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.

Reader, Today, we begin. Colossians was written by the apostle Paul while imprisoned, to a church he'd never visited but deeply cared for. That church was being pulled toward ideas that mixed truth with philosophy, legalism, and mysticism. Paul's response is one of the most exalted descriptions of Christ in the New Testament: the image of the invisible God, the one in whom all things hold together, the head of the church. Today's video went live at 7:00 a.m. ET and walks through that overview...
Reader, This is it. Psalms 97–100 are waiting for you — and I want you to open them slowly this week. Not because they're difficult. But because they deserve the same unhurried attention you gave Psalm 51 on the first morning of June. You began this journey on the floor with David — reaching for God from the wreckage of his choices, asking for something that didn't yet exist in him. And this week, you arrive at a crescendo. Every thread this summer has carried — repentance, refuge, worship,...
