Hey there, Reader! As we come close to the end of our study in the book of Nehemiah, I want to draw your attention to a powerful lesson from Nehemiah Chapter 12 - the importance of worship in the rebuilding process. In today's video teaching, we unpack how Nehemiah establishes a standard of worship for the holy people. Holy people worship. They express their thanksgiving through worship and dedicate themselves to the God who helps them complete the work He calls them to. Worship and the completion of God's work go hand in hand. When God does something great in our lives or brings something to completion, we are to worship Him. All through the process, we worship, because that is what we were created to do. I encourage you to watch the full teaching on Nehemiah Chapter 12 and continue the conversation in the comments. And if you haven't already, be sure to download the companion study guide to enhance your personal study time! Remember, you are part of a holy history, whether you are continuing it or just beginning. Let's dedicate ourselves to carrying His presence and worshipping Him every step of the way.

Either way, this Monday morning is an invitation back to the Word. No guilt about what was missed. Just an open journal and one more Psalm. Before we jump into this week's readings, can I ask you something? How is Summer in the Psalms going for you? Some of...
Reader, The middle of a journey has its own particular weight. The beginning had momentum. The end has a finish line in sight. But the middle — week four, day twenty-two — is where you find out what you're actually made of. If you're here, reading this, still in it — that matters more than you know. Last week, we followed David from the wilderness of Judah into worship, watching remembrance become the bridge between longing and praise. The seed we planted: when you cannot feel God's nearness,...
Reader, Three weeks of mornings given to the Word. You may not feel the cumulative weight of that yet — but something is shifting in you, whether you can name it or not. The Psalms that felt like ancient poetry at the beginning of June are starting to feel like language. Language for things you've been carrying that you didn't have words for before. That is not accidental. That is the Word doing what only the Word can do when you give it consistent, unhurried access to your heart. Last week,...
