Ryan Russell, Legacy’s Next Gen Pastor, explores the call to steward all that God has entrusted to us, including our time, resources, and technology. Rooted in Nehemiah 2–4, the sermon emphasizes a simple but powerful truth: every life is being shaped, and what we don’t intentionally build, the world will shape for us.

Nehemiah’s rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls reveals that walls are built because something valuable is worth protecting. In our own lives, some access points carry greater influence than others, making it essential to identify what truly matters. As followers of Christ, we are all gatekeepers, responsible for discerning what we allow in and what must stay out.

The message also makes clear that healthy boundaries are not built through willpower alone. God invites us to rebuild with him. When built with God, walls do not limit life; they protect the life God is actively growing within us. No matter what has been broken down, rebuilding is always possible.
