Vision & Opposition | Diving Deeper

This week’s special episode of the Overtime Podcast pauses our Nehemiah series to gently process a difficult week for our nation and community. Jim Putman, Titus Ledger, Christian Putman, and Gabe Cleave reflect on recent tragedies, call us to grieve with hope, and anchor the conversation in Nehemiah’s example of steady, prayerful leadership amid opposition. Drawing from Romans 12 and the “sword and trowel” picture in Nehemiah, they urge a distinctly Christian response, overcoming evil with good, resisting retaliation, and starting “at our section of the wall”: discipling in our homes, serving our church, and building together. It’s a pastoral, steadying conversation about courage, endurance, and letting God use this moment for redemptive good.
