Nehemiah didn't just rebuild walls; he rebuilt people. He noticed their names, their efforts, and their progress, and he took time to commend them. Encouragement is one of the most powerful tools God gives us to help others grow. Today, ask God to give you eyes to see progress in others and the courage to speak life into them. Celebrate someone's small victory. Your words might be exactly what keeps them going.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

There's a shift happening in leadership—and in this podcast.In this episode of Stepping Into the Arena, Karen announces powerful changes coming to the show, all rooted in what modern leaders truly need today: clarity, calm, and grounded strength. Drawing on 28 years in corporate leadership and three years coaching successful executives, Karen shares five critical trends she sees in the market and how they are shaping the future of effective leadership.If you're tired of reactive change, surface-level motivation, and leadership that costs your health and well-being, this is your invitation to something deeper. Get ready for a more aligned, intentional way to lead.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:Leaders are exhausted. The current pace and intensity of corporate life is unsustainable—burnout is not a leadership strategy.Trust is the new currency. Steady, grounded presence matters more than high energy or charisma.Reactive change is harming teams. Organizations need to shift from chaos-driven change to structured, respectful transitions.Clarity beats complexity. Clear expectations, decisions, and communication reduce friction and boost performance.Growth needs grounding. As responsibilities increase, inner capacity must grow too—emotional regulation and self-leadership are essential.“I want to promote leadership that isn't going to cost people their health, their relationships, their self-confidence.” – Karen GombaultModern leadership isn't about working harder—it's about showing up in a way that is steady, ethical, aligned, and human. That's why this podcast is evolving too. Karen shares her decision to rename the show and introduces a new daily format designed to meet you where you are—offering practical insights and grounded energy every weekday.RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:

One Flesh | You're Grounded Week 2 | Jared Callahan

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Bo Shepherd – designer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Woodward Throwbacks, a Detroit-based creative studio known nationwide for its sustainable design, reclaimed craftsmanship, and deep love for community. Bo's heart is rooted in Detroit — a city she loves, lives in, and continues to invest in through creativity, sustainability, and hard work. What began as a simple act of picking up discarded wood from Detroit's streets and alleys soon evolved into a full-fledged movement. Alongside her partner Kyle, Bo transformed a pickup truck, a passion for design, and a desire to bring beauty to their city into what is now Woodward Throwbacks: a thriving, purpose-driven business that turns overlooked materials into meaningful, functional pieces that carry the soul of Detroit's history. Through years of grit, innovation, and vision, Bo has built far more than a brand. She's built a philosophy — one rooted in intention, artistry, community, and sustainability. As a woman working in design, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship, Bo shares openly about the challenges she's faced, the resilience required to keep going, and the importance of staying rooted in who you are and what you believe in. Grounded in creativity, purpose, and a deep connection to Detroit, Bo's journey is a powerful reminder that we can build something extraordinary using what others cast aside — not just in design, but in life. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Bo's inspiring life story and how her creative roots shaped her journey; ✨ The origins of Woodward Throwbacks and how a simple idea became a movement; ✨ The power of sustainability, reclaimed materials, and intentional design; ✨ What it's like to build and scale a business rooted in community impact; ✨ Bo's honest reflections on entrepreneurship, leadership, and staying grounded; ✨ And so much more!

In this special Unmapped Contributor Connects episode, Lizbeth talks with authors Debbie Russell and Kate Colbert about what inspired their solo travel stories in Unmapped: Solo Women Travelers. Though neither has met in person, the conversation reveals deep connections formed through shared vulnerability, resilience, and the transformative power of being alone in the world.Debbie Russell shares how her chapter emerged from a major life shift in her late fifties. After leaving her long-term job and embracing self-employment, she bought a camper and taught herself every aspect of RV life.  Her experiences illuminate how travel can keep the  brain active and how camping as a single woman challenges assumptions about safety and capability.Kate Colbert reflects on her early fear of travel, having grown up in a small Midwestern community with little exposure to the wider world. A journalism career required her to travel solo constantly, which quickly transformed her worldview. She describes how discovering independence during business trips reshaped her sense of identity and helped her break away from limiting beliefs. Kate also talks about navigating travel and selfhood after surviving severe illness during the pandemic, explaining how she maintains a solo traveler's heart even when journeying with her husband.Connect with Kate at https://www.silvertreecommunications.com/Connect with Debbie at https://debbie-russell.com/This conversation also touches on domestic violence, the book's dedication, and why half of all royalties from Unmapped support the YWCA of Knoxville and the Tennessee Valley. The episode closes with gratitude for the contributors' honesty, courage, and willingness to carve out space for themselves despite competing demands. Their stories remind listeners that travel, even small local adventures, can be an entry point into healing, empowerment, and rediscovering one's own voice.Three Key TakeawaysYou will learn: • How solo travel can shift long-held beliefs about safety, confidence, and independence • Why resilience grows when women choose their own adventures, large or small • How freedom, healing, and community often arise from taking the first uncomfortable stepLizbeth's links Want to comment on the show?

This week on Persistence U, Lizbeth welcomes back friend and former guest Richard Wilmore to talk about the power of returning to an old dream, choosing joy, and building a creative life that feels good from the inside out.Richard first appeared on Persistence U years ago when he was helping bring the arts into hospitals through a nonprofit that changed his own life as much as it changed the lives of the patients he served. But as nonprofit work often goes, roles shifted, pressures grew, and the very job that once gave him energy began taking a toll on his health. Leaving felt sudden, but Richard shares that the decision was the result of a long internal push to return to what he always knew he wanted to do.His childhood dream had been clear. A daytime talk show. A space filled with color, community, laughter, and meaningful conversations. After leaving the nonprofit world, he planned to support other podcasters behind the scenes. But while helping others build their shows, he realized it was time to give himself permission to create his own. Make Your Day Richer was born.In this conversation, Richard speaks honestly about the realities of launching a show from scratch, including the pressures of being live five days a week, the overbooking that nearly burned him out, the technology that drives him crazy, and the surprising lessons that surfaced only after 200 plus episodes.He also talks about the essential mindset shift that has shaped his creative process. Instead of going from zero to a hundred, he encourages listeners to stop at twenty if that is enough. Take one small step toward the thing that brings happiness rather than waiting for the perfect moment. Build slowly. Build honestly. Protect the joy of creating.Richard also shares how play, color, and art influence his energy and his set design, why he loves hosting guests from all backgrounds, and how he plans to bring more local artists from South Carolina into his studio next.Listeners will appreciate his practical wisdom about handling no-shows with grace, refusing to weaponize passion projects against yourself, and remembering to celebrate small wins. Richard reminds us that the fastest route to burnout is failing to acknowledge what is going right.If you are someone who has always dreamed of doing something different, something creative, or something that lights you up, this episode is a reminder that tiLizbeth's links Want to comment on the show?

Beatrice Dixon, founder of The Honey Pot, just delivered a masterclass in conscious entrepreneurship when she turned down a $450 million offer to sell her company.THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW: MEET DIAMOND KING This week on The Zen Effect Show, we're stepping into the kind of healing the world is finally ready for. Our current mental-health and wellness systems are outdated, fragmented, and often disconnected from how the body actually heals. That's why this conversation is essential.I'm joined by Diamond King, a Sound Therapist and hypnotherapist who is redefining what holistic therapy truly means. Diamond's work shows that sound isn't just “relaxing” it's an evolved therapeutic tool that the body automatically responds to on a physiological, emotional, and subconscious level.Sound therapy shifts the brain from high-alert beta waves into the deeply restorative theta state, where clarity, release, and real transformation take place. Research shows that specific frequencies can regulate cortisol, balance the nervous system, improve sleep, boost cognitive function, and even enhance emotional processing.Through her sound journeys, realignment coaching, and decade of teaching worldwide, Diamond helps people soften their system, dissolve stored tension, and return to presence. She reminds us that stillness isn't silence it's structure, the architecture where healing finally has room to land.If you've felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself… This is the episode your nervous system has been waiting for.Click here to Connect With Diamond King https://bio.site/therealdiamondkingClick here ⁠For all things mentioned—and all things Zen Effect ⁠ Tune in live on ⁠WBNC⁠ Tuesdays at 6pm EST, also linked above.

What does "healthy" look like for women — and who gets to define it? In this episode the Movement Is Medicine hosts talk with Tierra Duncan, author of The Birth Control Illusion (coming out soon), about how hormonal birth control, endometriosis, and a siloed medical system can mask the most important signal of women's health: the menstrual cycle. Tara recounts her personal journey off hormonal contraception, explains why periods are a vital sign, and walks through how to build a meaningful baseline for hormones using better sleep, nutrition, strength work, targeted lab testing, and clear questions to bring to your clinician. We also tackle a darker reality: how well-intentioned medical pattern-recognition can become gaslighting — and why knowledge, context, and informed consent are the best tools for reclaiming care. Practical, grounded, and full of real-life examples from coaching and clinic work, this episode gives listeners the language and first steps to make smarter choices about hormones and performance.

Welcome back to Grounded! We hope your week is going great so far! Listen in today as the guys are a little jacked up on coffee and espresso. They chat about the usual things before unpacking this week's sermon on prayer.

The sermon centers on the transformative power of living faith in Jesus Christ as the sole means of overcoming the world and obtaining eternal life. Grounded in Scripture—particularly John 17, Romans 10, and 2 Corinthians 5— it emphasizes that salvation is a divine gift, secured by Christ's atoning death and resurrection, and received through genuine repentance, belief in Christ's deity and sacrifice, and a commitment to obedience. The preacher underscores that true faith is not merely historical or intellectual but a dynamic, life-changing trust that results in spiritual rebirth and moral renewal, rejecting worldly influences and calling believers to bold, public discipleship. The message is both convicting and comforting, calling listeners to personal conversion while assuring them of God's sovereign preservation of the saved. It concludes with an urgent invitation to respond in faith, followed by practical resources for new believers to grow in their walk with Christ.

But I love his business Fire and Foraging, and we struck up a conversation and I invited him to talk on the podcast, and I'm SO glad I did! Vince is a nature guide in Wisconsin, and is a real pro!

I sure didn't). Some of the species we discussed are dandelion, of course - how every part of the plant is beneficial, also Dames rocket and Queen Anne's Lace. Speaking of edible plants, do you recognize the mushroom on this episode's art?I also learned from Vince that there's a Mid West Wild Food conference, and that he's worked with Alexis Nikole (The Black Forager on Instagram - she's so great!) a few times!Vince says "You are nature," and his goal is for people to connect with their local environment.

Pray for a heart that values unity and for the courage to do your part in rebuilding lives. Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

Join Jill this week as she discusses the difference between someone feeling truly heard versus someone hijacking a group setting. She uses the example of a Zoom call in which two participants dominated the conversation, going on lengthy tangents instead of following the facilitator's instructions. Jill offers the possibility that such behavior is not meant to be malicious and discusses some possible reasons for it, including nervous system dysregulation, ego protection, and general lack of self-awareness. As the leader of a group, Jill stresses the importance of politely yet firmly redirecting someone who is monopolizing time and energy in order to maintain the structure of the container for the entire group, and she provides some specific suggestions for how to handle these situations with compassion. Jill also touches on the holiday season quickly approaching and promises to share tools and strategies in an upcoming episode to help listeners navigate family dynamics and personal boundaries during this time of year! She also spends a little bit of time discussing the recent in-person BeYOULive event which was the 300th episode of the podcast. She describes how she forgot to give away two of the raffle prizes at the event and reveals the winners in this episode of the show! After spinning the virtual prize wheel, Jill announces the winners of the 5-month house cleaning service and the $1,500 dinner at her favorite local restaurant! Also, don't forget - Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details!

This episode of Mystery School with Shakti Durga explores how tuning into subtle vibration can transform our inner state—from feeling separate or overwhelmed to experiencing connection, empowerment, and Divine flow.Grounded in timeless wisdom, Shakti Durga teaches about what the yogis call Spanda—the divine vibration moving through every moment—revealing unity-consciousness right in the midst of daily life.

As we approach the start of the Christian Year on the first week of Advent, we consider what might take place in us, if we intentionally surround and immerse ourselves in the story of Jesus. Sermon by Pastor Scott Edinger

This episode of Mystery School with Shakti Durga explores how tuning into subtle vibration can transform our inner state—from feeling separate or overwhelmed to experiencing connection, empowerment, and Divine flow.Grounded in timeless wisdom, Shakti Durga teaches about what the yogis call Spanda—the divine vibration moving through every moment—revealing unity-consciousness right in the midst of daily life.

Todaywe're continuing to look at the prayer, the petition, that the Apostle Paulprayed for the saints there at the church of Ephesus. The first thing he prayedfor in verse 16 is that they would “be strengthened with might through HisSpirit in the inner man”. They'd have spiritual energy to live for the LordJesus Christ and to do the will of God. Secondly, Paul prayed, “that Christmay dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and groundedin love”. So, the second thing now Paul is praying for is the depth oftheir spiritual experience in Christ. How deep is your spiritual life? Youknow, so many Christians are like a mile wide and an inch deep. They display alot of Christianity until they end up in a different situation, a crisis, thenit's revealed they have no depth to their Christian life. That's what Paul ispraying for, that there would be depth in their spiritual walk with God. Heuses three words in verse 17 to speak of this depth. The first word is “dwell”.Then the second is “rooted”. The third word is “grounded”.  Theword “dwell” is a word that speaks of Christ being at home in our hearts. WhatPaul is praying for is a deeper experience between Christ and His people. Heyearns for Christ to settle down and feel at home in their hearts—not a surfacerelationship, but an ever-deepening fellowship. Not only are we at home inChrist, He's at home in our hearts. Abraham is a good illustration of this.When God and the two angels came to see Abraham after He has promised him ason, God felt at home with Abraham. He sat down to have a meal with him. Heconversed with him. He talked with him. But then, God had another thing on Hisagenda, that was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He didn't go to Lot'shouse. He sent the two angels because He didn't feel at home in Lot's heart.So, my friend, to dwell in our hearts means Christ is at home. He has a placewhere He can commune and fellowship with us. Jesus is always a welcome guest. Now,already we are saints. That's what Paul addressed these Christians at Ephesuswith in the very first verse of the book: “To the saints at Ephesus”. So,they're saints already. They are already in Christ. Christ is already in them.But the question is, does Christ dwell in your hearts? Is He abiding in yourheart? (John 15:7-8).  Thesecond word that we see here is the word “rooted”. The verb rootedmoves us into the plant world. The tree must get its roots deep into the soilif it is to have both nourishment and stability; and the Christian must havehis spiritual roots deep into the love of God. Psalm 1:2-3 is a perfectdescription of this word. Jeremiah 17:5-8 is agood commentary on it. One of the most important questions a Christian can askhimself is, "From what do I draw my nourishment and my stability?" Ifthere is to be power in the Christian life, then there must be depth. The rootsmust go deeper and deeper into the love of Christ. Thirdly,we see the word “grounded”. Grounded is an architectural term; it refersto the foundations on which we build. There's only one foundation that can bein our lives and that's the foundation of Jesus Christ. We know that theexperiences of life, the trials of life will expose if we're building on thefirm foundation of Jesus Christ. Which means we have depth. Jesus said it thisway in Luke 6:47-48, He is like a man building a house, whodug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.  We'redwelling in Christ. Christ is dwelling in us. We have deep roots into thefoundation, Christ Himself. “Christ is our life” (Colossians 3:4). “Forto me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).  That is then the story of our life. It's aChrist-like life. It's exchanged life, as Hudson Taylor put it.  Myfriend, that's what we need to have. That's why Paul prayed for the depth, thedepth of our love in Christ. We should pray for that not only for ourselves,but for others.  Godbless!

Send us a textEver notice how the harder your mind works, the less your body feels like home? We dig into why relentless thinking tricks your brain into sounding a constant danger alarm, how that message hits the HPA axis, and why your root chakra interprets it as “I'm not safe.” You'll learn how this loop fuels anxiety, fatigue, restless sleep, and sugar cravings, plus the grounded practices that bring your energy back where it belongs.Learn more about the HPA axis, Hormones and Chakras in this free resource:Chakras and HormonesWe begin by reconnecting with the body through simple breath and awareness, then map the physiology: the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal pathway, cortisol and DHEA rhythms, and the way chronic worry keeps the nervous system on high alert. From there, we translate the science into daily tools. Five accessible grounding practices form the core of this episode—barefoot time or visualization of roots, warm and stabilizing foods like root vegetables and quality protein, a 4-2-6 breath cadence to ease the system into rest and digest, gentle yoga moves like mountain pose you can do anywhere, and practical guidance on when to test salivary cortisol and DHEA to validate what you're feeling.You'll hear examples of stress “hot hours,” body check-ins that take under two minutes, and a calming phrase to re-teach safety to the lower brain. We also share options for energy support, from brief Reiki resets to a free 90-minute Harmonize Your Energy workshop with downloadable guides. The goal is simple: stop living from the neck up and reclaim steadiness from the spine down so thought, feeling, and action move in the same direction.If this helped you feel more grounded, follow the show, share it with a friend who's running on fumes, and leave a quick review.

High performers love speed. But speed without alignment kills clarity. In this high-impact episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Sayan sits down with life coach and founder of Silverman Coach, Loren Silverman, to decode why burnout sneaks up on the smartest people in the room. They break down the psychology of overthinking, somatic cues of overwhelm, and why high achievers mistake chaos for productivity.Loren offers a tactical roadmap for listeners. Pause. Reboot. Grow. His framework helps professionals replace mental load with value-based action, set boundaries without guilt, and build momentum with small strategic choices instead of unrealistic overhauls.If you've been running on fumes, telling yourself you're “fine,” this episode gives you a brutally honest reset. Practical. Grounded. Actionable. Exactly what high achievers need to stay human while staying ambitious. About the Guest: Loren Silverman is a life coach and founder of Silverman Coach. With nearly two decades in tech and digital transformation, he now helps overwhelmed professionals and self-identified nerds align their values, create boundaries, and build sustainable habits. He is the creator of Life Reboot: Nerd Edition, a 90-day coaching program that blends behavioral psychology with gamification to help people pause, reboot, and grow with clarity. Key Takeaways: Burnout isn't caused by doing too much. It's caused by being misaligned. When values aren't driving your decisions, overwhelm builds silently. Overthinking tricks high achievers into feeling productive. In reality, it's worry disguised as strategy. One minute of intentional pause interrupts mental spirals faster than any productivity hack. Don't underestimate micro-rest. Small, consistent actions outperform dramatic life resets because they rebuild trust with yourself and reduce overwhelm. Boundaries protect your focus and set mutual expectations. Clear communication prevents emotional leakage and reactivity. Somatic signs like fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and short breath are early indicators of emotional overload. Listen to them before they escalate. Delegation is a leadership skill, not a compromise. High achievers burn out when they try to be the “go-to person” for everything. Gamified coaching frameworks, like Loren's character-building system, help individuals understand their strengths, energy levels, and personal metrics. Identifying core values clarifies decision-making and eliminates unnecessary friction. Alignment is the antidote to burnout. When actions reflect core values, resilience becomes natural instead of forced.   How to Connect with the Guest:   Website: https://silvermancoach.com/Book a free 30-minute strategy session directly on the site.

Before we plunged into the fervor of Śyāma Kālī Pūjā, we paused to reflect on an important question that Sandhyā Devī astutely asked one morning which was more or less along the lines of "how can we verify the truth claims of the tradition"? "how do we stay sane, grounded & reasonable while practicing a somewhat radical form of Tantra?" "how do we know that our spiritual experiences are legitimate and not a function of delusion or egoic thinking?" (I paraphrase). Essentially, before participating fully in something, we have to ask if there are checks and balances inherent in the tradition to keep the narratives and the individuals who represent them grounded and accountable. And the tradition replies resoundingly in the affirmative! In this somewhat foundational and important discussion, we explore what some of these checks and balances might be and how we might access and benefit from them to stay sane, grounded, reasonable and safe even as we plunge recklessly into the fire of devotion like intoxicated moths! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Day 16 is all about people. Nehemiah knew the wall around Jerusalem wasn't really the goal - the people were. Every name in Nehemiah 3 mattered because every person mattered.

Scripture reminds us to “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18), but how do we live that out when life feels overwhelming or uncertain? Join us as we reflect on the power of a thankful heart, share stories of God's faithfulness, and uncover how gratitude anchors us in His peace and presence. Whether you're gathered around a table or spending quiet time in reflection, this episode will help you realign your heart with God's truth and cultivate a spirit of thankfulness that lasts beyond the holiday season.

This week on Persistence U with Lizbeth Meredith, meet Unmapped contributor Heidi Siefkas — an author, speaker, and adventurer whose story reminds us that life can change in an instant, but our power to rebuild is limitless.Once a high-powered travel industry executive living what looked like a perfect life, Heidi's world turned upside down when a thousand-pound tree limb struck her down, breaking her neck and forever altering her path. What followed wasn't just recovery — it was reinvention.In her essay for Unmapped: Solo Women Travelers – Bold Journeys of Healing, Resilience, and Self-Discovery, Heidi shares how travel became her greatest teacher, leading her from heartbreak to healing and from survival to thriving. After her recovery, she set off alone for Patagonia to test her strength — a journey that inspired her first memoir, When All Balls Drop, and later her global movement built around her mantra: Look Up.That mantra — to shift perspective, find the silver lining, and stay present — helped Heidi through another unimaginable loss years later, when her longtime partner, a medevac pilot, was killed in a crash. From those ashes, she built a new life in Nashville and finished her anthology, Look Up: Global Stories of Resilience, gathering true stories of courage from around the world. You Will Learn:How travel can restore confidence, faith, and connection after trauma.Why “looking up” — in every sense — can shift grief into gratitude.How Heidi turned unimaginable setbacks into books, talks, and a movement that uplifts others.Half of all royalties from Unmapped benefit the YWCA, helping survivors and families rebuild their lives.Find Heidi's books, talks, and her Look Up series at heidisiefkas.com, and follow her on social media @HeidiSiefkas.Lizbeth's links Want to comment on the show?

In this powerful episode, Alabama native and political candidate Dakarai Larriett talks about what it really means to lead with authenticity in one of the toughest states to do it. From surviving a false arrest to running openly as a gay Black man, Dakarai's story is a masterclass in courage, empathy, and conviction. In this episode we unpack the realities of running for office, reforming broken systems, and staying true to yourself when the odds are stacked high. What you will learn Authenticity wins hearts — how Dakarai's story of resilience and faith helps voters connect beyond politics. Systemic change requires courage — the truth about law enforcement reform, qualified immunity, and real accountability. Leadership through empathy — why compassion and conviction matter more than party lines in shaping Alabama's future. About Dakarai Dakarai Larriett is a proud Alabama native, entrepreneur, and community leader now running for public office to serve the people of his home state. The son of a U.S. Army veteran and a public-school teacher, Dakarai grew up with a deep respect for service, education, and hard work—values that continue to guide his life and leadership. An honors graduate of the University of Alabama (Magna Cum Laude) and MBA holder from NYU, Dakarai built a successful corporate career with L'Oréal and Whirlpool before launching his own nationally recognized pet-care company. His entrepreneurial journey—from garage startup to thriving business—reflects his belief that opportunity grows when we invest in people and communities. Since returning to Birmingham in 2021, Dakarai has become known for his servant leadership and civic engagement, volunteering with United Way, Meals on Wheels, and the Humane Society. He also leads the board representing 60 families and small businesses at Mercantile on Morris, a mixed-use development in downtown Birmingham. Grounded in faith and fueled by purpose, Dakarai is running for office to bring accountable leadership, economic opportunity, and community pride back to Alabama.

This week, we've seen what it takes to rebuild when life feels hard: courage, focus, prayer, and perseverance. Today's reminder is simple but vital - keep alert. One victory doesn't make us invincible. Even after Nehemiah rebuilt the wall, the work wasn't over.It's easy to relax when things are going well, but maturity comes from knowing the enemy's strategy is a subtle pull to get us to drift off course. Nehemiah refused to quit. Real strength is built in the struggle.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.
