Most leadership problems aren’t people problems.
They’re environment problems. Clarity problems. Voice problems. You Don’t Know Sheep reframes leadership through one of Scripture’s oldest metaphors, so pastors and leaders can see how people actually respond under stress, and how calm, clarity and trust shape healthy followership.
This is not a leadership book about doing more. It’s a guide to understanding better.
Drawing from decades of experience growing teams and companies, starting ministries and working alongside churches and business leaders across the country, David began noticing patterns. The same leadership struggles. The same stress responses. The same burnout cycles. Again and again.
You Don’t Know Sheep grew out of those observations, blending story, psychology, theology and lived experience into a practical guide for leaders who want to shepherd well in a distracted world.
