Shepherds take care of sheep. Pastors take care of people. Our first job is to create the culture that people experience when they come into our environments. Good shepherds facilitate growth and health. Discover why the culture you carry matters more than the platform you build. Pastor Jeff shares how a healthy team and a heart for people will always outlast trends, hype, or systems.
