About shepherdbryan

My passion is to disciple and see men discipled in every area of their life to see the multiplication principle actually work in a 100 year generational blessing. As go men in the church, so goes the church. As go men in the nation, so goes the nation. Fortunately, because men have often not taken their spiritual role to the limit, God has raised up many godly women to carry the torch where men have laid it aside. May God rapidly raise up men for the next generation of leaders to the Fourth Generation of spiritual leaders! As men lead in a godly way, women will follow in a godly way and that people will be blessed of the Lord.

As the verdict was read Saturday night, July 13, at 10 pm, I wondered how America would respond?  Continue reading

No Profit from the Prophet
Malachi 3:6-15 
W. B. Riley told the story of a man who had walked the streets of Philadelphia searching for employment.  One day he happened to go into the office of a well-known businessman by the name of Girard.  When he asked for a job, Mr. Girard answered. “Yes, I can give you work.  See that pile of bricks out there?  Carry them over to the other end of the yard and stack them up.”    Continue reading

SGL: What Scripture (version) do I use?

            There are four keys in making disciples.  The four keys are: 1) Biblical Foundation; 2) Intentional Discipleship; 3) Relational Environment; and 4) a Reproducible Process. As the small group has the key purpose to develop prepared disciples, the Bible is the main focus for that Biblical Foundation.  A question people often ask is, “What Scripture (version) do you use?” Continue reading
