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, Today, I’m sharing the Guided Scripture on the YouVersion Bible App from 2 John 1:6: “And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.” This verse reminds us that love isn’t just something we say or feel, it’s something we live. As you listen to the Guided Scripture today, take a moment to reflect. Where is God inviting you to walk more fully in obedience? Where might He be...
Hey Reader, These Weekend in the Word emails are just as much for me as they are for you. As I prepare them, they help me reset my heart, quiet the noise, and sit with Jesus in a way the week rarely allows. Lately, I've been thinking about a question I've returned to often, What would I tell my younger self about God's love? This weekend, my answer is simple. I would tell her not to skip the parts of Scripture that feel uncomfortable or confusing, especially the ones that seem intimidating....
