Recap Of Past Seasons
- Matt summarizes prior seasons: Matthew, a rapid book-per-day run, and Esther.
- He connects Esther's Persian setting to why Nehemiah continues that historical thread.
Nehemiah's Unique Place In Scripture
- Nehemiah stays in the Persian world and changes the tone of the Old Testament narrative.
- The book balances heroism, flawed leadership, and substantial implications for history and personal growth.
Action Beats Complaint

- His flawed execution still produces meaningful results and offers leadership lessons.
