The truth is, you canât shepherd numbers. You can only shepherd names. And yet, in a culture obsessed with metrics, many leaders feel trapped, measuring success by attendance, budgets, and fast growth rather than the flourishing of the people God has entrusted to them.
In this episode, Pete unpacks the heart of biblical shepherdingâleading with Jesusâ love, slowing down to be present, and praying over the specific names God has placed under your care. He explains how this dramatic shift, though countercultural and painfully slow, leads to a deeply transformative and spacious life for both shepherds and sheep.
If youâre longing to move beyond hurried leadership into a ministry marked by patience, prayer, and personal connection, this episode is for you. Pete shares four practical ways to shepherd like Jesus and invites you to reflect: Who is on your list?

In todayâs episode, weâre diving into a theme that should resonate with pastors and leaders all around the world. Reflecting on the life and ministry of John the Baptist, weâll explore how to speak with conviction and clarity amidst a world overwhelmed by fear, information overload, and shifting power structures.
Johnâs world was much like oursâfraught with political unrest, corrupt leaders, and widespread anxiety. And yet, it was to him, a voice in the wilderness, that Godâs Word came. He shows us that real leadership doesnât come from platforms or applause but from a place of inner surrender, courage, and freedom from peopleâs approval.
This episode will challenge you to lead with authenticity and to center your life on a slower, deeper spirituality. If youâre feeling called to renew your heart and strengthen your churchâs culture in the midst of todayâs chaos, join us as we learn from John the Baptistâs powerful, countercultural example.
Listen in to reorient, refocus, and be inspired to become an instrument in Godâs hands.
