Jesus used this metaphor to communicate with his followers. The survival of sheep depends on the existence of a shepherd who cares.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.”
John 10: 11-16 (NLT).

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.”

In 2018, when I was drafted to run for mayor of Nashville, a framed copy of Micah 6:8 hung in my office:
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”
It still hangs in one of the bedrooms in my home.
True leadership isn’t about status or self-promotion—it’s about justice, mercy, humility, and service before God.
Does Micah 6:8 (or another verse) speak to you? Share it below.

We have an everlasting reason for hope.
Isaiah 9 isn’t just a Christmas passage—it’s a living word for right now. In a world that feels unstable, this promise still holds:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.”
— Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV).
Who else is holding onto this hope today?
