Seeing the Good Shepherd: A Sermon on John 10:1-10

I've been a Christian all my life, but I didn't truly understand what that meant until I was in my 40s. Then, the love of Christ and the Holy Sprit transformed my life one evening...
Throughout my journey as a technical leader and executive, the values of stewardship, vocation, and integrity have remained central to my professional and personal life.
My path has been shaped not only by decades of engineering and leadership experience but also by a foundation laid in the Lutheran tradition during my youth. The grace received through baptism as an infant and the commitment made during my confirmation were pivotal milestones.
These early experiences instilled a sense of purpose and a "theology of the cross" perspective that views challenges as opportunities for growth and service. This upbringing profoundly influenced my decision to pursue a career in technology—viewing innovation as a way to solve complex problems and serve the neighbor—and ultimately guided my path as a Christian.
