Church leaders have always looked to scripture for wisdom on how God’s leaders are to fulfill their callings. Many leadership studies have been written on prominent biblical leaders such as Moses, David, Jesus, and Paul. But virtually every book of the Bible gives witness to how God worked through a multitude of leaders across the centuries of biblical history.
One such leader is Nehemiah, the central figure of the book of Nehemiah, who lead the effort to rebuild Jerusalem after the Babylonian conquest. He completed the daunting task of reconstructing the city’s ruined walls in a mere 52 days. A careful analysis of the book of Nehemiah reveals that he accomplished this amazing feat through the exercise of leadership that was smart and savvy while also deeply grounded in devotion to God.
