That is exactly where Nehemiah is this week.

📢The wall is built.⠀
⠀
📢Jerusalem is populated. ⠀
⠀
📢Nehemiah has successfully restored the people to a better place with God. It is time to rejoice and dedicate the wall. Imagine a massive party with song, music and people singing. ⠀
⠀
But should we only worship when life is good. ⠀
⠀
Join Muriel Gregory and Jennifer Wake as they closeout the book of Nehemiah with the celebration and a reminder that we do don't have to build a wall to celebrate and worship the lord for our accomplishes and blessings. 

Whether we admit it or not, our family has molded us into who we are today. 

This week Kelli Baker is back with Muriel Gregory as they continue through the book of Nehemiah.  Muriel reminds us the importance of remembering and knowing our history so we do not repeat the mistakes of our past.  Kelli shares how her past and family history has impacted who she is in today.  She encourages us to acknowledge past and be aware of how it influence who we are becoming.   

This week may stir up many emotions.  We encourage you to share with a trusted friend or seek professional help, if needed.

The wall was finished but Nehemiah was well aware that his job was not over.  He needed to protect what had been built. Jerusalem needed to be populated and God's people needed a revival.  

You made it through your term of leadership with a few bumps and bruises.  Now what?  Do you retreat?  Or do you continue to lead through mentorship and support?

Join Muriel Gregory and Jennifer Wake for week four of RISE UP Awaken the Leader in You. 

A great cry arose among the Jews.  They were being oppressed, not by their enemy but by their own people.  Hearing of the injustice, Nehemiah did not hesitate to take action.  Nehemiah displayed holy anger against their sin.  He was not concerned with what was popular.  He was a true leader, he stood for what was right. 

As a leader when you see injustice how do you respond?

Join Muriel Gregory and Kelli Baker for week three of RISE UP Awaken the Leader in You. 

Upon arriving in Jerusalem, Nehemiah faced strong opposition and the harsh reality of a fallen city.  Even though he was fully confident in his calling and demonstrated great faith in God , he would not accomplish much without the dedicated supporters. 

Just like Nehemiah need all "boots on the ground" to rebuild the wall.   We need a tribe at the wall with us elbow to elbow. 

Join Muriel Gregory and Melissa Hicks for week two of RISE UP Awaken the Leader in You. 

Few of us will ever get the call to lead a king's army against an enemy. However, at some point we will sense a burden for a cause, a person, a country, or a situations.  At some point, we all have a place at the wall.
