Jesus is the Good Shepherd

About this episode

John explores the characteristics of a true leader through the imagery of the Good Shepherd in the 10th chapter of John.

In this thought-provoking message, John explores the 10th chapter of John to define the characteristics of a true leader through the imagery of the Good Shepherd. He emphasizes that authentic leadership is built on relationship and sacrifice rather than seeking the spotlight, noting that a flock thrives only when it can clearly recognize its shepherd's voice. By contrasting the devoted shepherd with the disinterested "hired hand," King challenges listeners to adopt a "mind of Christ" that prioritizes the needs of others above their own.
