A Prayer for a Big Ask | Nehemiah 1:1–11

from The Bible Guys · host Jeff Forester & Chris Zarbaugh

Episode 777: In this episode, we begin by reading from the book of Nehemiah, specifically chapter 1. We provide some context about Nehemiah, a cupbearer to King Artaxerxes, who learns about the dire state of Jerusalem after the Jewish people have returned from exile. The city is in ruins, and Nehemiah is deeply moved by this news, leading him to pray and seek permission from the king to return and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
