Episode notes
The Insulting Need for Shepherds
- The Bible calls us sheep to illustrate our helplessness and lack of direction.
- Like sheep, we will die without a shepherd, highlighting our dependence on guidance.
Authorize Shepherds
- Authorize others to share control of your life, ensuring accountability.
- Without shared control, you risk spiritual and personal ruin.
Balancing Shepherding
- Own shepherding and over-shepherding are detrimental extremes to avoid.
- Find a balance by being accountable to peers and Jesus as the ultimate shepherd.
