Responding to Opposition | Diving Deeper

This week’s episode of the Overtime Podcast explores the sermon theme of facing and overcoming opposition while rebuilding, drawn from Nehemiah’s leadership and the community’s resolve. The conversation centers on Nehemiah 3–6 (with the context from Haggai, Zechariah, and Ezra) and features insights from Pat Lessard, Gabe Cleave, Chris Short, and Christian Putman. Together they unpack prayerful dependence, rallying community, staying on mission despite intimidation, and wisely handling insiders versus outsiders. Practical applications include starting at “your section of the wall,” asking for help instead of isolating, and persevering with grit in disciple-making, the New Testament “wall” Jesus has given us to build.
