The Shepherd Smells Like Us

John 10:27–30 | Good Shepherd Sunday What does it mean that Jesus is the Good Shepherd? In this episode, I share a personal story from my time in Kenya caring for sheep, and how that experience brings fresh meaning to Jesus' words: “My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me.” We explore how Christ doesn’t just lead from above—He draws near, enters our mess, and even smells like us. He takes on our history, our pain, our trauma, and our smell… not to shame us, but to redeem us. Let this be a reminder that you are fully known, fully loved, and never alone in your story. 🧠 Journal Questions Where in your life do you feel most “scattered” or disconnected? What parts of your personal history do you try to hide from God? How does it change your view of Jesus to imagine Him smelling like your story?
