Nehemiah 5, Integrity Amid Pressure
📅 Thursday, December 11, 2025 | 📖 Nehemiah 5
Show Summary
In Nehemiah 5 the work of rebuilding pauses, not because of enemies outside, but because of injustice within. The people are being exploited by their fellow Jews through debt, oppression, and selfish gain. Nehemiah responds with righteous anger, wise leadership, and personal integrity. This episode explores how integrity and justice are vital for God honoring leadership and how Christians today can stand firm amid pressure while reflecting the character of Christ.
