Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

God wants to use us to carry out His plans in the world, but that requires us to protect our hearts and minds from worldly distractions. In this episode, Dot and Cara reflect on the example Nehemiah set through his approach to rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. They discuss the idea that sometimes it’s healthy to build walls that protect us and show people that we’re focused on following Jesus. They also talk about the importance of standing firm in what God has called you to do in the midst of fear and criticism. Episode RecapStart by writing down Nehemiah 2:17-18 (0:13)Some walls keep people out, but others are important for protecting yourself (1:24)How to know if a wall is healthy (4:14)The walls of Jerusalem were a symbol of God setting the Jewish people apart (6:38)We should live in a way that makes it clear that we’re following Jesus (11:50)Surround yourself with people who help you follow God more closely (13:57)Nehemiah fought fear and false accusations with prayer (21:25)God wants us to work with Him to carry out His plan of restoration (26:11) Send us an email to let us know what you’re learning - hello@dotbowen.com Find Dot Bowen on Instagram and Facebook
