As the city of Jerusalem begins to flourish once again, the people are faced with a crucial decision: who will stay and help rebuild their new home?

  • The key players and events that shaped the city's rebirth. We meet the princes of the people who lived in Jerusalem, the Levites who were tasked with rebuilding the city, and the priests who played a vital role in the community.
  • As the city's walls are completed, the people come together to celebrate with music, singing, and praise.
  • How worship and praise correspond with thanksgiving.
  • The logistics of the celebration, including the appointment of singers and gatekeepers, and the importance of the Levites' role in the community.

Join Jenn as she explores the rich history and spiritual lessons of Nehemiah 11 and 12. Listen in to discover how the people of Jerusalem came together to rebuild their city through faith, praise, and thanksgiving.

Jenn Kokal grew up in a Christian household. In 2019, she noticed a common problem - too many Christians questioning faith, God, and the validity of the Bible. Since Jenn had a newfound love for God's Word, she wanted to spread its truth. Thus, P40 Ministries and The Bible Explained were born. Jenn's mission with The Bible Explained podcast is to go through the Bible cover-to-cover while answering common questions about God, Christianity, historical validity of the Scriptures, and the state of the world.

In her personal life, Jenn is a homebody who loves playing music, painting, and being a youth leader alongside her husband. Jenn lives in a little house in the middle of the Ohio sticks with her husband of eleven years and their two Jack Russells, Bandit and Cody.
