We pause before Nehemiah to read Haggai, tracing how stalled priorities, thin harvests, and heavy opposition met a simple call: consider your ways, rebuild the temple, and trust that God is with us. We explore procrastination, purpose, and the courage to bring one brick and begin.
• why Haggai speaks into Zerubbabel’s stalled temple project
• how opposition, drought, and discouragement fed delay
• “consider your ways” as a reset of priorities
• God’s promise of presence and greater future glory
• holiness versus contamination in community life
• blessing tied to resumed obedience, not perfect conditions
• practical steps to move from delay to action
Kelsey and I are releasing three books, a whole trilogy at once, and one of them is very much centered on the story of Nehemiah, and a little bit about Haggai, actually, what we're gonna be reading today as well
