In this episode, Drew launches a brand new study by examining God’s design for the home. The home is such a vital part of society; in fact, as the home goes, so goes the world!

In this episode, Drew concludes Season 6 of Weathering the Storm by considering the closing statement of the Book of Nehemiah: “Remember me, O my God, for good!” This statement, uttered by Nehemiah, is a great testament to his faith and dependence on God. A Season 7 preview will also be given at the end of the episode so please listen in to find out where Drew will go next!

In this episode, Drew considers the phrase, “God turned the curse into a blessing” and makes application to the storms we face today. Sometimes, we may think that it is a curse, when in reality, God means for it to be a blessing to our lives (Gen. 50:20)

In this episode, Drew uses a statement made about the priests and Levites and brings in a modern-day application for “priests” today (1 Pet. 2:5, 9-10). In view of the storms of life that will inevitably be coming our way, we are to be pure and maintain that purity come what may.

In this episode, Drew examines the oath that the people made in which they made a united effort to stay true to God. When we face the storms of life, it is so important that we make our minds up “before the first rain drop” that we will “trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding” (Prov. 3:5-6)

In this episode, Drew concludes his series on the prayer offered to God in which He was recognized and exalted for being faithful to His people. This serves as an important reminder for God’s people today!

In this episode, Drew examines a beautiful prayer in which God is addressed and sins are confessed. The people “confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers” while recognizing God’s steadfast love and faithfulness through it all.

In this episode, Drew concludes a small two-part series by describing the attitudes of those who heard the Law of God. Understanding the words, action was taken which serves as a pattern for us to follow today as we are guided by God’s Word (Psa. 119:105).

In this episode, Drew examines the return of the captives (Ch. 7), but also the spiritual revival that took place when the Law of God was opened, read, and received. This episode serves as Pt. 1 in a small series underlying the importance of “staying in the Book” before, during, and after the storms of life.

In this episode, Drew discusses the importance of glorifying God when the storm passes by. The wall was completed in 52 days and largely in part to God’s providence but also Nehemiah and the others submitting to God and trusting in Him. May this episode serve as a reminder that God is to be praised and honored before, during, and after the storm!

In this episode, Drew looks at the mindset of Nehemiah who trusted in God to see him through a very disturbing storm. This should encourage us not to be afraid but to recognize God’s presence when the storm clouds rise.

In this episode, Drew concludes his five-part series on the “Devices of Satan as seen in the Book of Nehemiah.” The final part is “slander” which is essentially the false information and accusations used by “the Accuser” (Rev. 12:10). Connecting these five lessons will hopefully be helpful to all who examine and study them!

In this episode, Drew engages in the fourth lesson in the series of “Satan’s devices as seen in the book of Nehemiah.” Here, the device Satan uses is “compromise.” This is a real storm people face today, so we need to be aware of it and be equipped to “weather” it.

In this episode, Drew comes to part three in his study of “Satan’s devices as seen in the book of Nehemiah.” The device analyzed is “intimidation.” Satan, through his influence, tries to intimidate Christians today, but God’s people must not allow his empty tactics to stop us from doing the will of God (Rom. 8:31)!

In this episode, Drew continues his study of “Satan’s Devices” as seen in the book of Nehemiah. Here, the device used is “ridicule,” which is prevalent today as many speak ill of the Lord’s church.

In this episode, Drew begins a five-part series discussing Satan’s devices as they are found in the book of Nehemiah. He gives credit to Garland Elkins who presented this material at the “Standing in the Gap” Lectureship at the Nesbit church of Christ (Nesbit, MS). The material is being used in a series of episodes to show how Satan’s devices haven’t changed and in 2023, many are being taken “capt...

In this episode. Drew shows how Nehemiah leads others to rebuild the walls in spite of the opposition and problems they face. The work itself was difficult, but doing the work when others try to bring you down can be detrimental to success. Nehemiah doesn’t let anything stop him from doing the will of God and neither should we!

In this episode, Drew discusses the “James 1:22” principle of actually doing the will of God! Nehemiah planned the work (Ep. 4) and worked the plan by leading others in the work of rebuilding and restoring the broken walls of Jerusalem.

In this episode, Drew discusses one of the great leadership qualities of Nehemiah: Planning ahead. As Nehemiah knows the daunting task of rebuilding the walls, he plans the work which shows his investment in fixing the problem.

In this episode, Drew works through Nehemiah’s beautiful prayer to God. As he faced an incredible storm, Nehemiah went to the right source to “find grace in time of need” (Heb. 4:15-16). May all who are struggling to take heart when studying this prayer.

In this episode, Drew discusses the storm Nehemiah faced as he heard a painful report of the status of Jerusalem. His deep concern shows his deep compassion for God’s people and God’s will. By noticing his reaction, others today can see the value of caring enough to address problems that arise.
