    When rebuilding something that’s broken in your life or ministry, you’ll need help from others. This message pulls out principles from Nehemiah’s life that can help us learn to build a team and motivate others.

It could be that something is broken in your career or ministry. Identifying the broken places helps us see what job God wants us to do ...read more
