The Shepherd at Work
About
What do you do when God Himself stops you in your tracks and asks: “If what you believe is true, then why this?”
That’s exactly what happened to Jamal Maxsam. As a teenager, he had a radical encounter with Jesus that shattered deception and changed the trajectory of his life forever. Today, Jamal is a leadership igniter, faith-builder, and author—helping believers step into their calling to lead by faith, walk in the miraculous, and make a Kingdom impact wherever they are planted.
In this episode, Jamal and Krystal dive into:
His powerful Damascus-road style encounter with Jesus in the middle of a spiritualist convention
The red flags leaders need to watch for when the world’s system tries to pull them off course
Why obedience, worship, and surrender are the foundation for Kingdom leadership
A sneak peek into his unreleased book Called Out.
This is not a surface-level conversation—this is real talk about counterfeit spirituality, the miraculous, and how God calls leaders to operate with clarity and courage in a world full of compromise.
If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to lead in the miraculous while keeping your faith at the center of everything you do, this conversation will light a fire in you.
