Certain personal characteristics are needed when we begin the journey to rebuild our lives. One of those is boldness.
In “Preparation for the Journey,” the seventh message from the series “Rebuilding: Life Tools from Ezra-Nehemiah,” Dr. David Rhoades shows how Ezra’s bold faith enabled a faithful remnant of God’s people to complete a most improbable task.
Dr. David H. Rhoades is a believer in Jesus Christ who is passionate about disciple-making. A gifted author and speaker, he is the Senior Pastor at Broadview Church in Lubbock, Texas. He is producing a growing number of biblically-based resources that can help Christians lead the people in their circles of influence to become fully devoted followers of Christ. David was called to the gospel ministry in 1987, and he has been a pastor since 1995. After finishing his Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies at The Criswell College, he earned his Master of Divinity degree at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where he received the 1995 C.C. Randall Award for Evangelism. In 2005 he graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Doctor of Ministry degree in Missions and Evangelism, writing a ground-breaking doctoral project designed to help churches engage their multiethnic communities in ministry. Since 1995, he has served as a pastor to churches in Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. David enjoys cooking, reading books, cheering on the Texas Longhorns, and spending time with his beautiful wife Amy and their kids: Timothy, Jonathan, and Mindi.
