Ezra/Nehemiah 4: Nehemiah's Mission to Rebuild and Restore

Ezra/Nehemiah 4: Nehemiah's Mission to Rebuild and Restore

Episode 2.19


Walls, Warfare, and Worship


In Episode 4 of our Ezra/Nehemiah series, we follow the bold return of Nehemiah as he hears of Jerusalem’s broken walls and leads a movement of restoration from ruin. Spanning chapters 1–7, this episode traces Nehemiah’s heartfelt prayer, strategic leadership, and relentless faith in the face of both external opposition and internal corruption. We explore the teamwork behind the wall’s rapid reconstruction, the justice issues Nehemiah confronts among the returned exiles, and how faith-fueled resilience empowered a people to finish their task in just 52 days. Through conflict, reform, and organization, God’s hand is clearly seen rebuilding not just a wall—but a nation.
