About this episode
Pastor J.D. discusses how to discern God's calling through the example of Nehemiah's burden to act.
We've all wondered it: Does God have a special assignment for me, and if so, how do I know if I'm actually accomplishing it? The Bible doesn't record Nehemiah ever receiving a prophetic dream or vision from God, and yet, he has a divinely placed burden that moves him to act. In this week's message from Nehemiah 2, Pastor J.D. shows us how to narrow down what God might be calling us to do for his kingdom. Not everything that comes from heaven has your name on it, but something does.
