Every wall that’s ever been built started with faith — not blueprints. But the kind of faith that rebuilds broken things? It’s gritty, persistent, and courageous.

In A Faith That Overcomes, Pastor Josh continues the Building Beyond series, showing how Nehemiah moved from burden to bold faith.

Faith that rebuilds is not just emotional — it’s enduring. It keeps praying, keeps building, and keeps believing even when resistance comes.

Main Idea: Faith builds and battles at the same time.

Main Topics Covered:

1. Faith Starts with the Word

2. Faith Encounters Resistance

3. Faith Is Declared

4. Faith Is Contagious

5. Faith Builds and Battles Simultaneously

Practical Life Applications:

- Anchor your faith in the Word; let prayer frame your response to resistance.

- Expect opposition — but let it strengthen conviction, not steal momentum. 

- Speak faith out loud — your words can steady your heart.

- Remember your example matters: faith is transferable.

- Keep your trowel and your sword — build and battle with equal resolve.

Key Takeaway

- Faith doesn’t wait for perfect conditions; it builds through imperfect ones.

-God is constructing something through your battle — and forming something in you at the same time.

-Faith builds and battles at once, and both are holy work.
