Send Me | Week 4 | How to Handle Discouragement

John Decker - January 27, 2026

Nehemiah and the people became discouraged halfway through the work. Why do you think discouragement often shows up in the middle of an assignment rather than at the beginning?
Pastor John talks about fatigue being a major cause of discouragement. What are some signs that you may be physically, emotionally, or spiritually tired?
What “rubble” might be cluttering your life right now and keeping you from fully pursuing what God has called you to do?
Nehemiah responded to fear by reorganizing and bringing people together. How does community help us overcome discouragement?

“God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called.”

“Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.”
