(Re)Building: Opposition from Within and Outside the Walls - Jeremiah Nealon

The rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls was not unnoticed or unchallenged. Nehemiah had to lead his people through mockery, threats, schemes, and traps. Most insidious of all, it wasn’t just Jerusalem’s walls that were in cinders, but so was the commitment to God’s justice and mercy. How can Nehemiah’s governance inform how we can tackle today’s challenges? How should we engage in government now? Most importantly, how can Nehemiah’s life of prayer help us live faithfully in anxious political times?
