The book of Nehemiah is awesome. It details the spiritual life and civic leadership of one of histories great Cultural Reformers. It is often taught from the vantage point of “leadership principles” or “the importance of prayer” in a leaders life. There is much to be learned from this.
However, the book is not often viewed through the vantage point of the “Stages of Cultural Restoration” and most importantly the different types of resistance that the leader and believers will face when they are following God and trying to reform society.
This presentation was done for another organization and is about 40 min long with Q/A after that. This is a longer format than usual for this site, but we want to get it up here now before we break it down into 3-8 min long segments.
