The Giant of Apathy - Nehemiah 2:1-9 - Skip Heitzig

The Oxford Dictionary defines apathy as “lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern.” It’s the state of being indifferent to something that should otherwise arouse, provoke, or motivate you. It has been noted that cooling down a fanatic is easier than warming up a corpse. When a person ceases to care, that person ceases to attempt change. Though Nehemiah had it made in terms of his earthly status, the condition in his homeland wouldn’t let him stay silent and inactive. Let’s explore the five steps he took to overcome the giant of apathy. This teaching is from the series Hunting Giants with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church. 00:00 Introduction 06:45 Information: Gather the Facts 16:33 Reaction: Let the Facts Stir You 21:20 Intercession: Turn Your Passion into Prayer 30:53 Action: Do Something! 37:19 Collaboration: Allow the Help of Others
