Listen "We Are Relevant and We Pray Through the Pain"
Episode Synopsis
In the sermon Made for More: “We Are Relevant and We Pray Through the Pain”, Pastor Carl Nichols draws from the story of Nehemiah to show that before God rebuilds through us, He often breaks something within us. Using Nehemiah’s journey, he outlines a progression: first, we must sit down to cry, allowing ourselves to feel the brokenness around us; then we kneel down to pray, not just interceding for others, but repenting alongside them; and finally, we stand up and act, stepping boldly into the work God calls us to do. Nehemiah didn’t just weep and pray—he took courageous steps of faith. The time between feeling a burden and moving in boldness is where God prepares us. Ultimately, the message encourages us to respond to pain not with passivity, but with prayer-fueled action, trusting God to begin a good work through our obedience.
