SQ Shepherd/Shepherding Module

Description

In this module we will explore shepherding – starting with it’s theological roots. Then the focus will be recognizing Jesus as the Good Shepherd in Week 2, moving into shepherding functions of the church in Week 3 and finally into an exploration of an individual shepherd’s calling in Week 4.
