50 | Church Hurt: What Ezekiel 34 Teaches About Corrupt Leadership (Part III)
Sometimes we wonder if God really sees what happens behind church doors — the meetings, the manipulation, the moments when power crushes people instead of protecting them.
Ezekiel 34 answers that question with unmistakable clarity: God sees. God cares. And God will act.
In this powerful episode, Ernest walks us into one of the most sobering scenes in Scripture — a divine courtroom where God Himself takes the stand against corrupt shepherds.
He doesn’t whisper justice. He swears it.
“As I live,” declares the Lord.
Because when those who wear His name misrepresent His heart, heaven responds.
This isn’t the rage of a distant deity — it’s the heartbreak of a protective Father who loves His flock too much to let injustice go unchallenged.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
✅ Why God’s oath — “As I live” — is a divine promise that no injustice escapes His sight
✅ What “My Shepherds” reveals about God’s ownership and His heartbreak over misrepresentation
✅ How church abuse and betrayal wound faith at its deepest level — and why heaven refuses to stay silent
✅ How the failed shepherds of verse 8 give way to the faithful Shepherd of verse 23 — Jesus, who gathers what others scattered.
