Trevor uses the story of Nehemiah to remind us to do the good work God has called us to, but not at the cost of those people around us. God doesn't just call us to work but is present with us along the way. This is good news!

Noah walked with God in justness, completeness and soundness long before he was called to build an ark. And because of his faithfulness, many were saved.



There are some powerful lessons that we can learn from his example so that we may also be found faithful when our times of testing come.

James 4 tackles the age old problem of power dynamics.
As Christ Followers, we are called to use whatever power we hold to empower and lift others up, especially those without voice or power. In a way that makes space for
others on this journey towards the goodness of God.



How exactly do we do this? Fortunately for us, James gives us some pragmatic tips and tricks to living out this more humble approach to community. Tune in!

James gets into the faith vs. works conversation or does he? And then he continues to hammer home the concept that words really matter, especially as a Christ follower. How can we truly be rich in Godly wisdom if we cannot manage what comes out of our mouths? These three teachings are part of the same narrative so let's get into it!

James steps on the toes of the religious leaders of his day, calling them to live into the perfect law of liberty that Jesus brought. He talks about the danger of showing favoritism and defines what pure religion should actually look like. HE even calls them to a posture of mercy more than judgment in their dealings with the people. Good stuff!

The first chapter of James acts like a table of contents for the rest of the book, giving an overview of sorts. There are some very important lessons for those who follow Christ so let's dig in!
