Rethink & Return with Jason Shepperd

This episode covers formation beneath the surface, deep conviction shaped by theology not trends, and the kind of leadership that actually lasts. In a leadership conversation with Rob Wagner, we talk about the hidden cost most leaders are never warned about, crucifixion before influence, and why sustainable fruit only comes from abiding. This is a word for leaders who are more concerned with being faithful than being seen, and who want a life and ministry that can endure over time.

This episode covers a conversation with Josh Hussman of Mercy Road Church and Multiply Indiana on leadership shaped by loss and faithfulness.

Josh reflects on planting a church, the loss of a child early in ministry, and how that season reshaped his understanding of calling, success, and endurance. They talk about suffering, perseverance, and what it means to keep leading without becoming hardened.

This episode covers power, godliness, and the claim Scripture makes without softening it. God has already given everything needed for life and godliness. Not eventually. Not after growth. Not after maturity. The conversation presses on why believers live beneath what has been given, how excuses quietly replace faith, and why sanctification is not about trying harder but living from what is already true. This is not shame. It is hope. And it leaves no room to pretend power is unavailable.

“A Church of House Churches: An Articulated and Applied Ecclesiology”: https://a.co/d/0vgpSjV

This episode covers the opening words of 2 Peter by slowing down to consider the man God chose to speak through. Before doctrine, warning, or instruction, Peter introduces himself as a servant and apostle shaped by failure, restoration, and long obedience to Jesus. Written near the end of his life, these verses carry the weight of a man who knows who he is, why he believes, and where his hope rests. Understanding Peter’s identity, calling, and transformation matters because Scripture did not come through abstractions, but through real people carried along by the Spirit. If we want to read this letter rightly, we have to begin by listening to the voice behind it.
