Episode Details

After the wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt, the question wasn’t just what now?—it was who? Nehemiah 11 records the names of people who willingly moved into the city to reestablish its heart and protect its future. They weren’t all leaders or heroes. Some were priests. Others were gatekeepers. Many were simply faithful.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why every role matters in rebuilding a community—even the quiet ones
• What it means to volunteer when no one is watching
• The courage it takes to step into uncomfortable or overlooked positions
• How ancient lists of names tell a modern story of purpose and obedience

If you’ve ever wondered whether your contribution makes a difference, Nehemiah 11 reminds us that God sees the people who say yes, even when it costs something.
