In this episode of Shepherds of the Wild, filmmaker Tom Opre sits down with Montana rancher and outfitter Matt Wickens to talk about the hard truths facing rural America. From razor-thin ranching margins to the rise of the American Prairie Reserve and the loss of working lands, Wickens lays bare the challenges of keeping family operations alive in a changing landscape. The two discuss the economics of local beef, the value of outfitting to small towns like Winifred, and what "rewilding" really means for those who live on the land.

In this 4-part series we explore how Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, and the Wise Men each said YES to God in the original nativity story. Their responses of surrender, humility, joy, and worship invite us to consider: how will we respond in our own yes moments? Joseph demonstrates a quiet, kind, humility and integrity in the face of confusion and fear. Christmas reminds us that obedience to God often requires courage when we don't fully understand.

The hardest part of parenting isn't the calendar or the carpools—it's knowing when to cheer louder and when to get out of the way. We sit down, shorts weather and all, to unpack the thin line between healthy encouragement and the kind of blind confidence that leaves a kid declaring they're “the best at hockey” after crying through evaluations. From the glass at a rink to the bleachers at gymnastics, we explore what it actually looks like to let kids struggle, self-correct, and choose their own path.Our conversation ranges from back-to-school overload and the hidden cost of over-scheduling to the surprisingly tender lessons inside a messy morning meltdown—including a drywall repair and a real apology. We talk honestly about coaching your own kid versus stepping back so they can hear another voice, the difference between praise that builds grit and praise that inflates ego, and how to set consequences that teach priorities without shaming effort. You'll hear why “shepherds, not engineers” has become our north star, plus practical ways to handle siblings who disrupt cherished rituals, like a peaceful fishing trip that goes gloriously sideways.Whether your child is trading team hockey for solo gymnastics, begging for new basketball shoes without logging reps, or insisting they're “fine” for tests they didn't study for, you'll get tools to navigate motivation, resilience, and repair. Expect candid stories, hard-won strategies, and a reminder that your voice doesn't have to be the loudest to lead. If you're trying to raise grounded, confident kids who can handle feedback and find their drive, press play and join the conversation. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—what's one place you're ready to step back so your kid can step up?

In this 4-part series we explore how Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, and the Wise Men each said YES to God in the original nativity story. Their responses of surrender, humility, joy, and worship invite us to consider: how will we respond in our own yes moments? Mary shows us what it means to receive God's word with humility and faith. The story invites us to behold the humble surrenderer of Mary, who said “yes” to God's impossible plan. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we're so glad you're here.

Lesson 4 - The One Who Shepherds His PeopleMark 6:7-56. Things were speeding up in Christ's ministry; and the disciples were plunged into a steep learning curve in this week's lesson. Thankfully, their teacher was called The Good Shepherd, because things got hard very fast. Their first mission went well; but then they were challenged by the needs of a hungry multitude and another violent storm on the sea — this time without their Master in their boat! How would they respond to the lessons they were given? With belief or unbelief?To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

In this compelling and urgent conversation, Bryan Dawson of 1819 News sits down with Daily Wire culture reporter and bestselling author Megan Basham to discuss her explosive book, Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda. With sharp insight and meticulous research, Basham exposes how secular progressive forces have infiltrated seminaries, evangelical institutions, and churches across America—not merely to influence theology, but to reshape the political and cultural convictions of millions of Christians. Basham lays out a troubling pattern: left-wing organizations, including those funded by George Soros and the Hewlett Foundation, are funneling money through “evangelical” front groups like the Evangelical Immigration Table—entities that appear grassroots but are in fact top-down influence campaigns. Their goal? To convince believers that leftist policies on immigration, climate, race, and even vaccine mandates are not just political stances, but biblical imperatives. Dawson and Basham also explore the downfall of prominent evangelical leaders like Russell Moore, once a conservative icon, now seen as a mouthpiece for progressive causes. From promoting amnesty under the guise of “loving your neighbor” to urging COVID-19 vaccinations as a Christian duty, Moore's trajectory serves as a case study in how influence, prestige, and foundation money have corrupted evangelical leadership. Basham explains how even well-meaning pastors are unwittingly swept into these networks, signing onto statements and participating in campaigns that subtly (or overtly) push progressive policy—often without full awareness of who's funding or driving the agenda. The discussion is a wake-up call to American Christians. The church, as Basham and Dawson argue, is the final obstacle to full-scale cultural conquest by the radical left. If believers don't recognize the war being waged within their own walls, they may lose not just theological clarity, but national influence and moral credibility. This episode calls for spiritual vigilance, cultural awareness, and a bold return to biblical truth in an age of compromise.

Mike Harrelson - October 19th 2025 The Father's heart is for every lost, wandering, and wounded child to come home. This week, Mike continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 18:10–14, revealing the Father's relentless love through the parable of the lost sheep.

There is no pastor and no pastor on the way. What does that mean for the church? Is there a path forward toward health and growth? I believe so, and I believe that at least part of the answer is already in our church. Today we are continuing to look at raising up shepherds from within the church.

Exploring Zechariah: Prophecies, Parables, and Hope - Chapters 9-11 In this lesson, we delve into the profound prophecies of Zechariah chapters 9 to 11. The session opens with Psalm 5, setting a reflective tone, and introduces the historical and prophetic context of Zechariah's messages. We discuss the fulfillment of prophecies, including Alexander the Great's conquest and the symbolism of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The lesson also touches on the coming troubles described in Zechariah and the analogy involving shepherds, reflecting the spiritual leaders' roles and responsibilities.

Since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk last month, pastors across America have been turning their spiritual guns on one another . . . condemning and criticizing how others responded to his death. Some have even gone so far as to call pastors cowards, question their calling, and pressure people to leave their churches.But here's the truth: when pastors preach their personal convictions as though they were Bible absolutes, they cross a line. It doesn't build the church — it sows division, condemnation, and pride in the Body of Christ.This month on the podcast, Dean addresses the issue head on and brings balanced truth from God's Word to remind us as shepherds: “My convictions guide me. Bible absolutes ground me. But love must govern me.”

In today's episode of the Center for Baptist Leadership podcast, William Wolfe sits down with Marc Minter, to discuss how the SBC and SBTC are handling Fielder Church, which has female pastors renamed as "shepherds."   Marc Minter has served as the Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church Diana, in Diana, Texas, since 2014.

Soddy church of Christ

Canon Press, the publishing arm of Pastor Douglas Wilson's ministry, made an unsolicited and unsuccessful offer to buy Christianity Today (CT) for $10 million. CT responded by saying the magazine “is not for sale and has never been for sale.” That has gotten Warren Smith thinking about the dissident right and the role of journalism. Here is a link I mentioned in today's program: Warren's review of the 2024 book “Shepherds for Sale.”

Fr. Mike discusses God's instruction to the people of Israel not to marry women from foreign lands. He explains why God would provide this instruction and how Ezra reacted when he discovered that many prominent Israelites had not obeyed it. He also identifies the prophecies of Palm Sunday and the thirty pieces of silver found in Zechariah. Today's readings are Ezra 9-10, Zechariah 9-11, and Proverbs 20:16-19.
