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.

Hey Reader, Last week the Lord placed something on my heart that I was not expecting. He led me to study the impact of scripture writing — really study it. And I had no idea how powerful it was. I reached out to my video editor and told her I felt very strongly that this video needed to go out before June 1st. I am so grateful for a team that prioritizes the voice of God over our schedule. I recorded it. And honestly, at the end I was moved to tears. This is so much bigger than just writing...

Hey Reader, I want to be honest with you about something — and I say this from personal experience more than I'd like to admit. Every year, people start a Bible plan with every intention of finishing. The excitement is real on day one. The consistency holds through the first week. And then somewhere around week two or three, life crowds in. The alarm gets snoozed. The journal sits on the nightstand unopened. The videos pile up unwatched. Not because the desire left — because the preparation...

Reader, I want to show you something before June 1 gets here. Because Summer in the Psalms isn't just a reading plan — it's a rhythm. And coming off our weekly Thessalonians study, daily is going to feel different. Not harder. Just closer. More intimate. One Psalm, one day, one conversation with God at a time. Here's how each day works: 1. Read it. Open your journal and read the Psalm in the KJV — the text is already printed inside for you. No extra books needed. 2. Watch it. Head over to the...
