The book of Nehemiah is a journal of a man who found personal healing through his faith and allowed God to use him to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. This episode challenges us to catch a vision for God's work in us and to take action even in the face of fear.

God intends to bring us through suffering to a place of healing and peace. This teaching begins with Isaiah 61 and proceeds to look at the life of Nehemiah for clues to understanding God's desire to use our pain to release His power in and through us.

If we have received help in God's ICU, we must spread the word to others needing healing. Wherever you are in the process, you can make a difference for others just by showing authentically. Be the message!

As we grow in recovery, daily inventory and increasing conscious contact with God are VITAL. This message encourages you to GUARD YOUR HEART and check in frequently with God and your own body and soul.

After making and sharing our fearless moral inventory in Steps 4 and 5, and coming to terms with some of our character defects in Steps 6 and 7, we are ready to do some heavy lifting in our relationships. Step 8 has us make of list of persons we have harmed and become willing to make amends. Step 9 has us enter the danger and go to these people unless doing so would cause further harm. This message encourages us to process our feelings on paper so that amends are genuine and effective.

As we walk through the steps to recovery, God is faithful to reveal our defects of character. Join Ann Rudd as she moderates a panel with Barry H., Debbie K., Judith A., Mark R. and Melanie A. Their message will inspire and encourage as you become "entirely ready" and "humbly ask" God to remove your character defects.
