Nehemiah is a man caught between two worlds. In the vast and affluent Persian empire, he has status and influence. As an Israelite, his people are scattered and fragmented—much like the ruins of the wall surrounding Jerusalem. However, Nehemiah’s heart is captivated by the vision of a better future. As he moves in faith, his passion ignites a nation to come together with zeal for the empire of God.
