Among the Flock
Among the Flock is a podcast for those who long to walk in truth, guided by the Shepherd's voice. Hosted by Jacob Palmer and Jonathan Whitson, this series explores Scripture—drawing a clear line between the holy and the profane in an age of confusion.
Rooted in the imagery of sheep, shepherds, and the wilderness journey, Among the Flock seeks to equip believers to remain grounded, guarded, and gathered close to Christ. Each episode weaves together biblical teaching, theological reflection, spiritual warnings, and practical wisdom to help believers navigate a world of deception without losing sight of their Shepherd.
Whether unpacking ancient Hebrew concepts, confronting false doctrine, or preparing the flock for the days ahead, Jacob and Jonathan aim to build a spiritual fence of truth—one that protects without imprisoning, guides without controlling, and always points to the King of Kings.
