Ezra & Nehemiah: Following God’s Call Even When It’s Costly
A FREE study of the books of Ezra and Nehemiah in the First 5 app, starting March 30
What if the struggle isn’t a setback — it’s what God is using to shape you?
Have you ever stepped out in faith only to find that the path in front of you feels harder, slower, or more confusing than you expected? You’re trying to follow God … but obstacles, delays, and discouragement keep showing up in the story.
Ezra and Nehemiah knew this feeling well. God stirred them to rebuild what was broken — yet every step forward required courage, perseverance, and trust that His hand was still on them when the work felt costly.
Their story reminds us of something we forget too easily:
Difficulty doesn’t mean God has left us.
Difficulty is often where He forms us.
That’s the heartbeat of Ezra & Nehemiah: Following God’s Call Even When It’s Costly — a six-week journey and gentle, hope-filled invitation to rebuild what has felt worn down in your faith.
