    How Biblical Truth gets Twisted to Justify Anything

    What happens when Scripture is reshaped to fit the culture instead of guiding it? Michael Morisi and Shane Bost discuss the growing confusion around Christian identity and biblical truth—and why church leaders must meet that confusion with courage and faithfulness.The conversation examines how people can use Bible verses to justify beliefs they already hold, and contrasts reading Scripture in context with forcing personal agendas into it. Michael and Shane also discuss the church’s responsibility to teach the whole gospel, address difficult issues, and love people enough to speak truth—even when it is uncomfortable.Drawing on passages from Jude, 1 John, Ezra, and Revelation’s message to the church in Ephesus, they reflect on false teaching, spiritual drift, and the need to return to a first love for God. They challenge pastors to resist people-pleasing, stay focused on their calling, and prepare their congregations to follow Jesus—not simply to come back next Sunday.Apologies for abrupt ending….technical issues.  We are beginning in our Lynchburg studio later this month with a full time Producer.  Looking forward to that. Thanks for tuning in.   Contact us at unshakableshepherds.com#ChristianTruth #BiblicalWorldview #ChurchLeadership #FaithOverCulture #UnshakableShepherds

    Hidden Dangers of Pride

    Pride can be harder to spot than we think. It may show up as self-reliance, defensiveness, resentment when others are recognized, or an unwillingness to accept correction. In this episode of *Unshakable Shepherds*, Michael Morisi and Shane Bost explore how pride can hinder spiritual growth, leadership, and relationships—and why surrendering to God brings a different kind of freedom.Through candid stories from ministry and family life, Michael and Shane discuss the difference between healthy gratitude and pride, how our response to correction can reveal what’s in our hearts, and why seeking applause or comparing ourselves with others can distract us from serving faithfully. They turn to Scripture—including Proverbs, James 4:6, Luke 18, Philippians 2, and John 3:30—to reflect on humility, repentance, and the example Jesus set as a servant.If you’ve struggled to ask for help, admit you were wrong, or celebrate someone else’s success, this conversation offers a thoughtful place to start. The hosts close with a simple challenge: ask Jesus to search your heart, expose pride, and help you choose His will over your own.#unshakableshepherds#jesus #boldfaith #pride

    Who is Leading the Flock

    Silence is surrender, and too many Christians have surrendered the public square. Michael and Shane confront the cost of that silence and makes the case that shepherds, pastors, and everyday believers cannot keep treating life, marriage, truth, and voting like optional side issues.What starts as a recap of a pastors' gathering quickly turns into a blunt challenge to the modern church: if culture is discipling people through emotion, fear, and TikTok theology, who is actually leading the flock? Shane pushes back on the idea that Christians should stay neutral on the abortion and marriage amendments in Virginia, arguing that biblical conviction belongs in the pulpit, at the kitchen table, and in the voting booth.You’ll hear:- Why "Christian" has become a self-applied label with almost no accountability- Why many churches have drifted into an attractional model instead of a missional one- How fear of elders, donors, and conflict keeps pastors from teaching hard truths- Why objective truth matters more than personal feelings when Scripture is clear- The difference between being nice and being truly kind, biblical, and courageousMichael and Shane  also gets practical about shepherding, from the role of church leadership and elder qualifications to the responsibility of fathers, husbands, and men to protect their homes from cultural confusion. Along the way, he returns again and again to Ezekiel 34 and the image of the negligent shepherds who feed themselves while the sheep are scattered and vulnerable.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who loves the local church but is tired of weak preaching, passive Christianity, and quiet compromise. If you’re ready for a stronger, Scripture-centered vision of what it means to lead, vote, and live like a follower of Jesus, this conversation will challenge you to stand up, speak out, and refuse to bow to fear.#unshakableshepherds #jesus  #boldfaith

    What happens when we Fear People more than God

    What happens when you fear people more than you fear God? Before David was ever anointed in 1 Samuel 16, Saul made a devastating admission in 1 Samuel 15:24: **“I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.”** That confession reveals the heart of this powerful contrast between two kings. In this episode of **Unshakable Shepherds**, Michael Morisi and Shane Bost unpack the story of Saul and David and the leadership lessons that still speak directly to pastors, fathers, men, and believers today. Saul had the position, but David had the anointing. Saul was protecting his throne while God was preparing David in obscurity. David was overlooked by people, but seen by God—and even after being anointed, he didn't manipulate his way into the palace. He served, waited, worshiped, and trusted God's timing. We talk about: • Why partial obedience is still disobedience • The danger of fearing people more than God • Why God looks at the heart rather than outward appearance • What God develops in seasons of obscurity • The difference between being anointed and being appointed • How insecurity can destroy leadership • Why you don't have to manipulate your way into God's calling • What pastors and Christian leaders can learn from Saul's failure and David's preparation **“David didn't need to take Saul's crown. He needed to trust the God who had already anointed his head.”** Maybe you're in a pasture season right now. Keep serving. Keep worshiping. Keep obeying. God knows exactly where you are. And if God has anointed your head, you can trust Him with the crown. **Scripture:** 1 Samuel 15:22–24; 1 Samuel 16 Subscribe to **Unshakable Shepherds** for biblical conversations about faith, leadership, culture, courage, and becoming the men and shepherds God has called us to be. #UnshakableShepherds #DavidAndSaul #1Samuel16 #BiblicalLeadership #ChristianMen #Pastors #Obedience #David #KingSaul #ChristianPodcast

    What Kind of Christian Are You When Courage Costs You?

    What kind of Christian are you when following Jesus actually costs you something? In this episode of **Unshakable Shepherds**, Pastor Michael Morisi takes an honest look at three kinds of Christians we see in today's culture: *The Complacent Christian* — sees what's happening but stays comfortable on the sidelines. *The Cowardly Christian* — knows the truth but remains silent because speaking may cost relationships, reputation, influence, or acceptance. *The Courageous Christian* — stands firmly on biblical truth while refusing to surrender love, grace, or compassion. This isn't about being angry at the culture. It's about asking ourselves a much more personal question: *When truth becomes unpopular, will I still stand?* Michael also speaks directly to pastors about the responsibility to address the issues confronting people today. The pulpit should never become a political campaign platform—but neither should biblical truth become off-limits simply because politicians have decided to debate it.

    What Every Virginia Christian Needs to Know Now

    Virginia Is at a Defining Moment Virginia is at a defining moment—and the choices before us touch some of the most foundational questions of our culture and our faith. In this episode, we examine the upcoming constitutional amendments through the lens of biblical values and God's design for human life, marriage, family, and the protection of children. What does Scripture teach about the sanctity of life? Why does marriage matter? What is the God-given responsibility of parents? And how should we think about protecting women and children in a rapidly changing culture? This is a call to biblical clarity, courage, and conviction. The Church cannot afford to remain silent when foundational truths about human dignity, family, and the next generation are being challenged. Pastors, ministry leaders, parents, and believers are invited into a thoughtful conversation about what it means to faithfully live out biblical convictions in a defining moment for Virginia. The question is not simply what our culture says. The question is: What has God designed, what does His Word teach, and will we have the courage to stand on those truths? Join Pastor Jonathan Falwell, Pastor Gary Hamrick and Bishop EW Jackson at upcoming Stand for Life & Marriage events to make sure you're informed about the truth behind these amendments.

    Men are Being Lied To

    We live in a generation where every opinion is treated as truth and every worldview is considered equally valid. Our culture says, "Live your truth." Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Those are two completely different foundations. Today we're asking a question every Christian must answer: How do we stand firmly on biblical truth in a world filled with competing worldviews? Unshakableshepherds.com
