Hey Reader, Do you ever feel like the only Christian in your workplace, classroom, sports team, or ministry? The only one truly living for God's glory while surrounded by compromise? If so, I have a special word of encouragement for you today from the book of Esther. In today's Bible Study video on Esther Chapter 2, we see how God positioned Esther as the only Jewish woman in the king's harem. And it wasn't by accident - God had a kingdom assignment that only she could fulfill in that role. I pray this word lights a fire in you to embrace your anointing as "the only one" for such a time as this. Dig into the study now, and let's talk more in the comments about what this looks like practically! Before you go, be sure to grab the Esther Bible Study Guide below to enhance your personal study time and pull out the specific revelation God has for you in this powerful book.
Remember, all that time spent as "the only one" is preparation for promotion. Persevere in character and obedience - your "for such a time as this" moment is coming! P.s. Are you in the Cleveland, Ohio area and ready to explore the Bible with me? I’d love for you to join me this October for a 4-week series as we dive into my new book, Taking the 5 Leaps, and study God’s Word TOGETHER! We'll gather every Saturday at 11:00 a.m. LIVE at Church on the North Coast (Valley View Campus), walk through powerful principles and gain life-changing insights.It's going to be an amazing time of connection, growth, and fresh revelation from God. Register HERE.

Reader, I’ve been pondering a simple question this week: How do we return when life has crowded out the space we once guarded for God? Not because we stopped loving Him, but because life got loud, rhythms got disrupted, and before we knew it, what once felt protected began to feel crowded. And maybe the deeper question underneath that is this: How do we slow down enough to sit in surrender? I think it begins by recognizing that sometimes the greatest noise is not around us, but within us. The...

Hey Reader, If you’ve been around for a while, you may remember me talking about the difference between purpose and assignment. It’s something that’s been on my heart for a long time. And lately, it’s been coming back up again, so I want to sit with you in it for a bit today. I’ve always defined purpose as fulfilling the Great Commission—making disciples, telling people the truth about who Jesus is, and bringing souls to Christ. That part is the same for all of us. No matter your role, your...
