What God has stirred in Nehemiah's heart now moves him to take his first action.

September 21, 2025 - Nehemiah 1:4-11.

Today we look at what Nehemiah's first response is when he encounters crisis. As a great leader you might think it would be strategy but instead it's prayer. We explore how prayer grounds us in God, why it must come before our activity for Him, and how Nehemiah's prayer gives us a blueprint for our own.

Nehemiah starts with an ordinary man living an ordinary life and a simple question about how his people are doing leads to devastating news: God’s people are vulnerable, God’s city lies in ruins. In turn, Nehemiah’s heart is broken.

But instead of becoming cynical or critical, Nehemiah turns to God. He weeps, he mourns, he fasts, and he prays. His disruption becomes an awakening—a moment where God shakes him in order to shape him.

From Nehemiah’s story, we learn how God often uses what disrupts us to awaken us.

August 3, 2025 - Psalm 19 offers a poetic reflection on how God reveals Himself to the world, not merely to inform us, but to transform us. This divine revelation moves beyond knowledge, calling us into a deeper, life-changing encounter with the Creator.
