In today’s episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, we wrap up Pastor Nick’s powerful message on character, calling, and why the work of God thrives when responsibility is shared — not placed on a few overworked leaders.
Pastor Nick reminds us that every follower of Jesus has a vital role in God’s mission, whether you're leading hundreds, encouraging one person, or serving behind the scenes. God has uniquely gifted you — and He invites you to step in, contribute, and live out “people helping people take their next step with Jesus.”This episode dives into:Why character matters more than charismaMoses, Jethro, and the biblical model of shared leadershipHow Jesus empowered the 12, the 72, and the entire body of ChristWhy there are no sidelines in the kingdom of GodShepherd Church’s updated mission emphasis: People Helping People Take Their Next Step With Jesus✨ Featuring: Pastor NickWe’d love to hear from you!👉 Comment your biggest takeaway👉 Like the video to help others find it👉 Subscribe for more Christ-centered teaching👉 Email us anytime at podcast@shepnaz.orgLearn more about Shepherd Church at shepnaz.org and catch up on weekend messages at shepnaz.org/shepnow.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Welcome to the Shepnaz Podcast 00:26 – Character vs. Charisma 01:21 – God Looks at the Heart 02:24 – Struggling with Inadequacy 03:08 – Competency vs. Character 03:59 – Moses Delegates Responsibility 04:50 – God’s Work Thrives When Shared 05:27 – Jesus Involves His Followers in Ministry 05:51 – The Church as the Body of Christ 06:33 – Gifts for Serving Others 07:13 – Every Christian Has a Contribution 07:43 – Moving from Consumers to Contributors 08:01 – Different Roles, Same Responsibility 08:29 – God’s Kingdom Advances Through Many 09:03 – No More Pew Warmers 09:32 – You Are Important in God’s Mission 10:13 – “People Helping People” Mission Update 10:52 – With Jesus, Not Just Toward Jesus 11:22 – Everyday Opportunities to Serve 12:22 – Pastor Nick’s Final Challenge 12:52 – Invitation to Weekend Services 13:14 – Closing & Contact Information

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
