Called to Lead
You may be building a family, a team, a company, or a dream. God has wisdom for you within the journals of Nehemiah.
Called to Lead
Leadership has been defined as influence–the ability to influence others towards a new future or a better way to live. This means that many with the title of “leader” are leaders, and some with the title are not. The book of Nehemiah has been studied for centuries for insights on how to lead others. The book recounts God’s faithfulness to His people despite their unfaithfulness, but it also records Nehemiah’s thoughts and actions. Nehemiah built a wall and a city. You may be building a family, a team, a company, or a new dream, and God has wisdom for you within the journals of Nehemiah.
