#54 - Joby Martin // Cowboys & Shepherds

Jesus presents Himself as the Good Shepherd in John 10, establishing not just His divine identity but a leadership model that all Christian men should follow.

• Jesus uses seven "I am" statements in John's Gospel, demonstrating His divinity and equality with God
• The contrast between shepherds and cowboys reveals fundamentally different leadership approaches
• Cowboys count heads, shepherds know their sheep by name
• Cowboys push from behind, shepherds lead from the front
• Cowboys fatten cattle for profit, shepherds feed sheep out of love
• Cowboys love being cowboys, shepherds love their sheep
• True Christian leadership focuses on eternal wellbeing, not just temporal success
• Leaders must ask whether they love their role or truly love the people they serve
