Welcome to Shepherd Sanctuary | Why Every Shepherd Needs a Sanctuary

In the premiere episode of Shepherd Sanctuary, Dr. Jevon Goode shares the story behind the vision and why this podcast was created. After more than 30 years in ministry and over two decades of pastoring, he reflects on the lessons, challenges, and relationships that have shaped his journey. More importantly, he introduces a burden many leaders carry but rarely talk about: shepherds need a place to be strengthened, encouraged, and challenged by other shepherds. This conversation sets the foundation for what’s ahead as we explore leadership, discipleship, ministry, church culture, and the real issues pastors and leaders face behind the scenes. Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or someone who desires to see healthier leaders and stronger churches, this first episode will help you understand the heart of Shepherd Sanctuary and why this space exists.
