The Good Shepherd vs. the Death Shepherds

About this episode

This episode discusses the choice of following the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, over worldly influences that lead to death.

This episode centers on a crucial choice: not whether you’ll follow a shepherd, but which one. While many voices—self, culture, and worldly wisdom—promise life, they ultimately lead to death, whereas Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, alone has overcome death and offers true, abundant life. Though following Him can be difficult and countercultural, His resurrection proves He leads through death into eternal good, inviting listeners to turn from false guides and receive His forgiveness, life, and renewal.
