The Good Shepherd, Psalm 23 and John 10

We just finished Psalm 23 verse by verse, and now we’re moving straight into John 10:1–18. That is not a random jump. It is a storyline.Psalm 23 gives us the Shepherd picture. John 10 gives us the Shepherd’s name.In this episode, I explain why we’re starting John 10 next, and what to listen for as we go slowly through it. John 10 is where Jesus speaks directly into the shepherd imagery and then makes it painfully practical. He talks about voices, false voices, thieves, strangers, safety, following, and how a life gets led without you living under constant anxiety and reaction.This series is for anyone who feels like they have too many voices in their head right now. Too many pressures. Too many expectations. Too much noise. John 10 is not just comfort. It is formation. It is Jesus training you to recognize Him over time.We’ll go verse by verse, not to be academic, but to be formed. Because transformation does not happen from rare intensity. It happens through repeated attention.If you'd like to get these episodes in your inbox and support my work head over to my substackMentioned in this episode:If you've enjoyed this devotional, would you please leave a rating and a review?
