By Pastor Barron Greenwalt, En-Joy Ministries We must protect religious liberty in this country! As threats to our faith and freedom grow, Christian men have a God-given responsibility to stand as protectors—rooted not in fear, but in the active, protective love that Scripture commands.

Pastor Barron Greenwalt highlights the profound revival experienced by the exiled people in Nehemiah 8, emphasizing the significance of attentive reading and understanding of God’s Word. The process of revelation, repentance, and joy led to spiritual renewal, showcasing that true revival starts with Scripture and culminates in joyful obedience and strength from the Lord.
Pastor Barron Greenwalt discusses Nehemiah’s leadership in addressing economic injustices in ancient Jerusalem, drawing parallels to modern governmental corruption. Emphasizing Nehemiah’s bold reforms, such as abolishing usury and promoting debt forgiveness, he encourages Christians to advocate for tax justice and accountability in today’s political landscape for societal restoration.
At En-Joy Ministries, we explore the biblical meaning of joy, rooted in the Hebrew simchah and Greek chara, reflecting gladness and spiritual fruit. Joy fuels faith, embodying Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Our mission, inspired by the prefix “EN,” centers on four actionable, joy-driven concepts: Enable (Philippians 4:13), Enrich (Psalm 16:11), Encourage (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and Enjoy (John 15:11). Through Paul’s endurance, David’s worship, the early church’s unity, and Jesus’ promise of fullness, joy empowers us. Join us to embrace joy, finding strength to live out God’s calling.
Christian men must remain vigilant and prepared to face both physical and spiritual challenges. Drawing from biblical principles, the call to action emphasizes courage, strength, and responsible leadership. They are urged to protect their families and communities while embodying godly attributes through prayer, resilience, and the full armor of God.
