Feeling overwhelmed by a challenge you think you have to solve alone? You don't. This message from Nehemiah 3 shows why the secret to rebuilding broken things in your life starts with asking "who" instead of "how."

What you'll learn:

• Why trying to figure everything out yourself leads to burnout
• The power of asking who before how
• How diverse teams accomplish what individuals never could
• Where God has positioned you to make an impact right now

The wall around Jerusalem was rebuilt in 52 days. Not because one person worked harder. Not because Nehemiah was a genius. Because a community of people collaborated together to accomplish what could only be done as a shared vision.

Ever feel paralyzed by fear, unsure of how to act when facing challenging situations or discerning God's call in your life? Understanding the steps and courage required to follow God's guidance can feel overwhelming and everyday challenges can represent significant spiritual battles requiring immense courage and faith.

This week we dive into the story of Nehemiah's mission to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem, discover key insights about the importance of remaining sensitive to God’s work, the power of prayer, and the impact of small acts of faithfulness.

What breaks your heart enough to make you act?

When Nehemiah heard about Jerusalem's broken walls, he didn't just feel bad—he wept, fasted, and prayed for FOUR MONTHS before taking action.

This ancient story reveals a powerful truth: one person who sees what's broken and responds to God's call can literally change the world. Whether it's injustice, loneliness, hunger, or something else entirely—what's the thing you just can't stand to see broken? That burden on your heart might be exactly what God wants to use to make a difference.

This Week's Challenge: Practice noticing what breaks your heart. Journal one sentence each day and pray about it. Don't try to fix anything yet—just pay attention to where God is stirring.

In this final message of our Simple series — Less Noise, More Jesus — Pastor Shane explores what it truly means to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).

Through a story about misplaced priorities, everyday busyness, and even phone-scrolling at night, this talk invites us to slow down, declutter our lives, and refocus on what truly matters: pursuing Jesus and living out His kingdom of love.

So often, we fill every inch of our schedule and soul — and accidentally crowd out what’s most important. But Jesus offers us something radically better: a simple, abundant life marked by rest, joy, and peace.

Are you living a cluttered, chaotic life? In this message, we explore how busyness, unhealthy relationships, negative thoughts, material possessions, and even soul clutter keep us from experiencing the abundant life Jesus promises.

Drawing from Matthew 6:25-34, we discover that Jesus invites us to stop worrying and striving, and instead focus on His kingdom where true peace and joy are found.

Key Areas of Clutter:• Cluttered schedules - the ruthless elimination of hurry• Cluttered relationships - setting healthy boundaries• Cluttered thoughts - overanalyzing, negativity, worry, comparison• Cluttered stuff - the never-ending pursuit of more• Cluttered soul - guilt, shame, and striving for God's approval

The Challenge: Don't try to tackle everything at once. Choose ONE area and take ONE small step this week. Every renovation starts with the first swing of the hammer.

Less noise, more Jesus. That's the simple life.

It all started innocent enough. You felt like you were serving your values, stewarding your calling, and working hard to support your family.

But soon the pace was unmanageable.

This week at Pathway we're exploring a different rhythm for living.

Cause you're not going to repair in a weekend what you've spent a lifetime tearing down. But you can start to learn the Jesus way of living.

You wake up January 1st with hope. This year will be different.

By February? Gone.

The problem isn't you. The problem is noise.

Gym influencers. Self-help gurus. Everyone screaming "transform everything now."

What if the answer isn't massive action? What if transformation happens through consistency, not intensity?

Today: One habit. Small enough to do every day for 365 days.

Five minutes of prayer. One chapter of Scripture. Ten minutes of walking.

Feels insignificant? You're laying a stone.

Pick one thing. Do it tomorrow. Do it again.

By December, you won't recognize who you've become.

Not from a giant leap. From 365 small steps in the same direction.

Start small. Let's go.
