About this episode

The episode reflects on the farewell to a sanctuary while emphasizing the ongoing mission to serve the world, guided by the account of Nehemiah.

We say goodbye to our beloved sanctuary after 25 years of use, but we continue a mission that transcends buildings: Serve the world. Today we let the account of Nehemiah walk us through what serving the world means as we gather one last time in what will soon be "the old sanctuary."
