What do you do when you come back and find everything you worked so hard to build unraveling? Nehemiah faced exactly that in Chapter 13—and he didn’t stay silent. From clearing out the temple to reestablishing tithes, honoring the Sabbath, and confronting compromising relationships, Nehemiah took decisive action to restore order, holiness, and accountability among God’s people.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why spiritual integrity requires vigilance, even after a major victory
  • How compromise creeps in—and how to confront it with love and courage
  • The connection between obedience and sustainable community life
  • What it looks like today to stand firm in your values without losing compassion

Nehemiah’s story closes not with fanfare, but with a sober and needed reminder: revival must be protected if it’s going to last.
