Series: Guard the TreasureTitle: How do we shepherd our flock well?Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:14-19; John 10:1-15 NIVBottom line: We guard (pass on) the gospel by shepherding our flock well.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER OUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDINTRODUCTIONShrek the SheepHistoric Vids@historyinmemes On XThis is Shrek. He was just your everyday, average, run-of-the-mill Merino sheep living in South Island, New Zealand when he decided to escape from his enclosure and make a break for it to some nearby caves. He managed to live on his own for 6 years before he was eventually tracked down by his owner John Perrian, who had this to say when he finally found him: "He looked like some biblical creature."While some sheep breeds naturally shed their wool, like Bighorn sheep in North America, Merino sheep never do. Their wool will continue to grow until it completely engulfs them and even impairs their vision (what you would call "wool blind"). Domesticated sheep have evolved based on the way humans have groomed them for thousands of years.The earliest domestication of sheep dates back to 11,000 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, where they were primarily used for meat, milk, and wool.After 6 years without a shave, Shrek had enough wool on his body to produce 20 suits for large men. In total, his fleece weighed 60 pounds.Shrek's fleece was shaved off on national television and then auctioned off to support medical charities for children. He even got to meet the Prime Minister and has since been depicted in several children's books.Sadly, Shrek passed away in 2011 at the age of 16.One powerful image in scripture is that of the good shepherd who takes care of his sheep well. He knows them by name and protects them fully even if it costs him his life. Read John 10:1-15This kind of care is rare in life. It's rare in church life too. Yet this is what God calls us to. Starting at home, God calls parents to shepherd their flock (family) to follow the good, great and chief shepherd Jesus Christ.How are we doing? It doesn't seem like we're doing this very well. Church Growth?In 2023, the American church is struggling:Churches in decline = 54%Churches stable = 12%Churches growing = 33%Therefore, only 1/3 of churches in America are growing.The Church in America is becoming more and more partisan.Billy Graham endorsed Richard Nixon in his bid for the White House. You may have heard of Watergate and the scandal that led to Richard Nixon resigning for fear of being impeached. Billy Graham later shared that he regretted endorsing a political candidate. He realized that while you can the church through a partisan lense, that only leads to short-term growth and not necessarily the kind of growth that matters.There is a trend for churches (left and right leaning) to double down on the partisan issues that are part of the culture war to grow their church. This is short-sighted and I believe will lead to long-term harm to the kingdom.Sharing Our Faith“Yet the most dramatic divergence over time is on the statement, “Every Christian has a responsibility to share their faith.” In 1993, nine out of 10 Christians who had shared their faith agreed (89%). Today, just two-thirds say so (64%)—a 25-point drop.” -Barna.org I share these to say that we're not guarding the treasure like we used to in America. While Paul speaks to Timothy as an Apostle to a pastor, the principles apply to all Christians who believe that they also have the responsibility to guard the treasure by shepherding the flock. Based on the above Barna research, only 2/3rds of Christians believe this is their responsibility down from 90% in the 1990s.Paul writes to Timothy, the shepherd (pastor) of the flock (church) in Ephesus, on how to shepherd them well. He has summed it up in the key verse that Timothy is to guard the treasure (gospel/good news). We are called to do this in our own context. This is hard. It includes suffering and testing. Will we persevere? That's the question, isn't it. We can in Christ. But will we?CONTEXT“Certainly, I'm happy to discuss 2 Timothy with you from the perspective of someone with extensive experience in Christian ministry and theological training. As a fellow minister of the Gospel, grounded in sound exegesis and hermeneutics, you'll understand the profound wisdom and pastoral guidance contained in this epistle.The apostle Paul's second letter to Timothy carries a sense of solemnity and urgency, as he imparts his final instructions to his beloved spiritual son. Having fought the good fight and kept the faith, Paul knew his departure was imminent. He seized this opportunity to exhort Timothy to remain steadfast in the face of sufferings, false teachings, and apostasy that had already begun infiltrating the church.Central to this epistle is the call to endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus (2:3). Paul uses vivid metaphors—the soldier, athlete, and hardworking farmer—to underscore the discipline, single-mindedness, and perseverance required in gospel ministry. He charges Timothy to guard the gospel as a sacred trust, contending earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.Paul's prophetic warnings about the rise of false teachers, characterized by arrogance, greed, and spiritual deception, ring as true today as they did then. His antidote? A clarion call to remain rooted in the inspired Scriptures, which are profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (3:16).No discussion of 2 Timothy would be complete without revisiting the immortal words of 2:1-2—perhaps the apostolic succession passage par excellence. Here, Paul solemnly charges his protégé to entrust the gospel to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others also. This multi-generational transfer of truth encapsulates the great commission's essence.As seasoned ministers, we can surely resonate with Paul's poignant reflections, his tender affection for his spiritual offspring, and his longing to see the torch of biblical truth carried forth. May we, like Timothy, fan into flame the gift of God within us, unashamed of the gospel's testimony.” -Claude.ai SERMON I. Remind one another how to guard the good news.A. Standing tall, not ashamed of publicly following Jesus Christ.B. Passing on the good news that you've received from God through others to reliable people who will pass it along to others. Do soIntentionallyConsistentlyEquippedC. Persevering through the tests and suffering and so finish approved by God.As a good soldierAs a dedicated athleteAs a hardworking farmerAs a faithful shepherd (14)D. Keeping to the pattern of sound instruction E. Resting in the resurrectionsThe spiritual resurrection we have in Christ from second birthThe bodily resurrection we will have when we're glorified in Christ (at our death or his second coming)CONCLUSIONI've often described Christians as canals that are conduits of God's love. And there's truth in that. But this reservoir picture is even better. -DarienIf you are wise, therefore, you will show yourself a reservoir and not a canal. For a canal pours out as fast as it takes in; but a reservoir waits till it is full before it overflows, and so communicates it's surplus. We have all too few such reservoirs in the Church at present, though we have canals in plenty... They (canals) desire to pour out when they themselves are not yet inpouredThey are readier to speak than to listenEager to teach that which they do not knowMost anxious to exercise authority on others, although they have not (yet) learned to rule themselvesLet the reservoir of which we spoke just now take pattern from the spring; for the spring does not form a stream or spread into a lake until it is brimful.... Be filled yourself, then, but discreetly, pour out your fullness... Out of your fullness help me if you can; and, if not, spare yourself! - Bernard of ClairvauxThe question I want you to consider is, Do you think you personally have the responsibility to guard the treasure by passing on the good news to those who are far from God but close to you? Or do you think it's primarily the responsibility of the local church on your behalf? I would go with the former. Because the great commission and Paul in 2 Timothy makes it clear that, as the Church, we're to guard this treasure together. Bottom line: We guard (pass on) the gospel by shepherding our flock well.What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.PrayNOTESSpiritual vs bodily resurrection “You make an excellent point. The New Testament does teach about both a spiritual resurrection that occurs at conversion as well as a future bodily resurrection for believers.On the spiritual resurrection:- Ephesians 2:4-6 speaks of believers being "made alive" and "raised up" with Christ spiritually when they put their faith in Him.- Colossians 2:12-13 refers to believers being "raised with Him through faith" when they were spiritually dead in sins.- This spiritual resurrection represents being transferred from death to new life in Christ.And on the future bodily resurrection:- 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4 give extensive teaching on the bodily resurrection of believers at Christ's return.- This will involve receiving glorified, imperishable bodies fashioned like Christ's resurrection body.- It is the culmination of the believer's redemption - both soul and body made new.So you are absolutely right that there is both a present spiritual dimension of resurrection for the believer's soul/spirit at conversion, as well as a promised future bodily resurrection still to come. Paul upholds both of these resurrection truths.The error of Hymenaeus and Philetus seems to be denying or reducing the future bodily resurrection aspect, which was a central hope of the gospel. Thank you for raising that important clarification. The New Testament holds both the spiritual and bodily dimensions of resurrection together.” -Claude.ai Gangrene"Sure, I can explain what gangrene is in a way a 7th grade boy would understand.Gangrene is basically when a part of your body starts to die and rot away. It's really gross and can be super dangerous if not treated quickly.Imagine you get a really bad cut or wound, and instead of healing normally, it starts turning an ugly greenish-black color. The skin around it gets all mushy and smells terrible, like something that's been left out to rot for weeks. That's gangrene setting in.It happens when the blood flow to that area gets cut off, usually because of an infection. Without fresh blood bringing oxygen and nutrients, that part of your body just starts to decay and die right on you. It's like it's being eaten away from the inside out by bacteria.If gangrene is allowed to spread too far, it can get into your bloodstream and make you really sick, even killing you if not stopped. Sometimes the only way to stop it is by cutting off the dead, rotting part - like having to amputate a toe, foot or even a whole leg if the gangrene gets too bad.It's nasty stuff that you definitely don't want happening to your body. Keeping any cuts or wounds clean and watching for signs of infection is important to avoid getting gangrene. If you ever see signs of it, you'd need to get to the doctor right away before it spreads too far.“ -Claude.ai Good summary of 2:14-19:“2 Timothy 2:14-19 is a poignant exhortation from Paul to Timothy regarding the grave responsibility of rightly handling the word of truth. Let me summarize the key points:Verses 14-15 - Paul charges Timothy to keep reminding the believers not to quarrel about words, as it leads to the ruin of the hearers. Instead, he should diligently present himself as a workman approved by God, rightly dividing the word of truth. This underscores the minister's duty to accurately exposit Scripture without distortion.Verse 16 - He warns against engaging with irreverent babble and opposition to the truth, as it only leads to further ungodliness. Ministers must avoid profane chatter masquerading as deep truth.Verses 17-18 - Paul cites the example of Hymenaeus and Philetus, whose teaching spread like gangrene, upsetting the faith of some by claiming the resurrection had already occurred. This illustrates how seemingly small errors can metastasize into damning heresies.Verse 19 - In the midst of such threats, Paul provides assurance that the firm foundation of God stands sure, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are His," and "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity." While apostasy abounds, God preserves His elect, calling them to holy living.In summary, this passage emphatically calls ministers to diligent, precise, and reverent handling of God's Word while fleeing from profane speculations that shipwreck the faith. It balances a sober warning about insidious false teaching with the comforting truth that God sovereignly preserves His church amid such threats.” -Claude.ai QUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWho is God?What has he done/is he doing/is he going to do?Who am I? (In light of 1 & 2)What do I get to do? (In light of who I am)How do I do it?Let's ask some summary sermon questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. How to shepherd well.Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. So that they'll be more equipped to shepherd the flock around them.Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. Shepherd their flock starting with themselves.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. To keep them from being caught up in godless chatter that destroys people's faith.Q. How can they begin to do this?A.

Being Switched at Life - There is Only One Life to LiveWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.comNetwork: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.freeform.com/shows/switched-at-birthThe one-hour scripted drama is set in the Kansas City metropolitan area, and revolves around two teenagers who were switched at birth and grew up in very different environments: one in an affluent suburb, and the other in a working-class neighborhood.My Morning DevotionJohn 12:[9] When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. [10] So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, [11] because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.There will always be people who will try to snuff out our light because they cannot handle God's grace in our lives. A born-again life is a constant reminder that there is life outside of the best that the world can offer. The odd life of contentment, and satisfaction, in Christ does not sit well with those who have the world and forfeited their soul.So, our resurrected life becomes public enemy number one. Our marriages, families, ministries, and careers will be on the radars of the discontent. Don't think it's possible? Remember: the serpent, Satan, went to the garden to steal away the contentment of the first couple at the world's first free zoo, all you can eat buffet, and eHarmony hook-up.Nothing has been off the table since the dawn of time. That person "harmlessly" flirting with us knows that we are married (whether to Christ, or the spouse that we are blessed to know). Those unhappy people are willing to get our kids into gangs, and drugs, because no one should struggle through life being content. That activity that entertains us will continue to strip away our time of fellowship with God, through Christ Jesus, so that we cannot fortify our relationship with Him.The end result is the second, third, and thousandth death (separation from life). Worse is the fact that we know this but are too comfortable to change. Life is too convenient and our bucket list is almost complete.There's no stopping us now. Yet, we are stopped. We are dead in trespasses and sin. We are dead people walking. The enemies of our faith are successful once again because we were a friend to the world over being a friend with God.https://www.usa.gov/election-dayRemember that today is Election Day!If you're voting in person on Election Day, find your polling place and its hours.

Mobile Audio Technology & Podcasting On the Go - Putting Audio to Work“I get a bigger satisfaction working with things that has a constraint in terms of budget, you know, cannot be overly expensive. You have to deliver a ton of value for the money. I think this is so cool to work with that and like kind of, you know, work a miracle out of the parts that you have. Then, you know, go super fancy and, oh, this is the best thing ever. And you should pay, you know, ten grand for this. And then you can basically use anything. I think this is sort of like the movies that when, you know, the budget is short, sometimes the movie is a lot better and then the sequel, when you have a lot more budget, much more money to make the movie, maybe it's not as good.” -- Fernando Eid Pires This episode's guest is a relentless entrepreneur and a highly skilled electrical engineer with five patents and an inspiring history to share. His name is Fernando Pires and I first came across him and his expertise when a fellow VO reviewed a wonderful audio interface he'd come up with. It's currently called the PodMobile, but he may change that name in the future. It's a useful new tool to help voice actors and podcasters alike, get the best sound for their recordings: I've tried it myself and can tell you it is an excellent piece of equipment. We talk more about where his love of sound started, his electrical engineering, his current interest in sound, and where he thinks it'll end up. So stay tuned!As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that. Between Toys and SoundThe interview starts with Fernando's memories of listening to music in the car as a child, and we talk about how audio became a passion for him early on. “I was between toys and sound equipment,” Fernando explains. “But when I was twelve years old, it became pretty much all about audio.” He tells us about growing up in São Paulo and how its music scene helped cultivate his love of music. “If you want to listen to jazz on a Tuesday night,” he says, “you got it. If you want to listen to blues, you got it. Bossa nova, you got it. Samba, you got it. Anything. So rock and roll? Plenty.” An Expensive LessonFernando talks about his first patent, a beautifully designed and ingenious custom audio mixer that turned out to be hopelessly impractical. “It was a wooden cabinet painted silver,” he says, “like automotive paint. It was like the iPod of professional audio. It worked great. It was a pleasure to use, but to build it? Oh my goodness.” We talk about the hours of work he poured into each one of the hundred devices he eventually sold, and the lessons he learned from that project. “Honestly, that patent resulted in nothing,” he admits. “It was just extremely expensive. It wasn't a good idea.” Entrepreneurs from BirthThe conversation turns to his success with the PodMobile and the entrepreneurial spirit that carried him through those early setbacks, a spirit he thinks many people possess without realizing it. “I believe that most...

This first year of life is instrumental in determining how a horse's future will play out, and poor nutrition can be devastating in a number of different ways. During this episode, Dr. Stephen Duren, PhD. equine nutrition specialist, joins us for a discussion about some of the most important nutritional elements of a horse's diet. From protein to zinc, to the “big two” nutrients (i.e. calcium and phosphorus), Dr. Duren explains the importance of each and the issues that can arise if a foal receives more or less than the optimal amount. You will also learn about the digestive system of foals, when foals should be started on solids, and how the diet of a pregnant mare impacts the fetus.  Key Points from This Episode:The definition of a foalWhere you can access a comprehensive list of nutrients for horsesNutrients that are critical for foal growthSymptoms of nutrient deficiency in foalsThe dangers of overfeeding a foalHow to support a foal whose mother is not producing enough milkThe age at which foals should start consuming hay and concentratesProblems that arise due to a lack of proteinWhy calcium and phosphorus are known as the “big two”The importance of getting the calcium-phosphorus ratio rightHow zinc impacts foal growthThe effects of inadequate levels of copper in a foal's dietWhat a foal's digestive system looks likeHow the diet of a pregnant mare will affect the foal after birthThe growth stages that a foal goes through during the first year of lifeHow your goals for the foal should determine their nutrition management planThe benefits of a smooth growth curveHow to minimize weight issues when a foal is weaned off his mother's milkAdvice on what to feed a growing foalSome of the most common developmental orthopedic diseasesExercises that young, growing horses should not engage in____________________________________ Notable References:2:59 - Nutritional Requirements of Horses (Sixth Revised Edition 2007) - https://doi.org/10.17226/1165314:54 – In reference to a study done in New Zealand regarding the effect of copper supplementation on the copper status of pasture-fed foals - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9622321/35:05 – In reference to horses who had stifle and sesamoid issues, they followed them and based off their radiographs, if they appeared in a 2 year old sale to see, did they race and how did they do? - Pages 424-427 chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://aaep.org/sites/default/files/2022-12/2022Proceedings.pdf38:45 – Studies with sheep and horses to determine if circling or loading a joint unevenly could cause joint damage - https://www.hindawi.com/journals/arthritis/2017/7481619/ & https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/11/1379 ____________________________________Have a topic idea or feedback to share?

There are probably few things, if any, that could be more of a blessing than a new baby being welcomed into the world. While we spend a lot of time focusing on what a blessing a baby is, I think it's important to remember that the experience of pregnancy and birth is seeped in blessing. I wanted to spend my time on today's episode talking about the blessing of birth, which might take, us into some interesting and unexpected places. In this episode, you will hear about:Why it's important to honor the role of blood in birthWhat it means to sacrifice in pregnancy and birthThe importance of nurturing and ritual in pregnancy and birth & how you can incorporate this into your pregnancy_______________________Further info & opportunities:Open your breath, connect to your pelvic floor, and prepare to relax with the Stillpoint Prenatal Breathwork Worshop Recording for free at NaturalBirthCompass.com/BreatheFree.Learn about  The Natural Birth Compass Prenatal Wellness Program Here

Pregnancy is one of the most magical moments in a woman's life. It feels powerful to know that you are creating another human inside of you. It is a very exciting and enjoyable time that may also bring fears and uncertainties to both mother and baby.A woman's body is forever altered by pregnancy. Without proper nutrients, it can be weakened by the physical and psychological changes in pregnancy and childbirth, making mothers-to-be more at risk in future pregnancies. This is why access to prenatal care is vital to every pregnant woman.Equally important is postpartum care, which helps mothers adjust to the changes their bodies go through. Postpartum care also includes making sure that the social and emotional changes caused by giving birth are addressed.Today, cesarean (C-section) intervention is 500% higher than in the 1970s. Not surprisingly, we've also seen higher maternal mortality rates. One in three babies are born via C-section, compared to 1 in 20 in the mid-1970s.Though a very common procedure, C-section is still major surgery with a wide range of complications including organ injury, hemorrhage, and a three-fold higher rate of infection. Despite the risks, hospitals often push for C-section birth because it costs less money to perform a C-section and they are paid more in insurance reimbursements.In today's episode, Dr. Lindsay Mumma and I talk about preparing for pregnancy, birthing, postpartum care, and our grave concerns about COVID injections for children and pregnant women.Lindsay Mumma, DC, is the owner of Triangle Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center in Raleigh, NC, a multidisciplinary practice she opened in 2012 after graduating with a Clinical Excellence Award. She began her career with a focus on sports rehab, but when she wanted to get pregnant, she realized the approach of prehabilitation and rehabilitation techniques was irrelevant to (and missing from) most perinatal care.Please note: for the next several weeks I will be taking some time off for self-care and to create more amazing content for you.

Welcome to the second episode in our newest series, Minisodes with Mel. In this solo episode, I tell the insane and twisted story about the time I had to face my biggest fear in life - CHILD BIRTH! In January 2021, my sister was admitted to the hospital to be induced for labor, and after a series of unfortunate events, I had to volunteer tribute to be by her side while she gave birth to her daughter Alana. I've been terrified of child birth my entire life, but the universe decided this was the year I'd have to face my biggest fear.

In today’s episode I am kicking off the series about childbirth preparation classes. I am featuring a different type of birth education program each week in the month of May. I had the privilege of interviewing Nikki Shaheed and she is a certified Trainer, Mentor, and Doula for Birthing from Within, as well as the author of Heart Centered Pregnancy Journal. Nikki is passionate about bringing balance and self-compassion to the childbearing year. She lives in San Antonio, TX with her husband and three amazing children. In this episode we discuss: Background of Birthing From WithinCreated by Pam England, who is the author of Birthing From WithinHer birth experience led her to ask herself: what did I need to know as a mother that I didn’t know as a midwife? That question inspired her quest to find self compassion and a way to help people to have more realistic and holistic expectations before they give birthWhat is the BFW "unmethod"? There is no way to get it wrong with Birthing From Within, it is not outcome basedIt is all about developing self love, self acceptance and doing what the moment calls for without being held back by conditioning or judgmentWords we use in birthThe words we use are powerful and create imageryThe term “natural childbirth” makes Cesarean or medicated birth seem “unnatural”You cannot plan out your birthYou can prepare for birth, but you cannot control birth outcomesCenter preparation around the foundational concept that you are stepping into the unknownNikki likes to call Birthing From Within the “self compassion buffet” Self compassion is the most important thing to pack in your birth bagWhat will parents learn about childbirth, as well as themselves? Parents will learn the “nuts and bolts” of birthStages of laborCommon procedures that can occur during birthHow to prepare the for the unknownBirth ArtEmbodied experience that allows parents to practice figuring out what to do when they don’t know what to doWise and compassionate mentor is there to encourage them to keep goingEmphasis on the postpartum journey is a big differentiator between Birthing From Within and other birth preparation programsFind a Birthing From Within Birth Education MentorHow to get in touch with/follow NikkiHeart Centered Pregnancy JournalFollow on InstagramWebsiteHow to get in touch with me: Follow me on InstagramFind other episodes at: www.findingyourvillagepod.comEmail me at amanda@findingyourvillagepod.com Monthly Newsletter Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/findingyourvillagepod?fan_landing=true)

While working as a paramedic, Nikki noticed that parents lacked essential skills and knowledge when it came to paediatric first aid, birth and parenting and knew that something had to change.At Tiny Hearts, our mission is to bring education to all Australian parents that will transform their parenting experience, giving them the knowledge to move through pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood with confidence.This conversation gave me a completely new perspective on how I can empower myself as a mother to a young child, and that it truly is my responsibility to seek out this support.Through Tiny Hearts, Nikki and her sister Rach, have impacted thousands of lives and are truly changing the way that we, as parents respond in an emergency.This episode is empowering, grounding and practical. I know you're going to love it!We talk about…What Nikki saw that brought about the inspiration to begin Tiny Hearts Education with her sister RachWhy ignorance isn't bliss and how to advocate for your childWhy it's important to educate yourself and empower yourself with first aid skills as a parentYou don't rise to the level of expectation in a crisis, rather fall to your level of trainingWhy she hopes that what she teaches you is a waste of your timeThe most important thing in a crisis and how she sets you up to call on thisLife changing stories from the Tiny Hearts communityHow birth is influenced by mindsetWhy you MUST prepare for birthThe impact of mindset on birthWhat you need to focus on when you write a birth planAnd so much more!Show notes for this episode Register for my upcoming Masterclass: How to stay calm and stress-free while consciously conceiving in 2020 To circulate an exchange with me, you can buy me a coffee here.
