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, “For such a time as this.” It has become somewhat of a clarion call in Christian circles. We quote it when someone steps into purpose, begins something new, or recognizes that perhaps God has positioned them somewhere for a reason. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But as I prepared for our upcoming study through Esther, I was reminded of something important: those words were spoken in the midst of grief, uncertainty, difficulty, and an unimaginable amount of weightiness....
Hey Reader, The question has already started coming in: “What are we studying next?” Well, consider this your official invitation. 👑 Beginning October 12, we’re opening our Bibles together and stepping into the Book of Esther. You may already know about the queen, the courage, and those famous words, “for such a time as this,” but I can tell you now—there is so much more waiting for us in this story. So, here are the details for your invitation: WHO: You & FriendsWHAT: The Book of EstherWHEN:...
Hey Reader, Last week, we began a three-part conversation I'm calling, The Return. We talked about those seasons when life gets busy, our rhythms change, and we suddenly recognize a distance in our time with God. Rather than allowing guilt or shame to keep us focused on the distance, I encouraged us to focus on the return because the distance may have happened, but the return is what matters most. This week, I want to share one of the ways I intentionally return when I recognize that distance...
