In this special episode recorded on the road in the US, Jesse Schreck shares a powerful sermon from Mark 6 on Jesus feeding the 5,000. What begins as a much-needed rest for weary disciples turns into a beautiful display of Christ's compassion, divine power, and training of His followers.

Drawing from his own missionary experiences in Italy and the life of the late Kurt Jost, Jesse unpacks five soul-strengthening truths for faithful servants: the importance of rest and reflection, compassion for the lost, our need for the true Good Shepherd, dependence on God's strength, and why God's way is always better.

Whether you're serving locally, on the mission field, or feeling worn out in ministry, this episode will encourage you to trust Jesus, offer what little you have, and watch Him multiply it for His glory. Perfect for missionaries, pastors, and everyday disciples.
