A leader is somebody who risk losing to stick with principle.

They don't compromise principle for popularity.

Dr. Tony Evans says biblical leadership isn't about talk or trends.

It's about consistency and conviction.

If it's based on principle, you know they're going to stick with it over the long haul.

You may not like it, but you know you can bank on it.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

The news is filled with stories of crime, corruption, and division.

But beneath the headlines is a deeper spiritual problem that can't be solved with politics or policy alone.

Today, Dr. Evans reveals God's blueprint for rebuilding broken cities and restoring hope where it's needed most.

Let's join him as he shares biblical principles that can reshape our cities and our lives from the inside out.

He begins with an examination of an often

skipped list of names found in Nehemiah chapter 11. First of all, I would like to look at the fact

of the list. This is one of a number of lists in the book of Nehemiah and throughout the Old

So let me address why God puts in lists the names in the Bible to begin with.

First of all, our God is a God of recognition.

Our God doesn't mind recognizing people who deserve it and condemning people who deserve it.

By name. The list we find in Nehemi 11 is a recognition of those leaders who have the guts to go forward for God.

The Bible says, give honor to whom honor is due.

Give recognition.

Over and over, the Bible spends time identifying people who've made a difference.
