Help Me See with Justin Driedger

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


Listen Later

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.
