Most of us sense that there is so much more for us to discover and do in this life, but we are not sure how to find our way. The Bible tells us that there is a spiritual path that will lead us to become who we were designed to be and live the life we were meant to live. But how can we find that path and live the life we were meant to live? Jesus invites us to follow Him on the path of discipleship that leads to the fulfillment of our destiny. Good Shepherd exists to help people find their way along this path, following Jesus. The Pathways Seminar Series is designed to help you take critical steps on that spiritual journey.
