Go deeper with our new book, The Rubble and the Wall: Sharing God's Heart to Restore What's Broken, available on Amazon or outloudbible.com

We talk through Nehemiah’s rebuilding story and why resistance often shows up the moment we step into the work God puts on our hearts. We name the discouragement tactics that try to turn into doubt and lay out how learning God’s voice helps us keep going. 
• Nehemiah as a picture of restoring what’s broken 
• why opposition is expected when we push back darkness 
• Sanballat and Tobiah’s mockery as a playbook for discouragement 
• attacks on value and strength as spiritual warfare themes 
• questioning clarity and minimizing the mission 
• overemphasizing rubble and damage to create hopelessness 
• disparaging the quality of our work and redefining excellence 
• the difference between discouragement and doubt 
• learning to recognize God’s voice through Scripture and prayer
