Shepherds Live http://redeemerabbotsford.org/ Michael Chalmers / Redeemer Bible Church (Abbotsford) mchalmers@redeemerabbotsford.org Michael Chalmers / Redeemer Bible Church (Abbotsford) Shepherds Live hosts Pastors, Preachers, and Professors from around the world to talk about the spread of the Gospel to all nations—one ministry and one local church at a time. We talk about the Bible, missions, theology and practical ministry with shepherds who are on the front lines for the Gospel. You won’t see this on CBC or CNN, the BBC or Fox News, and you won’t read about it in the Vancouver Sun or the Washington Post. These are some of the most important stories of disciple making and Gospel training in modern times. Shepherds Live is a ministry of Redeemer Bible Church, a local church in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada, hosted by Pastor Michael Chalmers, National Administrator for The Master's Fellowship. https://redeemerabbotsford.org https://themastersfellowship.org Shepherds Live hosts Pastors, Preachers, and Professors from around the world to talk about the spread of the Gospel to all nations—one ministry and one local church at a time.

Drawing from Scripture on sin's depravity, Christ's atonement, and eternal hope, discover practical ways to equip youth for cultural engagement, defend biblical values without compromise, and proclaim the gospel that transforms hearts—from relational boldness on campuses to the Master's Fellowship's call to finish well. If you're a pastor, parent, or passionate follower of Christ seeking hope amid chaos, this discussion will inspire you to step up relationally, reject retreat, and trust God's sovereign purposes; watch now, reflect on the justice of Romans 13 and the comfort of John 14.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gm8xhYpTLE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">00:00</a> -

Drawing from Scripture on sin's depravity, Christ's atonement, and eternal hope, discover practical ways to equip youth for cultural engagement, defend biblical values without compromise, and proclaim the gospel that transforms hearts—from relational boldness on campuses to the Master's Fellowship's call to finish well. If you're a pastor, parent, or passionate follower of Christ seeking hope amid chaos, this discussion will inspire you to step up relationally, reject retreat, and trust God's sovereign purposes; watch now, reflect on the justice of Romans 13 and the comfort of John 14.
