A shepherd, quite simply, is one who tends to his sheep. The shepherd guides, directs, defends, and feeds his flock. His existence is wrapped up in making sure they are where they’re supposed to be—and that they’re kept alive.
Traditionally, being a shepherd could be a lonely and even dangerous job. Young sheep, in particular, are vulnerable targets for predators.
This Pastor Appreciation Month, I’ve been considering how God’s Word draws parallels between pastors and shepherds. Particularly, I’ve been struck by Acts 20:28–30 and 1 Peter 5:2–4. There are a few things we learn from these Biblical passages:
Pastors are called by the Holy Spirit to shepherd their flock.
Acts 20:28 says, “Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood” (NKJV).

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
