SheepFeast has launched a groundbreaking weekly event called The Corral Call, a live gathering where individuals passionate about discipleship can connect, learn, and share insights on making disciples. Hosted by Mark Rowan and featuring Dr. Je Hammonds, this interactive session is a cornerstone of SheepFeast’s mission to empower believers in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Meet the Hosts
Mark Rowan, the founder of SheepFeast, brings a wealth of experience in communications and marketing. Growing up on a sheep farm, he developed a deep understanding of shepherding, which now inspires the mission of SheepFeast.
Dr. Je Hammonds is a serial entrepreneur and former Pentagon budget manager with over 20 years of leadership experience. He has served in the Air Force Reserves and is a seasoned minister who has taught, mentored, and preached globally. His expertise in Taekwondo also reflects his disciplined approach to leadership and discipleship.
The Heart of SheepFeast
Founded in 2018, SheepFeast has evolved as its team follows God’s direction. The primary goal is to facilitate and amplify the work of individuals called to make disciples. The Corral Call serves as a hub where people can share their gifts and experiences, creating a dynamic space for spiritual growth and community building.
SheepFeast’s mission aligns with John 21:17, where Jesus commands Peter to “feed my sheep.” The platform is designed to help individuals and organizations feed, lead, and tend to their communities, equipping them with the tools necessary for impactful discipleship.
Encouragement on Faith
Faith is central to discipleship, and this week’s encouragement was inspired by Bill Johnson’s book, “When Heaven Invades Earth.” The discussion highlighted how unbelief often stems from placing faith in an inferior reality—the natural realm—rather than in God’s supernatural nature.
Key takeaways included:
- Faith is superior to intellect.
- To experience the supernatural, we must look beyond what we see.
- The natural realm should not anchor our belief but serve as a stepping stone to deeper faith.
Discipleship Tip from John 21
Discipleship isn’t about creating programs; it’s about relationships. Dr. Je shared insights from John 21, where Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves Him. The takeaway? Keeping our eyes on Christ naturally leads to discipleship. True discipleship flows from our relationship with Jesus and extends into the lives of others.
The Role of the Corral Call in Building Community
The Corral Call isn’t just another Zoom meeting—it’s a community-driven initiative where:
- Participants can share ideas and engage in discussions.
- Everyone has something to contribute, and collective wisdom is valued.
- Executive coaching opportunities, both free and paid, help individuals grow in their calling.
The culture of this gathering emphasizes making each other better, strengthening discipleship efforts, and ensuring everyone’s contributions matter.
