Why Is Bread So Important in the Bible? - With Sarah Gelvin and Keira Jisa from Unsifted

It is my joy and privilege to welcome Sarah Gelvin and Keira Jisa to the Christian Skeptic podcast. Both Sarah and Keira have struggled for most of their lives when it comes to gluten, bread, and food-health issues. Their greatest struggle may have been reconciling their past inability to consume bread with the Bible's constant references to bread and even Jesus calling Himself the "bread of life" in John 6:35. From this struggle, they started a company out of their kitchens, during the pandemic, called Unsifted. Join us in this conversation as we discuss their story, their struggles, and how they reconcile these hard dietary questions with the truths found in scripture.
