Ministry begins at home and flows outward with humility.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep. From Peter's restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others. Rooted in His Word and led by His Spirit, our lives become streams of comfort, truth, and encouragement to a world of wandering sheep.

In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're talking about the dirty secret the church doesn't want to admit: Christians attacking Christians. Not outsiders. Not atheists. Fellow believers, turning their swords on each other—devouring the body of Christ from the inside out.Let's call it what it is: spiritual sabotage. Pride, jealousy, insecurity—masked as discernment, but leaving division, disunity, and destruction in its wake.But here's the truth that echoes through eternity—Jesus is still Lord, and His mission is unity, not uniformity. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35)So what about you? When you face the test—will you build up, or tear down?Will you compete, or will you cover the world in Christ, locked arm-in-arm with your fellow believers?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth.Division is the devil's favorite weapon. Unity is the church's greatest witness. (Ephesians 4:3, John 17:21-23)Key takeaway:03:04 - We're at war now. Not with flesh and blood, mind you, but with principalities and the powers of darkness. If you don't believe me, grab your Bible and take a look at Ephesians 6:12. And yet, while we're supposed to be storming the gates of hell together, many Christians are turning their swords on each other. It's like a battlefield where soldiers spend more time fighting their own army than resisting the real enemy. This is not just a tragic situation, it's diabolical.06:22 - We, you, me, other Christians, we're the reason people are walking away from Jesus. It's not the world, it's not Hollywood, it's not these woke universities. It's us. Just marinate on that for a sec. We're harming the witness of Christ because we can't stop tearing each other down. We are walking, talking contradictions. We preach grace, but practice condemnation. We sing about unity, but we live in tribalism. We say we follow Christ, but more often than not, we act like Pharisees.24:16 - When Christians attack other Christians, we're not just damaging reputations. We're damaging the reputation of Christ himself. Sure, on the surface, that may sound extreme, but it's biblical. John 13:35 says this: 'By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.' Not if you quote the right Bible version, not if you vote a certain way, not if you have all your theological ducks in a row. But if you love one another.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

What does it mean to be both a sheep and a shepherd? We're first sheep—dependent and in need of care. As we receive from Christ, we're called to give. Feeding others starts by feasting on God's Word ourselves.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep. From Peter's restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others.

Today on the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we charge straight into the fire—illegal immigration. Not for the faint of heart. Not for the culture of comfort. But for bold believers who refuse to be silent.This isn't about politics. This is about biblical mandate. About seeing every immigrant as a soul made in the image of God—and refusing to let lawlessness or elitism define our response. We call out garbage, we expose hypocrisy; we stare down dehumanizing language and spineless silence.The world will mock. The critics will howl. But Jesus is still King, and His Word still draws the line between truth and compromise.Will you shrink back—or stand up? What will you do when your faith collides with the cultural firestorm?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in the everlasting Word.Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. (Romans 13:1-2)Key Takeaways:05:42 - When you say that immigrants exist to, quote, wash dishes or pick fruit. You're not praising their work ethic. Instead, you're degrading their humanity. You're telling an entire class of people, you basically exist to serve me. It's the same evil spirit that drove slavery. It's the same elitist mindset that says, I'm better than you, and your value is in what you do for me and people like me. That's not love. That is not advocacy. That's dehumanization. And it's sinful and unbiblical. 07:26 – Whether these folks cross the river legally or illegally, their life has value. Their story matters. But that doesn't mean that their actions are right. And believe me, we're going to get to that coming up here later in the podcast. But for now, I just want to say this: If we as Christians cannot look at an immigrant and say, That's a man or woman created by God with purpose, with value, and with dignity, then, man—we've lost the gospel. We've replaced it with nationalism, not Christianity.31:18 – The immigrant's worth is not based on how well they can scrub a toilet. Their value is not measured by how fast they can pick a strawberry. Their identity is not rooted in your convenience. Their value is rooted in the image of God. Period. James 3:9 rebukes those who curse human beings who have been made in God's likeness. That includes when you curse them with low expectations, when you curse them with degrading language or curse them with exploitative policies. So what should Christians do in the face of this? We should speak out. Which is exactly what we're doing on this episode of the C-Suite for Christ podcast. Connect with Paul NeubergerWebsite

Why does keeping Christ's commandments matter so much? Because obedience leads to intimacy. Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who treasure His words (John 14:21).

In loving Him this way, we find life and lasting fellowship.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it. As we treasure His Word, He transforms our minds, fills our hearts, and draws us into deeper intimacy. Obedience is not a burden, but a pathway into the joy and presence of the One we love.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?
