When the Good News Sounds Like Good News Again
What if the problem is not that people are rejecting Jesus… but that modern “church” often no longer sounds like the relational world Scripture itself assumes?
In Episode 11 of Let Nomads Move You!, Ron explores why nomadic peoples historically resonated so deeply with Jesus as the Good Shepherd — and why many people today, both NOMADs and non-nomads alike, are longing for belonging, shared life, and communities that actually move together.
Maybe the Good News starts sounding like Good News again when people rediscover the Shepherd who walks with His flock.
Why Church Can Sound Like Bad News
Why does “church” sometimes sound more like bad news than Good News to nomads and many others around the world?
In this episode of Let Nomads Move You!, Ron reflects from a shepherd’s refuge cave above the Mediterranean on why many NOMADs and NO-ADs may not have rejected Jesus at all — they simply stopped recognizing themselves inside the forms of Christianity they encountered.
From shepherding life and pastoral mobility to the biblical meaning of ekklesia as a gathered people, this episode invites listeners to rediscover the Good Shepherd and the relational world of Scripture through nomadic eyes.
🏠 Is God Even Interested in Buildings?
Lounging in the manicured gardens of Château de Rambouillet — a reminder of how much humans love impressive spaces… and a question: is this what God is most interested in? My nomad friends would be wondering, “Nice place… but can I graze my goats or camels here?”
We had no idea how much we needed to know!
What do you see? A shepherd boy? When presented with a photo like this, we were invited to see the future leader of a nomadic "flock" following the Good Shepherd.
