The book of Nehemiah continues the story from the book of Ezra. Nehemiah tells of the third return of Jews from Exile to Jerusalem with the goal of rebuilding the city's walls and gates. But Nehemiah faced challenges from external opponents and from within God's people. Like Ezra, the book is full of some of the Bible's greatest moments of celebration but also complications and disappointments. In today's episode, we explore the book of Nehemiah, its themes, and lessons for believers today.
