Day 7: Nehemiah 7: How to Protect and Preserve the HOLY people


Hey Reader,

As we continue our journey through the book of Nehemiah, chapter 7 packs a powerful punch!

Though it may appear to be just a list of names and numbers at first glance, there is so much wisdom to glean. Though the physical work was done, Nehemiah knew the people were still vulnerable. They were small in number, still learning to trust God and each other, and needed protection from both physical and spiritual attack.

In today's Bible study video, we unpack three key aspects Nehemiah focused on after completing the wall as he teaches us that great leadership doesn't end when the project is over.

As you watch today's teaching, consider how you can apply these principles in your own life and areas of influence. And don't forget to share what God reveals to you in the comments!

Let's continue to build our firm foundation together, Reader.

Dear Reader, What if the very thing fueling your anxiety is also the pathway to peace? While studying Philippians recently, I realized I had read the same verses on anxiety for years but overlooked something Paul revealed to the church in Philippi. They were under heavy pressure, facing persecution and everyday worries. And right in the middle of their struggles, Paul gave them a framework for peace that still applies to us today. Philippians 4:6–9 (NKJV) says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in...

Hey Reader, As believers, we are called to be salt and light in a world that often feels divided, disoriented, or desperate for truth. But the strength of our witness begins at the well—with a personal encounter with Jesus. That’s why I’m inviting you into this 3-week devotional journey, Well Encounters: Finding Living Water in Unexpected Places. Together, we’ll revisit a moment in John 4 where Jesus, full of grace and truth, engages a woman many had written off. He didn’t shame her. He...
