Ep. 128: Jesus Sends Sheep Among Wolves | Focused on Christ Podcast
In this episode of Focused on Christ, Pastor Nathan Smith joins host Mike Crump to walk through Matthew 10, where Jesus sends out His twelve disciples with power and purpose—but also a clear warning. What does it mean to be "sheep among wolves"? Why would Jesus send His followers into hostile environments? And how should believers respond to fear, persecution, and uncertainty?
We explore:
The significance of Jesus' commissioning of the 12 disciples
The instructions He gives—and why they matter
What it means to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves
How Jesus prepares His followers for suffering and bold proclamation
What these teachings mean for us in the church today
📖 Scripture Focus: Matthew 10:1–33
