So why Hooks2Crook. For years, I enjoyed being called a fisherman for Jesus. Fishing with my family means catch and release. I implemented the same method as a fisherman for Jesus, catch and release. However, the Lord had another task for me. In John 21:3-19, after the crucifixion of Jesus, Peter regressed to what he knew and was comfortable with, fishing. Jesus appears on the beach and spells out Peter’s real ministry. "Feed my lambs, Tend my sheep, Feed my sheep" this response from Jesus illustrated to a stubborn fisherman his new ministry requirements. Jesus desires us to work in His family trade, herding sheep. As a shepherd, we are required to care for our flock. Our flock consists of people God entrusts us to walk, protect, and lead as they grow in their faith. Discipleship is another word describing the work of a Spiritual shepherd. Hooks2Crook hopes to inspire other fishermen to lay down their fishing pole for a shepherd’s crook. The blogs are designed to encourage and equip other shepherds who might be struggling, like myself, to say YES to the transformation of a shepherd.
