UNLEAVENED.
Not just a bakery.
Not just sourdough.
Not just a logo.
A testimony. 🤎
For those who don’t know the heart behind it yet, I wanted to finally share where the name came from and why it matters so much to me.
In the Bible, leaven often represents sin, pride, corruption, and the things that quietly spread through our lives if left unchecked. Jesus warned about “the leaven of the Pharisees” because even a little can influence the whole thing.
1 Corinthians 5:6 says,
“A little leaven leavens the whole lump.”
During Passover, God instructed His people to remove the leaven from their homes. It symbolized leaving behind the old life. Purity. Consecration. Remembering deliverance. Freedom.
And honestly… that’s my story.
There was a season where my life was filled with things I ran to before God. Trauma. Addiction. Brokenness. People pleasing. Chaos. Shame. Survival mode.
But Jesus. 🤍
He started cleaning house in me. Piece by piece. Layer by layer. Not just behavior modification. Heart transformation.
So when God put “Unleavened” on my heart, it hit deep.
Now here’s the beautiful part…
Yes, I bake sourdough.
And technically sourdough contains a natural fermentation culture, so no, it is not “unleavened bread” in the literal biblical sense.
But the process itself ministers to me constantly.
Simple ingredients.
Flour. Water. Salt. Time.
Slow growth.
Daily feeding.
Stretching. Folding. Resting. Fire.
And somehow God takes something so simple and turns it into something nourishing and life giving.
That’ll preach all by itself.
Sourdough reminds me that healthy things take time. That growth is often quiet. That what is cultivated daily matters. That neglect changes things. That living things need fed.
And honestly? So do we spiritually.
Matthew 4:4 says,
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
That verse became the heartbeat behind this:
More than bread…
It’s breakthrough.
Unleavened was born from a place of redemption. A place where God took what was broken and began making something beautiful from it.
So yes, I’ll keep baking the bread.
But my prayer is that every loaf, every conversation, every market, every post, every testimony, every late night prayer request and every person who crosses paths with this ministry encounters something deeper than pastries.
The Bread of Life Himself. 🥖
John 6:35
“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in Me shall never thirst.’”
