In this episode, we dive into Nehemiah chapter 8, where Ezra reads the Law to God’s people and they respond with a unified, heartfelt “Amen!” before even hearing the full message. After years of exile and the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls, the people stand, listen, and weep as God’s Word reveals their sin—but then they are told to celebrate, because the joy of the Lord comes after obedience, not before. This episode challenges high school students to trust God, embrace His Word, and discover that real strength and lasting joy come when we surrender first and follow, even before we fully understand the plan.
