Getting to Empty: High Expectations

About this episode

The episode discusses the nature of leadership through the lens of scripture, particularly focusing on the calling of a young shepherd to be a king.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 A young shepherd is called to be a King… and so we still look to one who we call a “Good Shepherd” to lead us. But what is it about these workers in the flock? Is leadership just directing the path? Or could it be that leading also contains listening to the shape and seasons of the land to guide us safely?
