In this brief sermon‑style YouTube short, Paul Woodley contrasts thieves and robbers—who come to steal—with the shepherd’s role. He references verse 5 (likely from John 10) which says a stranger will not be followed by the sheep and that they will flee from him. Woodley uses this imagery to illustrate that the sheep (believers) recognize and reject a false leader, fleeing from anyone who is not the true shepherd. The core message is that true spiritual leadership is distinguished from theft and deception, and that the faithful will not follow a stranger but will run from him.
