[1 Peter 5:1] 1 Peter 5:1, “To the elders among you… be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care.” Shepherding is the most frequently used metaphor for leadership in the Bible. [Numbers 27:15-18] MOSES had to be a shepherd before he could shepherd God's people. [Psalm 78:70-72] DAVID had to be a shepherd before he could shepherd God's people. [Jeremiah 3:15] God wants us to learn how to Shepherd His People too. Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. Psalm 23 shows us the core functions of a good shepherd. Good Shepherds provide, protect and guide. [Mark 6:34-37] The Good Shepherd Jesus provided for his people too. Please be patient as we work through audio quality issues related to our new location in the coming weeks.

By asking ourselves and answering the question "why", it may reflect our own struggles to be "good shepherds"

Fr. Mike explains the beautiful connections between all of our readings today. He emphasizes how good shepherds are willing to face the truth, and also sacrifice for their sheep, like Jesus who laid down his life for us. In our reading of Jeremiah, Fr. Mike also explains that the experience of shame points to the reality that there is something good within us that ought not to be violated. Today we read Jeremiah 6, Ezekiel 34-35, and Proverbs 14:25-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

A Reflection by Jo Hatlem on July 21, 2024

1 Peter 5:1-5

Join us for another episode of the Konza Catholic Podcast as the gang discusses how to be a good shepherd.

A message for Eastertide from Pastor Jon Odom, reflecting on John 10:11-18.

In this homily given on April 21st, 2024, Fr Mathias exhorts us to live like Jesus, our Good Shepherd, and not like the hired men who abandons the sheep when danger is near.  It's not just the clergy who are called to be like Jesus in shepherding God's people; the laity too who have people entrusted their care (parents, siblings, leaders, managers, bosses, teachers, etc) are called to live as good shepherds. Contrasting the characteristics of Jesus and the self-interested hired servant, Fr Mathias leads everyone through an examination on how we're doing in caring for those God has entrusted to us.  He ends with an encouragement for those who undergo trial on behalf of those they're called to care for.  

Father Ryan preaches at the 10:00am Mass on the Fourth Sunday of Easter, Sunday, April 21, 2024. Tiffany Blanco offers a reflection.

John 10:11-18“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the good shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and runs away – and the wolf snatches and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because the hired hand does not care about the sheep.“I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. There are other sheep who are not part of this fold. I must bring them along also and they will listen to my voice. So that there will be one flock, one shepherd.“For this reason the Father loves me, because I am willing to lay down my life and take it up again. No one takes it from me. I lay it down of my own accord. I have the power to lay it down and I have the power to take it up again. I have received this command from my father.” In addition to it being the Fourth Sunday of Easter, today is also, often called, in many places “Good Shepherd Sunday,” where churches all over the world hear some bit of this portion of John's Gospel where Jesus waxes poetic about his identity as “the Good Shepherd.”It's a popular image, I suspect most of us have seen or heard of before: Jesus, with livestock draped over his shoulders. There are paintings and stained glass windows showing as much. There are a few “Good Shepherd” and “Our Shepherd” Lutheran Churches right here in Indianapolis. I was baptized at a Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, in Vickery, Ohio. But I often struggle with what to say about it – or what new thing to say about it – I guess. On one hand it seems like such an obvious cliché. On the other hand, I've never met a shepherd, so…So, today might seem like a stretch. It's not the first time you've heard that from me, and it won't be the last, but I found myself wondering about “the hired hand” that Jesus mentions in this morning's Gospel, this time around, as a way of wondering differently about “the Good Shepherd,” too.Well, here's “the stretch.” Jesus' mention of how “the hired hand” doesn't know or care about the sheep…? How the “hired hand” sees the wolf coming and runs away – leaving the sheep to be snatched and scattered because the “hired hand” doesn't care about the sheep, in the same way the Good Shepherd does…?All of that reminded me of George Costanza. (I told you it was a stretch, but after last week – with Jeannie's fall and all of my waterworks about my Father-in-Law – I thought we could use a laugh this morning, so I'm going with it.) Jesus' talk about the “hired hand” made me think of this ridiculous bit of Seinfeld, where George Costanza is at a child's birthday party. In the show, George smells fire, sees smoke in the kitchen, and runs out of the party, knocking over a clown, an elderly woman with a walker, and pushes several children out of his way, trying to get to the door and escape to safety. He gets accosted by the clown, the party's host, and emergency workers afterward where he tries, shamefully, to explain himself and defend his actions. “The hired hand, who is not the good shepherd … sees the wolf coming and runs away…” “The hired hand runs away because the hired hand does not care about the sheep.” Okay. Funny stuff aside.Part of what Jesus is saying – and had been trying to prove throughout his ministry – is that the world was and is filled with too many “George Costanzas.” I mean, too many “hired hands.” There were and are, it seems to me, too many pretending to share grace, to do God's bidding, to be Messiah, Savior, GOD … but too many who can't… who won't… who don't… none who could ever measure up to the fullness of love we know in Jesus, the one and only, real, Good Shepherd – which Good Friday's cross and Easter's empty tomb prove to be true. The Good Shepherd lays down his life, of his own accord, and takes it back up again, at the Father's command – all to bring the whole wide world into the flock.And it's always helpful to notice where we are in the Bible (John, Chapter 10, remember) in relation to where we are in the church calendar on a day like today. I mean, we're a few weeks after the resurrection – on the other side of that empty tomb – with the cross and crucifixion in the review mirror and the good news of Easter, hopefully, still ringing in our ears. But today's Gospel reading takes us back a bit in the life and times of Jesus, just about halfway through John's version of the story.When Jesus was talking about the Good Shepherd, he was in the thick of things, but hadn't made it to Calvary and the cross, just yet. At this point he was still pointing ahead to all of that, and the resurrection was just a pipe dream. Nevertheless, he had been busy…He'd reluctantly turned water into wine at that wedding in Cana. He'd met secretly with Nicodemus and tried to answer all kinds of questions and curiosities about his status as the Son of Man, sent to save, not condemn, the world. He'd been baptizing like crazy, even more prolifically than John the Baptist, and attracted the suspicious attention of the Pharisees because of it. He'd had that conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well – the one who'd been married five times? – which raised a lot of eyebrows, in and of itself.He'd saved the life of a royal official's son, helped a lame man walk out of the healing pool in Jerusalem, fed 5,000 people on the side of a hill, saved the life of that woman who'd been caught in adultery, given sight back to a blind beggar, and, of course, there was all sorts of preaching and teaching and more in the meantime.And THEN, today, he gets to this talk about sheep and hired hands and what it means to be a – to be THE – Good Shepherd.All of this is to say, I think that – in the midst of his very prolific life and ministry but long before his death and resurrection – Jesus is still trying to prove who he is and how he came to be in the world. And he's still trying to convince people – in advance of the crucifixion and long before the resurrection – that he was different … better … up to the challenge … faithful … the one they were waiting for, whether they knew it or not.He was no hired hand. He was the real deal. He would not leave them orphaned, or scattered, or snatched from the grip of God's grace. He wasn't in this for himself. He was following God's lead. He would answer God's call. He was the one and only, Good Shepherd who could be trusted above all else.And what was supposed to be their hope in advance of the resurrection is our hope, still, on the other side of the empty tomb. Jesus stands over and above the politicians, the pundits, the pastors, the powers-that-be – and even Tay Tay and all of her tortured poets.What we have in this good and gracious shepherd is one who comes down, into our world and down into our lives with a love and a loyalty like the world doesn't offer – a love and a loyalty none of us deserves. When we let that love guide us and when we follow where it leads, we'll find ourselves never lost, but found; never scattered but gathered together; never snatched away or trampled underfoot, but lifted up, welcomed back, carried home to safety, joy, hope and peace in the very presence of God – no matter what tries to snatch us or scatter us along the way.Amen

In a shocking turn of events, the author of the Gospel of John is consistent with his themes and threads, and nowhere is that more than it is this week, when we dive into John 10 to talk about Good Shepherds, and John 15 to talk about Good Friends. It's about community, grace, empowerment, and the profundity of Divine Love. Join us if you can for this Johannine exploration.

Matthew suggests good discipleship is similar to good shepherding.

If you have ever called someone "Pastor" or "Shepherd", it is because of this passage of Scripture.  Here, our ELDERS are associated with the image of SHEPHERD. It is a noble task as Jesus refers to Himself as the GOOD Shepherd and the CHIEF Shepherd.Shepherds do two main things: They THINK BIG and LEAD their flock somewhere. They also THINK SMALL about feeding, tending, taking care of, and protecting.Join me for 7 minutes as we look at GOOD and NOT so good shepherds.  Boy do we need Shepherds because TROUBLE and TARGETING comes to sheep.

In this bonus episode of Mormonish Podcast, cohosts Rebecca and Landon discuss the recent SEC fine against the LDS church with Christopher Metz and David Nolan, the writer/directors of "The Good $hepherd$," a musical about LDS tithing and finances that debuted last summer. The mega talented Christopher Metz and David Nolan developed the musical to shine a light on how the LDS church uses it's tithing funds and donations, with a message that "they can do better." The themes explored in the musical have never been more relevant than they are today, as recent events involving an SEC fine against the church are being discussed everywhere. Chris and Dave share their unique perspective as we delve further in to this timely topic on this episode of Mormonnish.

We speak of the meaning behind this parable, and the examples of Good Shepherds in the Church. One of them being St. Ignatius of Antioch.

On a special Mormon Media Reviews segment on MBR, Rebecca Bibliotheca returns to co-host with Steven Pynakker! "The Good Shepherds,” a musical written, composed and directed by David Nolan and Chris Metz, shines a light on the finances of the LDS church and other religious organizations and asks the question, is the sizeable wealth of religious organizations like the LDS church really being used to help those who need it, specifically marginalized groups. Do religious organizations follow the adage WWJD when it comes to spending their money? Both directors have a personal connection to the storyline and use song, dance and individual stories from the cast to get the play's message across. Deemed controversial, many people involved in the production have faced backlash for their participation, but most remained committed to the message. #mormonmusical #lds

Anyone keeping an eye on the overarching trends in the global wholesale and speciality insurance and reinsurance markets of the last few years cannot have failed to notice the explosive growth of the hybrid insurance carrier. Burgeoning Billions of dollars of premium are being directed in new and interesting ways through a cohort of businesses that ten years ago didn't really exist. Regular listeners to this podcast will know that this has been a repeated topic of conversation with guests on the show. I think today's guest will be able to put this topic into context better than almost anyone else. That's because Bill Jewett CEO of Obsidian Insurance Holdings boasts a more than forty-year career right in the heart of the US and Bermuda reinsurance community. This means Bill is very much one of us and can speak our language. He can also articulate what is happening on the ground because he is personally one of the architects of the hybrid carrier revolution and what looks very much to be a secular change in the distribution of commercial insurance. I had known Bill since his decade at Endurance and was really glad to catch up with him again after such a long time. I'm sure many of you out there will similarly be re-acquainting yourself with an old friend from the business. Bill's got a great story to tell and this podcast will dispel any lingering myths or doubts you have about the major changes afoot in how many MGAs will source their capital in the future.

I have no idea what the number might be, but I know it's sizeable. How many people have walked away, not only from the church of Jesus Christ, but from God Himself, not because of something God did, but because of ungodly leaders? Lying, abuse of power, double-standards, slander, ambition, lovelessness, false doctrine, financial dishonesty, sexual immorality, etc. have often been the cause of a loss of trust. But in other cases it wasn't a lack of character; it was the exhaustion of trying to follow incompetence or the boredom of shallow teaching that undermined respect, not only for a particular troubled leader but for the Lord's church in general. If you talk to such people they often ask, “Why wasn't something done about it? Where were the elders? Where was the fear of God? If people who are supposedly so close to God can do something like that, then where is the miraculous change of heart we've been told takes place when someone believes in Jesus Christ?” Those and many more questions like them can keep echoing through a person's mind long after they have been betrayed by church leadership. Painful memories can leave that person in the grip of a deep abiding fear that to come back to God risks falling prey to such people again. The problem is as old as time. Humans have always misused religion. Yet each of us still needs to be part of God's family. We're not designed to function alone. We need shepherds, healthy, God-fearing leaders to heal, protect and train us. That's why every one of us has to find our way between two dangers: the fear of following the wrong humans and the loneliness of not following the right ones.  Is there a way to identify “good shepherds”? Can we be sure that we are following the right ones? If we can answer that question, there are a lot of lost sheep that can come home. Let's listen to Jesus' answer.
