The Nehemiah Project Podcast

We all seek purpose and worth as the motivation for what we do. We seek to elevate something with our lives (usually ourselves)! Are you seeking purpose through a meaningful career? Are you seeking to feel worthy by earning love from others? Do you achieve a sense of "I'm good enough" by seeking to be better than someone else, or having the approval of others?  The root of all the problems in your...

This episode of the "What Makes Humans Human" series looks at the dichotomy of the person - outer man v. inner man. We are all made up of both material and immaterial - the body, and the heart and conscience, often called either the soul or the spirit. There have been many different philosophies over the history of mankind about the relationship between body and soul. Some have elevated the import...

This episode continues our series on understanding humanity, and shifts the focus to our Savior - Christ. "Jesus as the Image of God" dives deeply into why it matters that He reveals the fullness of God's character to us.

In Part 2 of our latest series on the nature of humanity, join Chad & Mike for a dive into what it means to be made in the image of God! At the time of our creation, God set man apart from everything else. He made him in His own image, and called him his son.

If you don't see yourself as in need of a Savior, then you p...

Todays Podcast takes a deep dive into what the Bible has to say about successfully defending ones self against all of the attacks of Satan. Ephesians 6:10-20 gives us a perfect picture of exactly how Christians can successfully thwart the enemy battle plan.

You have an enemy, and he's fighting for your mind. The mind is the seat of your cognition, volition, affection and will. All actions are an expression of what is happening in your mind. It is either renewed through the truth of Scripture, or guided by "your own understanding." It is easily corrupted by Satan's schemes. There is hope for winning the battle in the mind, and it starts and ends with...

Is addiction a sin issue, or a disease? Is it a moral issue or behavioral problem? Is it true that "once an addict, always an addict?"
