Join us for this powerful message from the Strong Men's Retreat 2025 where Pastor Chris Chadwick dives into the biblical account of Jesus feeding the 5,000 to challenge men to step up and meet the needs around them. Focusing on Jesus’ command, "Give ye them to eat," this message of expositional preaching encourages believers to overcome feelings of inadequacy, stop focusing on their limitations, and instead surrender the "little" they have—their five loaves and two fishes—to God for Him to bless and multiply. Learn to see people the way Jesus sees them, as sheep without a shepherd, and trust in His sufficiency and your availability rather than your own ability to impact the world for Christ.
