Summary

Have you ever felt like what you have is just not enough? In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 from Mark 6 to remind us that God doesn’t need perfection—He just asks us to bring what we have. You’ll discover how God uses our limitations, multiplies what feels insufficient, and even turns broken pieces into testimonies of His faithfulness. This message will encourage you to stop disqualifying yourself and start trusting the God of miracles. ✨ Discover today: ● Why God asks us to bring what we do have, not what we don’t. ● How brokenness becomes the very place of multiplication. ● How to hold on to the evidence of past miracles when you face new storms.

0:06.0	Hey there, I'm Christine, and I'm so excited to welcome you to the Equip and Empower podcast.
0:11.6	Now, my prayer is that our time together each week encourages you,
0:15.6	awakens you to the purposes of God in your life,
0:18.1	and activates you to follow Jesus wholeheartedly as you live on mission
0:22.1	for him.
0:24.9	I love being part of this family. We're going to dive right into the word. We're talking about
0:30.7	the miracles of Jesus. Okay, I'm both Greek and a woman, so I only read three ways, hard fast and continuously.
0:40.0	So we're going to the Gospel of Mark, chapter six.
0:43.7	The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.
0:48.6	He said to them, come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.

0:55.3	even have time to eat. They were obviously Jewish and not Greek because Greeks always have time to

1:11.1	arrived ahead of them. When he went ashore, he saw a large crowd and had compassion on them

1:23.2	his disciples approached him and said, the place is deserted and it's already late. Send them away
1:28.6	so they can go to the Jerusalem food court before it closes and they can buy. I'm just wondering
1:33.0	if anybody even knows. Just wondering, that's not in the original just before you write me a letter.
1:40.5	When he grew late, these disciples approached and said the place is deserted, it's already late.
2:01.8	Send them away so they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages to buy themselves something to eat. You give them something to eat, he responded. They said to him, should we go and buy 200 dinari worth of bread and give them something to eat? He asked them, how many loaves do you have? Go and see. When they found out, they said five and two fish.
