Listen "What is a Shepherd"
Episode Synopsis
Being a shepherd, or pastor, is far more than a job title—it's a divine calling that compels someone to care for God's people. This calling requires genuine character traits including being above reproach, self-controlled, hospitable, and able to manage one's own household well. The work involves protecting the flock from spiritual dangers, providing spiritual nourishment through Scripture, and making difficult decisions for the congregation's wellbeing. Ministry affects the entire family, not just the individual called. While not everyone is called to pastoral ministry, all believers can lead with shepherd-like character in their workplaces and communities, focusing on loving Jesus and loving others above personal advancement.
