Well, hello friends! In this episode of Called and Dangerous, Dana Hildebrand dives deep into the story of Nehemiah 4 and the powerful lesson of building and battling,how to keep moving forward in your God-given calling even when opposition rises up against you.

As believers, we often find ourselves asking, “Why is this so hard when I’m doing all the right things?” But as Dana reminds us, obedience doesn’t mean the absence of resistance. In fact, it often means you’re right where you’re supposed to be.

Through the story of Nehemiah rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, Dana unpacks:
🔥 How to persevere when the enemy tries to discourage or intimidate you
⚔️ What it looks like to build with one hand and battle with the other
💡 Why opposition doesn’t mean you’ve missed God—it often confirms your assignment
🕊️ How to discern spiritual resistance and fight back with truth and faith
💬 And how to stand firm in your healing, even when your bold obedience shakes the systems around you

This episode will encourage you to press in, stay present, and trust God’s voice, even in the midst of tears, tension, or transition. You’ll be reminded that the enemy’s attacks are proof of your impact, and that perseverance always produces purpose.

Dana also invites you into reflection:

• Where have you persevered and seen God’s faithfulness on the other side?

• Or are you in a season right now where you’re still building and battling?

Let’s rise together, pray for one another, and keep standing strong—because God’s promises are worth fighting for.
