In this deeply practical and heartfelt episode, “Why You Must Be a Shepherd,” we explore the ancient, enduring calling to shepherd—at home, at work, in ministry, and in the broader community. Drawing from timeless biblical wisdom and real-life leadership principles, the conversation unpacks how the shepherd’s posture—guiding, guarding, feeding, and leading—translates into everyday influence for ordinary people. Whether you’re a parent, a team lead, a creative, a student leader, a pastor, or an entrepreneur, this episode shows you why a shepherding mindset is not only relevant but essential in a noisy, uncertain world.

From Psalm 23 and John 10 to 1 Peter 5 and Ezekiel 34, we trace the Shepherd heart of God and convert it into practical steps for modern life: building trust, setting direction, cultivating resilience, and creating safe spaces for growth.
