Seeking to walk in truth amid the noise of the world can feel especially heavy during seasons of transition, burnout, stress, or spiritual reflection. God meets us in each of these moments and invites us to bring Him our real, unfiltered lives. At Sheep & Shepherds, we offer a space of rest and accompaniment, walking alongside you with the deep conviction that healing comes from the Lord—Yahweh, the God who is present and near.
As guides, consultants, trainers, and supervisors, our desire is to serve as vessels for the Lord’s work, remaining attentive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and to the unique needs God already sees and knows. Our work together may include prayer, Scripture, Christian-integrated practices, and creative faith experiences grounded in relationship and discernment.
Creation and animals play a meaningful role in this work, offering tangible reminders of God’s creativity, presence, and care. Ground-based interactions with nature and animals—such as horses, donkeys, or lambs—invite intentional presence, often leading to greater clarity in ministry, relationships, boundaries, and daily rhythms, while deepening awareness of God’s purposes.
