Episode Summary:

Born out of both a DNA vision conference and the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch, the Nehemiah Center shows that real transformation requires more than relief—it demands a biblical worldview that shapes families, communities, and entire cultures. From creative outreach through sports and family activities to discipling over 100 families in a single year, their approach fosters reconciliation, integrity, and thriving communities. Their work with the indigenous Miskito people demonstrates how small acts of biblical living—like modeling honesty and refusing bribes—can spark lasting economic and social change.

This special episode comes from DNA's 2025 Forum in Panama, where Luke and Tim sat down with Nehemiah Center leaders, Andy Baker and Daniel Borge, who are championing biblical worldview training in the beautiful nation of Nicaragua. Hear powerful stories of paradigm shifts, and how every believer can practically play a role in discipling their families, churches, communities, and even nations.
