“oh sourdough, yeah

I made that

during the pandemic…”

We started a little before that,

but the pandemic helped us

get pretty good at it.

Consider the magic of sourdough

– three simple God-made ingredients:

flour, sea salt and water.

Alone, none can sustain a person,

but when combined, bread can

sustain human life.

Whoa.

And then we started to really think about it.

Beyond the nutritional - benefits of a

simple sourdough bread can be far reaching.

Now consider this…

We as people are called to help sustain other human lives as well.

In John 6:1-14 Jesus wanted the disciples to feed a large crowd. They said it would be impossible. But, a boy with them had five small loaves of bread and two small fish. Jesus takes this gift, thanks God for it, and uses it to feed over 5,000 people, with leftovers to spare.

Jesus' feeding of the five thousand is a gentle reminder in our daily lives that nothing we face here on Earth is too big for God, Jesus is big enough for any of our expectations, and He uses other people to bless others, and ultimately, it shows Jesus' compassion for His people.

With that at the heart of it, Five Thousand was born. Conceived with people helping other people “baked” into (no pun intended, but sorta) the business. Our goal is to donate 5000 loaves of bread.

Once we do, that’s when the real work begins.
