    Guard What You Built: Staying Watchful After Success

    Send us Fan Mail You worked hard to build it. You prayed for it, fought for it, and stayed faithful through the opposition.  But what happens after the work is finally done?  In Nehemiah 13:4–9, Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem and discovered that Tobiah—someone who had previously opposed the work—had gained access to a room in the house of God through his alliance with Eliashib the priest.  The wall had been rebuilt. The work had been completed. But the need for vigilance had not ended.  In this episode of Jola Speaks, Jola explores how victory can sometimes make us less alert, why the people around us and those in positions of influence matter, and why we must continue to pray, discern and make wise decisions even after the breakthrough.  If you've built a business, ministry, team, family or anything connected to God's purpose, this episode is a reminder:  Don't just build well. Guard what you've built.  📖 Scripture: Nehemiah 13:4–9 #jolaspeaks @jolaspeaks #christianpodcast #dailydevotion #spiritualgrowth

    When Doing the Right Thing Is Hard | Christian Leadership & Biblical Courage

    Send us Fan Mail What do you do when you know something is wrong, but changing it could upset people?  In Nehemiah 13, Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem and discovers that something has been allowed to happen that goes against God's instructions. His response is decisive: he removes what should not be there and restores the space to its intended purpose.  But this isn't only a lesson about Nehemiah.  It raises a difficult question for all of us: Is there something under your authority that needs to change?  At work, in leadership, in business, in parenting or in our everyday relationships, we can sometimes mistake being nice for being loving. But there are moments when love requires courage, firmness and decisive action.  In this episode of Jola Speaks, we explore what Nehemiah teaches us about Christian leadership, authority, correction, courage and doing what is right even when it ruffles feathers.  If God has entrusted something to your care, what might He be asking you to put back in order?  Watch and listen to “When Doing the Right Thing Is Hard” and grow with God. #jolaspeaks @jolaspeaks #christianpodcast #dailydevotion #spiritualgrowth

    Who Is Influencing You? How to Choose Your Inner Circle | Nehemiah 13

    Send us Fan Mail Who Is Influencing You? How to Choose Your Inner Circle | Nehemiah 13  Who has your ear?  The people closest to us can influence far more than we realise. In Nehemiah 13, Eliashab's alliance with Tobiah shows how the wrong relationship can gradually affect our judgement, decisions and even the people we lead.  In this episode, Jola explores the danger of underestimating influence, why compromise often happens gradually, and why leaders need to be especially intentional about who they allow into their inner circle.  Whether you're leading a team, building a career, serving in ministry or simply trying to grow with God, this episode invites you to take an honest look at the voices shaping your life.  Ask yourself: Who has your ear?  📖 Nehemiah 13:4–9 #jolaspeaks @jolaspeaks #christianpodcast #dailydevotion #spiritualgrowth

    When obedience to God feels impossible

    Send us Fan Mail What do you do when God asks you to obey, but obedience feels impossible?  There are moments when you know what God is asking of you, but everything in you wants to say, “Lord, this is hard.”  In this episode of Jola Speaks, we continue our journey through Nehemiah and explore what happens when obedience feels impossible.  Looking at Nehemiah 13, Jola reflects on how worship preceded an act of difficult obedience. She shares how worship can bring surrender, shift our focus away from the size of the task, and help us look again at the God who gave the instruction.  If you've ever struggled to obey God because the next step felt uncomfortable, inconvenient, illogical or simply too hard, this conversation is for you.  In this episode, you'll reflect on:   Why obedience can feel so difficult  How worship leads us toward surrender  Why our focus matters when God asks us to do something difficult  What happens when we stop focusing on the task and look back to God  How faith and obedience apply to everyday life This is part of our ongoing study through the Book of Nehemiah, as we learn what it means to grow with God and live out our faith in real life. Listen to: When Obedience to God Feels Impossible: How Worship Helps You Surrender. If this episode speaks to an area of your life, share your reflection in the comments.

    What If What Happened to You Isn't the Final Word? | God Has the Final Say

    Send us Fan Mail What if the thing you're afraid of, the situation you cannot control, or even what someone has planned against you isn't the final word?  In this episode of Jola Speaks, we continue through the book of Nehemiah and reflect on Nehemiah 13:1–3, where Scripture reminds us that God can turn what was intended as a curse into a blessing.  Jola explores what it means to trust God's authority when circumstances feel overwhelming, people oppose us, or we are tempted to focus more on what has been said or done than on what God has said.  This conversation is ultimately about trusting God, standing on His Word, and refusing to allow fear or circumstances to have the final word over your life.  You'll be encouraged to:  • Stop allowing circumstances to define what you believe is possible.  • Take fear and uncertainty back to God in prayer.  • Stand firmly on God's Word.  • Remember God's faithfulness in previous situations.  • Trust God to work even when you cannot yet see what He is doing.  If you're navigating opposition, uncertainty, disappointment, or a situation that feels impossible, this episode is a reminder:  God is God. And He has the final say.  Welcome to Jola Speaks, a Christian podcast about growing with God and applying biblical wisdom to everyday life, leadership, work, and the modern marketplace.  Scripture: Nehemiah 13:1–3, Lamentations 3:37, Genesis 12:3  Subscribe for more conversations on faith, spiritual growth, biblical wisdom, and living for God in the marketplace.  #jolaspeaks @jolaspeaks #christianpodcast #dailydevotion #spiritualgrowth
