E11: Time to bake bread

38min | 11/02/2025

Description

Bread is a significant theme in this chapter, as Jesus can multiply it. Damian and Joan discuss the nature of yeast in bread as a symbol for the hidden aspects that grow and amplify life. Mark contrasts the yeast of the Pharisees with the yeast of Jesus, and even though Damian can't get his head around the literal miraculous stuff that happens in this chapter, he made strong connections with the symbolism of bread and the way it nourishes life.

About Untangled

This is a podcast for the Bible curious.

Each week Joan will give Damian a passage to read from the bible and they’ll just talk about it.

At their heart, religions promote connection, each offering a unique path toward unity in life in God.

Here’s a place to untangle stories from the Christian Scripture.

Joan and Damian grew up next door to each other in Melbourne’s inner north. 50 years later, they are still great mates and like to chat about all things deep and meaningful.

Joan has read the bible loads of times. She grew up on bible stories, became a church minister, learned from biblical scholars, read books, writes sermons and has been immersed in theological reflections for years.

Damian has never read the bible. He ran an IT business and has been highly suspicious of religion. After a mid-life direction change, Damian retrained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist.
