In this episode of Renown, we walk through Ezra and Nehemiah as the last great history books before the New Testament—tracing the return from exile, the three waves back to Jerusalem, and the rebuilding of the temple and the city walls in the face of fierce opposition. We dig into the leadership and prayer lives of Ezra and Nehemiah, how God used pagan kings to fulfill His promises, and where these stories point us straight to Jesus. Along the way, we press into discipleship themes of courage, perseverance, repentance, and the hope God holds out even when His people have blown it.
