We live in a culture that glorifies busyness and treats rest as something you earn after you’ve done enough. In this episode, Sharie explores the first half of Psalm 23:2, unpacking what it means to be led to green pastures by a Shepherd who has designed a rhythm of work and rest into creation— all of creation, including all of humanity, was meant to work and rest like God.

God has a pattern: He chooses shepherds who need the Shepherd. In this episode, we look at two men—Moses and Jesus—whose stories reveal what dependence on God really looks like in the messy, imperfect reality of life. Moses learned self-discipline not through willpower, but through years of trusting God's provision in the wilderness. And Jesus, the King of kings, showed us the ultimate picture of a shepherd-king who surrendered completely to the Father. If you've ever felt like you're not enough for the role God has placed you in, this episode is for you.

What does it really mean to say "The Lord is my shepherd"? In this first episode of In Good Company, we will be learn what it means for God to be our Good Shepherd from Psalm 23:1.David, the authorof this Psalm, shepherded sheep in his early years. Later on God chose David to shepherd the Israel as their king. However, David knew he would fail as a shepherd-king if he without dependence on his Shepherd-King’s provision, care, and protection. David learned the art of self-discipline, of positioning his heart toward God’s favored leadership rather than white-knuckling his way into a life of obedience. In this episode we will see how trust in the Good Shepherd leads to godly self discipline in Psalm 23:1.
