#012 What if God doesn't want first place? w/Kevin Shepherd

What if God never meant to be "first on your list"? In this episode of Help Me See, Justin talks with Kevin Shepherd - CEO of Crossroads and YES TV, assistant superintendent in the PAOC's Western Ontario District, long-time pastor, husband and dad about the deeper work of faithfulness, leadership, and possibility. Kevin shares about growing up in a pastor's home with a busy but present dad and a mom who knew how to pray. He opens up about perfectionism, a loud inner critic, and how increasing leadership responsibility forced him to rethink what faithfulness actually is. You'll hear: Why "familiarity does not equal faithfulness" How the "God first, family second, work third" hierarchy quietly breaks us Kevin's picture of God at the center of every box: family, work, side hustle, leadership The "problem of capable people" and why self-reliance is so dangerous Why silos are not the enemy — and how they should feed the whole, not themselves The difference between information and knowledge, and why leaders must learn to wrestle A powerful reframing of Jesus turning water into wine: just keep bringing the water How his family lives out the Shema in everyday rhythms: drive time, meal time, bedtime If you're a leader, parent, pastor, creative, or just someone who wants to be faithful where you are without losing your soul in the process — this conversation will give you both language and courage.
