Episode Details

We hold the Good Shepherd close, then we let his words challenge us where it hurts: real love stays when danger and discomfort show up. Peter’s story and Jesus’ “other sheep” force us to ask who we exclude, and whether we’re quietly hindering what God wants to do through us. 
• the difference between a shepherd and a hired man when the wolf arrives 
• why Jesus’ “lay down my life” is costly and real 
• Peter crossing boundaries with Gentiles and choosing story over self-defence 
• “Who Was I To Hinder God?” as a test of humility and mission 
• “other sheep” and the discomfort of expanding our idea of belonging 
• how we act like hired hands by calculating risk and doing the minimum 
• being a shepherd in family life, work and parish through presence and sacrifice 
• Jesus knowing the real us and staying anyway 
• a practical challenge to show up for people who feel far from church
