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.

Hey Reader,Most of us don't walk away from the Word dramatically.We just stop having somewhere to go with it. The study ends. Life fills back in. And somewhere between Sunday and Sunday, our Bible stays closed. Not because we don't want to open it or stop caring, but because there’s no structure pulling us back and no one studying alongside us. It’s easy for that to feel like “falling away.” But it’s really the beginning of something more subtle and more dangerous. Drifting. I’ve learned that...
Hey Reader,A quick note before I begin: this particular email is for the ladies. For the men reading… thank you for being here. Something special for you is coming very soon. Be on the lookout.____ Reader, whether you've been in the Thessalonians series with us or you're coming to this fresh, I have an invitation for you. As we close our time in Thessalonians, I keep thinking about what happens after a study ends. Because the goal was never just to finish the videos. The goal was to become...
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...
