In this nine-part series, Rebuilding Our Broken Walls, Dr. Youssef looks at the life of Nehemiah — a man who answered God’s call to rebuild the walls surrounding Jerusalem. In this series of hope, perseverance and courage, you’ll learn practical ways to stand firm on God’s word in difficult times.

In this second message of Rebuilding Our Broken Walls, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to rise above fear and cultural intimidation through the power of persistent prayer and godly vision. Drawing from Nehemiah 2, he reminds us that God uses ordinary people—like Nehemiah and missionary pioneer William Carey—to do extraordinary things for His Kingdom. As Nehemiah faced fear, hostility, and the impossible decree of a pagan king, he overcame through fervent prayer, unwavering courage, and a shared vision with God’s people. Today, in a world of moral ruin and spiritual compromise, God is still looking for men and women who will say, “Let us rebuild.” The call is urgent—let us be faithful.
