Episode 253: The Walls, Gates & Towers of Nehemiah 3
Nehemiah 3 is not the kind of chapter most people linger on. It is a list of names, gates, and construction notes that we are all tempted to skim. But if we look close enough, tucked inside those overlooked details is one of the most vivid portraits of the Christian life found anywhere in Scripture. The walls, gates, and towers surrounding ancient Jerusalem serve as a roadmap for spiritual growth, personal boundaries, evangelism, restoration, and the lifelong journey of walking with Christ. In today’s episode pastor Greg Axe of Crest Bible Church joins us to unpack how this “boring chapter” becomes a practical, convicting, and hope-filled blueprint for every believer wanting to build, rebuild, or strengthen their life in Christ.
Greg Axe is author of several great books—including this recently released one called This is Your Life: A Study of Nehemiah Chapter 3 The Walls and Gates and Towers of Jerusalem.

Episode 226: The Altar of Incense & the New Testament Believer
The Old Testament tabernacle was meticulously crafted according to divine instruction and served as the central place of worship and communion between God and His people during Israel’s wilderness journey. Far more than a portable sanctuary, the tabernacle was the tangible manifestation of God’s presence dwelling among His covenant people. Its detailed construction, from the outer court to the Most Holy Place, was imbued with theological significance, providing the nation of Israel with rich symbolism in their worship.
The alter of incense was a sacred piece of furniture in the tabernacle used for burning incense as a daily offering to the Lord. It was located just outside the Holy of Holies. For the New Testament believer, the altar of incense has tons of typological significance, with layers of prophetic meaning, holding truths that find their fullest expression in Christ.
The tabernacle wasn’t just for Israel but it testifies to the divine design that culminates in Christ’s redemptive mission and relationship with mankind. To discuss the typology behind the altar of incense specifically, we have invited Brian Hedges, pastor at Heartland Baptist Fellowship in Harrisonville, MO and president of Word First Publishing.
