The danger isn’t only outside Jerusalem’s rising walls—it’s within the community itself: walls within walls. As the dust of rebuilding hangs in the air, a cry rises from hungry families whose land, labor, and even children have been leveraged for survival. This episode brings you shoulder-to-shoulder with Nehemiah as he confronts injustice with courage, calling God’s people away from comfort and beds of ivory and back to covenant faithfulness.
