Over the past couple of weeks we’ve done a deep dive study on the life of Esther a young Jewish woman, who, through divine interactions becomes queen.

Last week on the podcast we expanded on the importance of Esther’s positioning and saw that when we are elevated in any area of life it’s because there is a specific work we have been predestined to do. In Esther's case, she was elevated on assignment to be able stand up for the Jews.

Today we see the most important parts of Esther’s life unfold because in the passages we read her purpose is complete. Let’s pick up in her story to see how the lessons from her life apply to me and you!

Leveled up recently? Good for you! But guess what sis? That means there is work to do! 

On today's episode of the Esther Series we continue reading through the life of Esther and we see how her being positioned in the palace came with a level of responsibility. So many times when we level up or glow up we think "It's all about me!" But when we are in the body of Christ, we have to understand there is a greater purpose God is trying to accomplish through our lives in His perfect timing.

Over the past several weeks we've discussed the importance of getting rest, trusting God and being good stewards of our bodies. While, in theory, we all may know sabbath and self-care are great, without determining on the front end why you want to prioritize these areas, we are likely to go astray. 

On today's episode we wrap up this podcast series by discussing what our why is - specifically focusing on three self-care areas - sleep, diet, and our appearance.

If you are tired of starting each day as if it were on accident and want to be intentional about what you do tune into today's episode and invite a friend to listen too!

People are dying and the cause is not disease. The issue we have today is constant comparing. Armed with envy and social media feeds, we are lusting after the lives other people have instead of thriving in the places God predestined us to be. This is not only wrecking homes and workplaces, it's causing us to have issues with our identity. 

But what if we could reverse it? What if we could lower suicide rates, job turnover and divorce rates by simply learning to be content with what God says we need. We'll talk about this and more in our Bible Study for this week.

Many people glorify constant movement but what if God wants you to be still? What if, by taking a step back from the constant hustle and bustle you could tap into some divine truths and revelations God wants to reveal?

On today's episode we discuss the three major benefits you receive when you decide to unplug and prioritize stillness and resting. By sharing my personal testimony from taking an unexpected 6 month sabbatical from work I hope to convey that more than anything, God wants to ensure that He's your #1 priority.

Tired of trying to be everything to everybody? We feel you sis. That's why all month long we're talking about the importance of self-care and sabbath rest. 

In today's episode we break down Jesus' invitation to come to Him when we feel like our load is burdensome. Based on my personal testimony, I'll be sharing the three questions you should ask yourself before overcommitting to activities. 

It's time to take back our mental capacity and enjoy the rest Christ freely gives. Be sure to share this episode with friends!
