"Why Am I Still Stressed?” |  Experiencing God's Grace | Romans 5:1 with Steph Blair 

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”

In this episode, Ash and Steph unpack what this powerful image really means. Jesus doesn’t just describe Himself as a shepherd—He shows us the depth of His love, protection, and sacrifice for His people.

But the conversation doesn’t stop there. If Jesus is the Good Shepherd, what does that mean for the way we live? As Christians, we’re called to follow Him, become like Him, and help others follow Him too.

Together we talk about discipleship, what it actually looks like to walk alongside people in real life, and why caring for others spiritually can be messy, sacrificial, and deeply meaningful.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to make disciples, care for people, and live like Jesus, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to step into that calling.
