Do you follow Jesus this close? Pastor Katy Wheat Borhauer of Church of the Messiah UMC in Westerville, Ohio, takes a fresh look at Psalm 23, one of the most beloved passages in the Bible. Starting with a road-trip game of car bingo and a well-known bumper sticker, she invites us to hear the Shepherd's Psalm as a promise for our everyday lives here and now. Along the way, we learn why sheep are smarter (and stinkier) than we think, why we're more like them than we'd admit, and how Jesus fulfills the psalm as the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep (John 10). Everyone follows someone or something: a news feed, a fear of not being enough, a schedule, a voice that promises to give us what we lack. This message asks whether the shepherd we're following is good, and speaks honestly about the dark valleys of anxiety, grief, and doubt. Psalm 23 doesn't promise certainty or control. It promises presence, provision, belonging, and a God whose goodness and mercy pursue us. Whether you're following Jesus for the first time or coming back again, you are invited to let him be your Good Shepherd.
