S1 Ep 4What to do With Opposition
Nehemiah 4 is a history of opposition. One might think that with the blessing of a powerful king and a commission from the King of Kings that all would go easy for Nehemiah. But, no, mockery and opposition wait for Nehemiah in Jerusalem, even as the people band together to repair the walls. Nehemiah 4 provides a guide for dealing with opposition.

S1 Ep 3All In!
Nehemiah 3 the work of rebuilding the wall that was placed on Nehemiah's heart in chapter 1 and whose risks were overcome by God in chapter 2. Though Nehemiah may be the great leader, what is clear is that everybody is to lend their time, their treasures, their talents. Everyone is called to be "All In!" since there is no bench-warming in the Kingdom of God.

S1 Ep 2Nehemiah’s Mission
Nehemiah has a mission, a calling. Like our own callings, it’s fraught with opportunity and challenge. But when God calls someone to do something, he always provides, even sometimes through the most unlikely means.

S1 Ep 1Broken Hearts for Broken Lives
The book of Nehemiah begins with a broken situation and a heart that breaks for the world to be right. Nehemiah sits in the mess, in the trouble, the shame and the sadness of it all, but he isn’t alone. God meets him there and from there we get the glimpse of what God might do through him.
