Overcoming Apathy in Your Followers
Episode 7
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
Episode Summary. Few of us think we have the gifts to be a great leader; yet every married man has been assigned to the leadership role in his marriage. As Paul said “the head of a wife is her husband” (1 Cor 11:13). And of course we are assigned to lead our children as fathers. One of the biggest challenges for all leaders is motivating our followers to move in the direction we want them to go. Dwight Eisenhower, once said, “Leadership is the ability to get a person to do what you want him to do, when you want it done, in a way you want it done, because he wants to do it.” What a great description of Nehemiah. This episode examines how one of the greatest leaders in history overcame the apathy of the residents of Jerusalem to rebuild the wall around the city that had remained broken down for ninety years.For Further Prayerful Thought:What do you most want to remember about how Nehemiah motivated the people?How have you observed the principle that when people have ownership of a goal or an asset, they feel much more responsible and motivated to take action?As you consider the parallel between Nehemiah’s method for building the wall and God’s method for building the church, what most stood out about the church?
