Held in God’s Hands: Trusting the Voice of the Shepherd

Episode 9 – Held in God’s Hands: Trusting the Voice of the Shepherd

Welcome back to Bakhita’s Blessings, where we open wide our hearts to worship, evangelize, and serve. In this powerful episode, Fr. Mitch and Dr. Alice Prince dive into the comforting and transformative words of Jesus from John 10:27–30:

“My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.”

What does it mean to be known by God? How do we learn to recognize His voice amidst the noise, distractions, and uncertainty of our world? And what assurance can we find in the promise that we are held securely and eternally in God’s hand?

This week’s conversation is a reminder of the deeply personal relationship God desires to have with each of us. Fr. Mitch shares reflections on how the shepherd image calls us to deeper trust, while Dr. Prince explores how this Scripture speaks to those who feel forgotten or lost. Together, they unpack the sacred assurance that we are never outside of God’s loving reach.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why Jesus calls Himself the Good Shepherd
  

• How to recognize the voice of God in everyday life
  

• The significance of spiritual security in a world of anxiety
  

• Stories of faith from the St. Josephine Bakhita Parish community

Whether you’re walking through grief, joy, confusion, or celebration, this episode is a reminder that you belong, you are known, and nothing can separate you from the love of God.

Take a deep breath. God is calling you by name. Are you ready to listen?
