Ever feel like life is pushing you from behind instead of being led toward something good? We explore a vivid choice: be driven like cattle by fear and pressure, or follow the Good Shepherd who goes first, calls by name, and leads to rest, purpose, and change. Starting with Micah’s prophecy about Bethlehem, we wrestle with how the religious experts knew the words but missed the Word—and why information without transformation still traps so many of us today.

We unpack the difference between a ruler who hoards and a shepherd who gives, tracing how Jesus lives the life He invites us to imitate. From John 10 to Psalm 23, we paint a practical picture of leadership that isn’t manipulative or shaming but deeply present and sacrificial. You’ll hear why belief must become obedience, why “greater things” looks like daily faithfulness, and how small, repeating habits can tune our ears to the Shepherd’s voice. Along the way, we get honest about resisting calling, taking the long way around, and learning to trust God with provision when the next step feels risky.

If you’d do it for yourself, do it for someone else—buy the meal, share the time, make the call, give the coat. Tell one trusted person where you sense Jesus is leading you and invite real accountability. Want a simple way to stay focused? Grab a five-day devo and start your mornings aligned.
