In this sixth week of the “Come and See” series, the podcast team reflects on key moments from Jesus’ final months of ministry, especially after the disciples begin to recognize Him as God. They explore Jesus’ teaching that He is the Bread of Life, His challenging call to full surrender, and the powerful moment at Caesarea Philippi where Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ. The team discusses identity, the cost of discipleship, the difference between being a consumer versus a committed follower, and what it really means to carry our cross. Personal stories of hardship, identity crisis, and faith bring real-world context to Jesus’ radical call.If you want to follow along with our daily scripture readings, Come and See devotional guides are available on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠.00:00–03:02 – 🎙 Intro & UpdatesThe hosts share life updates, including family stories, weddings, and upcoming surgery plans.03:02–04:59 – 🧎 Jesus as the Bread of LifeReflection on John 6: Jesus’ teaching shifts from accessible to challenging as He tells followers they must “eat His flesh.”04:59–06:08 – 😕 When the Teachings Get HardJesus intentionally narrows the crowd by intensifying His message; the team compares this to modern seeker-friendly church models.06:08–07:35 – 🌾 Separating Wheat from ChaffSpiritual refinement through difficulty: many walk away when following Jesus becomes costly.07:35–10:04 – 💪 The Cost of DiscipleshipDiscussion on effort, sacrifice, and dependence on the Holy Spirit rather than human strength to live the Christian life.10:04–12:22 – 🍞 True Satisfaction in ChristWhat it means to desire Jesus more than daily food—He alone is the source of lasting fulfillment.12:22–14:00 – ⚒️ Finding Identity Beyond VocationTestimonies on misplaced identity in jobs, and rediscovering value in being a follower of Christ.14:00–16:24 – 🪞 Living with a Christ-Centered IdentityThe importance of defining ourselves by our relationship with Jesus, not career or status.16:24–19:15 – 🌍 For God So Loved EveryoneReflection on the feeding of the 5,000 (Jews) and 4,000 (Gentiles) and what the disciples missed: Jesus’ mission is global.19:15–21:21 – ✝️ Mission Beyond the MiracleMiracles don’t always produce belief; Jesus refocuses the disciples on their mission to reach all people.21:21–24:19 – 🏔️ Caesarea Philippi – “Who Do You Say I Am?”Contextual background on this powerful location where Peter declares Jesus is the Christ amidst a backdrop of false gods.24:19–26:02 – 🚪 Gates of Hell Will Not PrevailJesus’ declaration takes place at a site literally known as “the gates of hell,” emphasizing the authority of His Church.26:02–29:14 – 🎒 Carrying Your Own CrossPowerful metaphor and personal story about what it means to carry the cross God gives you—not someone else’s.29:14–32:15 – 🧒 Parenting & Special Needs PerspectiveHow trials like parenting a special needs child shape faith and reveal God’s grace in the burdens we’re called to carry.32:15–34:14 – 🩺 Facing Loss & Suffering with HopeExample of a man with cancer who carried his burden in a way that gave hope to others.34:14–36:39 – ⚔️ Wake Up, You’re in a BattleThe Christian life is not a cruise ship but a battleship.
