.I've always thought this story of Paul and Silas was a bit strange. This woman has been following them for days, telling people that they are God's men. They are legit; here to save you. But then one day, Paul gets annoyed and delivers her from demonic bondage and economic slavery and as a result they get beaten severely and thrown in jail; where we find them praying and worshipping at midnight. And then a miraculous opportunity for escape comes, but in...

Acts Series #44 -- Acts 16:16-40 -- "Will I finish my race with joy?"
Send us a Text Message.Every time we come to the funeral of someone who loved Jesus...it should make us long just a bit more for home. Because no matter how great or how hard your life is at this moment, the best is yet to come. And I think that’s how the people on Jesus-team in the early church; I think that’s how they lived their lives. They lived like life was all about Jesus and dying brought the most incredible gain, so we’re not going to fear dying. We’re going all-out in this life...

Acts Series #43 -- Acts 16:1-15 -- "What if when God says "all," He means it?"
Send us a Text Message.In Acts 16, we get introduced to two people Lydia and Timothy, both followers of Jesus. We know more about Timothy than we do Lydia, but it's still good to hear their stories. Their story is part of God's story and so is yours. Before we leave this episode we'll focus on bit more on Timothy's part in the story of God and how Paul mentored him.And we will conclude with the mission of God that Paul helped Timothy fulfill...a mission of prayer and the Word and doing good i...

Acts Series #42 -- Acts 15:32-41 -- Calling out extraordinary potential from ordinary people...
Send us a Text Message.At the end of Acts 15, we are introduced to John Mark. We know him best as the writer of the gospel of Mark. But I think it's safe to say, that without Barnabas we probably would have missed Mark. But instead of missing Mark, we gained an amazing gospel with a vital perspective on Jesus and His team. Barnabas was able to look past Mark's failure and see his future.So who is your Barnabas? And who is your Mark?

Acts Series #41 -- Acts 15:1-29 -- How do you know if they are Christans?
Send us a Text Message.This episode is about what identifies us as followers of Jesus. What are the non-negotiables? Some of us grew up in a culture that emphasized what some call boundary marker religion. There were certain things that you did and did not do that were very important. Those things marked you as being in the group or not in the group. In my group, when I was a kid, you did not dance, play cards, go to movies, or wear long hair. You certainly did not get tattoos. Do those thing...

Acts Series #40 -- Acts 14:1-28 -- Can anything good come from everything hard?
Send us a Text Message.In Acts 14 is a statement that I love to hate and wish I could ignore. "We must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God." Through many hardships and much suffering, we enter the Kingdom of God. You have got to love that right? We get lots of joy and lots of persecution and then don’t care too deeply about what others think of you. We get the Word of God multiplying and people’s lives being transformed and miraculous answers to prayer and moments of genui...
