Stepping onto the road with faith as sandals, a brave people walks without an escort, trusting only in the good hand of God.

The scroll has found a servant, but the servant must now lead a people through danger. Between Babylon and Jerusalem lies a journey of risk, responsibility, and holy dependence. Ezra gathers families, searches for Levites, proclaims a fast, entrusts sacred treasure, and walks without a military escort because he has testified that the good hand of God is upon all who seek him. Stepping onto the road is faith with sandals on—careful, prayerful, accountable, and brave.
