When pressure rises and the noise gets loud, leaders are often tempted to shrink their vision, lower expectations, or retreat to what feels safe. Drawing from Nehemiah’s leadership under opposition, this message unpacks how to hear God at work and keep building when criticism, complexity, and distraction push you to back down. Anchored in Scripture and real-world business leadership, it reminds us that we are not those who draw back, but those who believe—and build—with courage and conviction.

You’ll discover three practical, field-tested keys from Nehemiah: how to respond to mockery by praying and continuing the work, how to strengthen your team when progress feels slow and messy, and how to guard your focus when “good opportunities” threaten to pull you off-mission. This is a call to clarify your Great Work, stay aligned with God’s voice, and build a high-impact kingdom business that blesses more than just you but your city and beyond.

What if the Bible Was True... for your Business?
What if Scripture isn’t just true in theory, but true in how you hire, negotiate, handle cash flow, and lead under pressure? Many of us believe the Bible is true, yet in practice we default to experience, worry, and self-reliance. That gap shows up when uncertainty hits and anxiety starts running the day. This week’s message invites us to move from mental agreement to a lived yes. When we let G...
