15. John 10 - The Good Shepherd

Episode 15: The Good Shepherd (John 10)

September 20, 2021 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall

John 10 is all about sheep and shepherds… and recently the church has tried to make this passage all about our modern-day context. But what if John 10 isn’t speaking about the 21st-century at all? What if Jesus was just describing His ministry within the religious context of His day? Well… that type of reading might cause us to rethink this entire passage.
