About this episode

Eric Thomas discusses the importance of taking ownership in the process of healing and rebuilding one's life after trauma.

It's not your fault it broke. But it is your fault if it stays broken. You didn't ask for the trauma. You didn't choose the betrayal. You didn't plan the divorce, the loss, the abuse, the abandonment. You didn't knock your own walls down. But 140 years later, you're still standing in the rubble. And God is asking you one question: when are you going to rebuild? Using the story of Nehemiah, Pastor Eric Thomas exposes the real reason your life is still broken. It's not because it's too hard to fix. It's not because God hasn't shown up. It's because you haven't owned it yet. Nehemiah looked at walls destroyed for 140 years and rebuilt them in 52 days. Not because he had more resources or a bigger team. Because he stopped blaming, stopped avoiding, and started building. In this message you'll discover: → Why power is available but not automatic, and how to activate it in your life → The difference between assessing, praying, and finishing, and why most people never get to the third step → Why 52 days is all it takes when you stop making excuses and start taking ownership → How empty hands don't stay neutral, they either build with you or break what you're building → The real reason…
