Characters of the Bible, and their stories, are often sought out for guidance and wisdom in different areas of life. However, other Biblical characters who provide guidance are frequently overlooked.
In this newest Wesley Academy course, Wesley seminary has spotlighted Nehemiah and his testament to the holy calling of leadership. The story of Nehemiah’s amazing work in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem is well known. Less well known, though, are the unique lessons he personifies for being a leader today.
In this course, learners will explore a number of these leadership themes, including the role of prayer, the discernment of vision, the development of a team, and the work to persevere through inevitable challenges. By the end of this six-week course, the learner – and aspiring leader – will clearly see the relevance of Nehemiah for faithful leadership in the contemporary church.

Past Students Said…
“I hadn’t realized before how much of Nehemiah related to leadership. I had read it as a narrative but hadn’t thought much about the context. The instructor asked pertinent questions that prompted me to dig into the scripture more. I learned that Nehemiah was a strong leader who cared about those he was leading. He listened to their ideas, gave credit where credit was due and was willing to delegate.”
“I liked the very tangible “applied” focus of this course. The emphasis was on how to put lessons from Scripture into practice in a concrete way.”
“The course was well laid out. It included videos by Dr. Weems, which are always a pleasure to listen to. The instructor, Darla, gave significant feed back to answers which helped me know if I was on the right track”
“I had never studied Nehemiah before and I so very much enjoyed learning about him. The leadership methods are completely transferable and relevant to being a leader today – be it in a church or professional setting.”
“Darla has the most loving and knowledgeable and gentle way of helping us to better understand and appreciate what we are learning. I have taken so many courses on Be a Disciple and Darla’s classes are among my favorites.”
“Darla was the reason I took the class. From her wonderful way to helping us to learn (and learning from her students) to her incredible knowledge and application of scripture – she’s really a wonderful instructor”
