Joe Wells is a practising Catholic who believes that his work as a shepherd gives him something of a window into the divine, with each day exposing him to cycles of life and death. But although he finds a meaningful resonance between his job and his faith, the day-to-day realities of his all-consuming work are unromantic at best and brutal at worst, leading him to conclude: ‘It's a world you manipulate but you don't control.’ The US filmmaker Vern Moen’s The Shepherd profiles Wells as he tends to his sheep in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. With Wells himself providing a rustic violin score, the sparse and poignant short captures how this millennia-old line of work quietly endures, in many ways unchanged, even in the most industrialised countries.
This guy is living life. Humans aren’t meant for modern city/suburban life, why do u think so many ppl have mental health issues. But this guy, he’s living life, actually living life.
Reminded me so much of why were called the sheep and Gods the shepherd. We are always doing dumb stuff, trying to run away,getting lost, and yet the shepherd always goes for that 1 lost sheep that strayed away❤️♥️
Did you watch The Chosen?
What a beautiful documentary. God reminded me of His love for me as his own. He’s constantly thinking about me. He follows me and takes care of me all the time. He can take it when I’m having a bad day or throw a tantrum. He goes through hard times with me. He feels sad for me when things are hard. He is happy when I’m happy. His love goes deep❤️ love this
“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Psalms 23:1-6 NIV
His grief over the dead lamb really hit me
I love documentaries with people having such vocations
This should have at least 10M views... at least. But the truth is always a gift, so i pray more people will see this and receive it. Amazing documentary.
This is so beautiful. That birth moment is something else🥺
This was a beautiful story to watch.
Bro this is literally my dream job now but I want to do something modern too to make my parents proud
I know you may wish to make your parents proud and might not want them to feel disappointed, but life is too short to spend living for other people. Follow your dreams friend.
Do what brings you joy Ahmed🙏
that was truly beautiful, thank you
HalleluYAH (= Praise Yah) Yeshua / יהרשע was and is the great Shepherd and the only brought forth of the Father Yahweh / יהרה. To Him be all praises. Ahmein and Ahmein.
A great visual of us and Jesus, the Good Shepherd🙌🏼😇 Thank you for that 😊
So beautiful. I wish you would make more like these.
Just love this video I was raised up in the country and my grandfather raised sheep and this video relates to us as gods the s herperdand we are the sheep and the sh eep no the shepherds voice God bless yo u from Lexington Ky
This was a great video, thanks for putting it together!
Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
Amazing
If I were a man I would be a shepherd. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful! 🥺
The Lord is my shepherd...
2:57 "A world you manipulate, but no control over" is such a great way to put into perspective of the way God works. So many think nothing can happen without God's permission but that's not correct because the word says, "God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3-9.
Ah yes, lambing. I grew up with cattle not sheep. Now at age 50+ I live in the woods and make videos now and again.
Do the sleep not get infection if you work with no gloves?
i wanna become a shepherd someday ( first i wanna join the military )
It is not good for man to be alone. I bet you'd be Soo much more happy if you found the right one!
Hes a sheep farmer not a shepherd, im more of a modern shepherd than sheep farmers.
How many sheep to you shepherd?
@@joaquing7003 only 6 dairy sheep 😂 i call it nomadic subsistence dairy shepherding. I “guerrilla-graze” my dairy sheep in vacant lots, fields, orchards etc turning whats already there instantly and consistently into milk..then i turn it into cheese!
If you don’t mind me asking, what exactly is the difference?
But for Adam...no help mate comencrate for him. I will make him a helper.
Nice doc but I really think the amount of religious relations in these comments affect it because religion shouldn’t be brought into these comments just respect for this man’s work and this documentary
What are you talking about? It’s about this man’s religion. It’s in the title “spiritual resonance” lol
please marry me
