Hi BibleBaddies,In this episode, we talk about how Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem come for Nehemiah hard, throwing every distraction and threat his way to stop the wall from going up—total sabotage. But Nehemiah isn’t having it, dodging their tricks and staying laser-focused, shutting down their fake news and even assassination plots. The result? The wall gets finished in 52 days, and the enemies are left speechless, knowing they just witnessed a divine power move. In Chapter 7, Nehemiah keeps the momentum going by setting up guards to protect the city and organizing everyone by their family records—because who’s rebuilding a city without making sure it’s secure and orderly? He’s basically running the city like a true leader, keeping everything tight and efficient! We hope you enjoy the episode.

Hey Baddies! In today’s episode, we’re diving into Nehemiah 5, where things get heated! The Israelites are in the middle of a massive economic meltdown, with the poor getting crushed by the rich. People are mortgaging their lands, and even selling their children into slavery just to survive. But Nehemiah? He’s not having it. Fired up by this injustice, he confronts the wealthy, demanding they return what they’ve taken and stop exploiting their own people. Spoiler: they agree, and Nehemiah seals the deal with a public oath. And just when you think this guy couldn’t be more of a hero, he leads by example—refusing the governor’s perks and instead using his own resources to support the people. Total boss move! We know you’ll love this one, so grab a seat and tune in! Love, Dom & Audra --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebaddies/support

Happy Tuesday, Have you ever felt like people don't have filters sometimes?Have you ever felt that words have cut you so deep?Have you ever found yourself exploding at someone using your own words? Well, you've come to the right place. In this episode, we dive into James 3:1-12. We talk about the warning that teachers will be judged more strictly, the power and responsibility of speech, and that everyone falls short, especially in their words. James uses metaphors such as a bit in a horse's mouth, a rudder on a ship, and a small spark causing a great fire to illustrate the tongue's significant influence and potential for harm. He describes the tongue as untamable and full of deadly poison, capable of both blessing and cursing, which reveals the hypocrisy in our speech. We discuss ways to have power over our tongue by using the Bible's wisdom and providing fruits with our words. We hope you enjoy the episode!
