What if this week's Come, Follow Me lesson isn't really about rebuilding a temple... but about rebuilding your life?

In this week's episode of Come, Follow Me Moms, we dive into the inspiring stories of Ezra, Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and Nehemiah and discover how God specializes in rebuilding what feels broken.

Maybe you're rebuilding your testimony.

Maybe you're rebuilding your marriage.

Maybe you're rebuilding your confidence as a mom.

Or maybe you're simply trying to rebuild your patience after a long summer with kids at home.

No matter what you're rebuilding, these chapters remind us that God is in the business of restoration.

This week, Cassie also shares a personal milestone as her oldest child starts high school while she prepares to welcome twins in just a few short weeks. From newborns to teenagers, every season of motherhood brings new challenges, new joys, and new opportunities to trust the Lord.

Together we'll learn why:

✨ God can work through people both inside and outside our faith to accomplish His purposes.

✨ The first thing the Israelites rebuilt wasn't their homes—it was the altar.

✨ Every mother is a builder, laying one faithful brick at a time.

✨ Comparison steals joy, but God celebrates progress.

✨ "The joy of the Lord is your strength."

✨ Why Nehemiah's words, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down" (Nehemiah 6:3), are a powerful reminder for every mom.

If you've ever felt discouraged, overwhelmed, or like you're rebuilding after a difficult season, this episode will remind you that the Lord has not forgotten you. Brick by brick, prayer by prayer, He is building something beautiful.

This week, ask yourself:

What is God inviting me to build?

Maybe it's your relationship with Him.

Maybe it's your marriage.

Maybe it's your confidence.

Maybe it's your child's testimony.

Whatever it is, don't underestimate small beginnings.

One prayer.

One scripture.

One act of kindness.

One encouraging word.

One brick at a time.

Because that's how God builds His kingdom.
