During a recent mission trip with a team from Good Shepherd, I had the extraordinarily good fortune to sit once again under the teaching of James-Michael Smith. James-Michael is a former staffer and current member of Good Shepherd while also developing an itinerant...
Along with Wayne Hobson, our Pastor of Congregational Care, I am currently on a teaching team in South Asia. To know Wayne is to love Wayne, and here is some of what I've learned from him when he takes us through First Peter. The beauty of God's word is that it never...
Did you know that over the last decade the people of Good Shepherd have given more than $700,000 to fight human trafficking? Did you know the more people are in slavery around the world today than at any other time in human history? Did you know that the scourge of...
