Summary

It’s easy to get distracted from what God has called us to do especially in the culture we live in. And it’s tempting to rely on our own strength to accomplish a God-sized task even though we may be burning it at both ends. And how discouraging it can be when conflict isn’t coming from the outside but from within. Nehemiah faced similar struggles and gives us a compelling picture of how to walk through them with God as our strength. We have a great passage ahead of us today! We’ll see how Nehemiah took an active approach to dealing with injustice. How he was taken with what God had given him to do over taking his place at a fancy table. And how he refused to allow distractions to pull him away from the work God had entrusted to him. You do not want to miss this episode as we continue through the book of Nehemiah! There’s a seat waiting for you at my dining room table. For the full show notes visit kellyminter.com/podcast

0:58.6	Yeah. Access more. Welcome to my dining room table. This is the Cultivate Podcast, and I'm Kelly Minter, and I'm so glad that you are here with me,
1:08.6	joining me as we walk through this incredible book of Nehemiah. If you missed episode 16 and or 17, I would highly encourage you to go back and start there because we are doing a
1:13.9	several weeks series through Nehemiah and you're going to get the most out of it by starting
1:18.5	in the beginning. But if you are joining us today and you just want to stay put, that is okay.
1:24.1	There is going to be so much here for you today. In fact, I just want to tell you,
1:28.9	I am so really just super pumped today because I just got back from the Amazon jungle in Brazil
1:35.7	just a few days ago. And that just always energizes me, especially when it comes to talking
1:42.7	about what we're going to be talking about today. So I'll talk to you a little bit more about my trip to the Amazon, but I want to set just a little bit of the expectation today. We're going to be in chapters five and six of Nehemiah. And this is where Nehemiah is going to really hit some significant roadblocks. I mean, we see him hit
2:02.2	in chapter four, but some of the issues are going to hit really close to home, and they're
2:07.5	going to come from not without, but within. So so often we look for the opposition or the
2:14.8	enemies to be coming from the outside, but what happens when they come from
2:18.4	inside? So we're going to be looking a little bit on that today. And then we're also going to be
2:24.4	asking the question, do you ever get distracted from what God has called you to do? I mean,
2:29.8	I don't, ever. I'm just single-focused. I so often get distracted from what God has called me to do.
2:38.0	And isn't it true that so often the good gets in the way of the best? And we are going to look
2:42.7	at Nehemiah. He had a single focus. He knew what God had called him to do, and he was just not
