Chapters 11 and 12 show off Nehemiahs organizational skills. Boring? Hardly. What ensues is a processional worship service for the ages. It starts with going where God calls, then doing what God calls, and then giving Him all the glory.

Is unbusy a word? It is now...and we discuss, among other things, how Brian keeps a loose schedule with a full-time job and a wife, and 4 kids. 

The temple is rebuilt, the walls are rebuilt, and now the people of Judah turn their attention to their hearts once again. Upon hearing the scriptures read, they get introspective, and change their lives.

It's the cutting room floor. We take the pieces we left off the sermon and discuss them here. Enjoy. 

Nehemiah shows what a godly leader does when faced with social injustce. Guided by prayer and knowing scriptures, Nehemiah's example is something we can follow, even through difficult opposition.

What's your take on stuffing? More importantly, are you doing what God's calling you to do, or just whatever you feel like? 

Opposition is going to hit us in life. We can learn from Nehemiah how to respond when we face opposition.

What does it look like to actually get involved? How would our world change? How would we change? We wouldn't just be surviving anymore, we'd be thriving and in God's will for our lives. 

Before God begins a work ABOUT something, he begins a work IN someone. Nehemiah, a man with a cushy job in the palace of Persia, answered the call because of a longing in his heart for a place he'd never been.

We discuss what it means to fast, why we fast, and what are some responses to fasting. *NOTE* Brians mic was cutting out about halfway through the podcast. Our apologies.
