Send us Fan Mail What does it truly mean to dedicate something to God? Many of us pray for God’s blessing over our careers, businesses, families and dreams—but biblical dedication goes much deeper than asking for favour. In this episode of Jola Speaks, we explore the true cost of dedication through Nehemiah 12 and discover why surrendering ownership, control, pride and personal ambition is at the heart of living a life fully devoted to God. If you’ve ever struggled to trust God with your plans or wondered what real surrender looks like, this episode will encourage and challenge you. 📖 Scripture: Nehemiah 12 #jolaspeaks @jolaspeaks #christianpodcast #dailydevotion #spiritualgrowth
