In today's Gospel reading, we hear of Jesus as the gatekeeper, the good shepherd. As our society is so vastly different than the Roman Empire, is this story still relevant for us today, or do we have many parallels? Do we challenge systems when they may cost us? What truly is an abundant life?

The Good Shepherd, Oppressive Structures, Abundant Life

Unfiltered Pastor Biker is a transformative theologically progressive retired Lutheran minister who posts prayers and podcasts to share the gospel message of the radical love and freedom found in following the Christ. If you find your ‘beliefs’, ‘bound conscience’ or ‘deeply held convictions’ make you unkind, unmerciful, and unwilling to listen – you are worshiping yourself and not following the Christ. James 1:27 [my paraphrase]” Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God our Parent means caring for those in distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”
