  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:02
  Huddle for May 2nd, 2025. Your
• 0:04
  two-minute play of the day for applying
• 0:07
  God's word in your life. So, let's
• 0:08
  huddle up and hear today's play from
• 0:10
  Ezekiel 34, which says, "Son of man,
• 0:13
  prophesy against the shepherds of
• 0:15
  Israel. Prophesy and say to them, this
• 0:18
  is what the Lord says. Woe to you
• 0:20
  shepherds of Israel who only take care
• 0:22
  of yourselves. Should not shepherds take
• 0:24
  care of the flock? You've not
• 0:26
  strengthened the weak or healed the sick
• 0:28
  or bound up the injured. You've not
• 0:30
  brought back the strays or searched for
• 0:32
  the lost. You have ruled them harshly
• 0:34
  and brutally. As surely as I live,
• 0:37
  declares the sovereign Lord. Because my
• 0:39
  flock lacks a shepherd and so has been
• 0:41
  plundered and has become food for all
• 0:43
  the wild animals. And because my
• 0:45
  shepherds did not search for my flock,
• 0:47
  but cared for themselves rather than for
• 0:49
  my flock. This is what the sovereign
• 0:51
  Lord says. I am against the shepherds
• 0:54
  and will hold them accountable for my
• 0:56
  flock. I will remove them from tending
• 0:58
  the flock so that the shepherds can no
• 1:00
  longer feed themselves. I'll rescue my
• 1:03
  flock from their mouths and it will no
• 1:04
  longer be food for them. I will search
• 1:06
  for the lost and bring back the strays.
• 1:09
  I will bind up the injured and
• 1:11
  strengthen the weak, but the sleek and
• 1:13
  the strong I will destroyed. I will
• 1:15
  shepherd the flock with justice. The
• 1:18
  Christian business owner is the shepherd
• 1:20
  of the city sheep. The failure of this
• 1:22
  group to perform their duty is the
• 1:24
  explanation for the poverty our cities
• 1:26
  are experiencing. This is the reality
• 1:28
  for the Christian who is the priest of
• 1:30
  God wherever he lives. As a priest of
• 1:33
  God, he is a shepherd of gods for
• 1:35
  seeking the lost and caring for the
• 1:36
  saved. This responsibility doesn't
• 1:38
  belong to one group of people like the
• 1:41
  Levites under the old covenant, but to
• 1:43
  all Christians under the new covenant in
• 1:45
  which Christians are operating.
• 1:47
  Therefore, Christian business owners are
• 1:49
  especially liable for having people
• 1:51
  under their care to influence more and
• 1:53
  more in the ways of God. And they are
• 1:55
  the leaders of the cities for
• 1:57
  influencing more and more in the ways of
• 1:59
  God. Failure to impact the city is to
• 2:02
  take but not give. It's to leave the
• 2:04
  sheep for plunder to the evil ways of
• 2:06
  society that are normal unless we are
• 2:08
  born again of the spirit. The Christian
• 2:11
  businessman is to shepherd his company
• 2:13
  and his community. He's to care for and
• 2:15
  encourage his employees, customers, and
• 2:17
  vendors toward
• 2:19
  obedience, excuse me, to Jesus as well
• 2:21
  as the city leaders when he takes his
• 2:23
  place in their meetings and they seek
• 2:25
  his input for their objectives. The
• 2:28
  kingdom of God is always the primary
• 2:30
  building objective on earth. as it is in
• 2:32
  heaven by the Christian businessman. To
• 2:34
  whom much is given, much will be
• 2:36
  required. And the Christian businessman
• 2:38
  has been given much in order to
• 2:40
  influence many toward every obedience to
• 2:43
  everything Jesus commands. Christian
• 2:45
  business owners must embrace this role.
• 2:48
  lest our societies continue to crumble.
• 2:50
  But know for certain, God will hold them
• 2:52
  accountable for their efforts toward
• 2:54
  making cities whole and healthy through
• 2:57
  influencing everyone toward obedience to
• 3:00
  Jesus. This.
