Episode 85 (Nehemiah 1)

In this episode, we explore Nehemiah chapter 1, picking up the story where Ezra left off—after the Temple has been rebuilt and worship has returned, but Jerusalem’s walls remain broken and the people are vulnerable and discouraged. When Nehemiah hears the news, he doesn’t ignore it or minimize the damage; he weeps, fasts, prays, and confesses, owning the sin that led to the destruction and trusting God’s promise to restore what’s been broken. This episode connects Israel’s history after the exile with real-life struggles we face today, showing that true rebuilding doesn’t start with bricks or strength, but with honesty, repentance, and faith in a God who keeps His promises.
