In this episode of the City Church Charlotte podcast, the conversation continues in the book of Esther with a focus on courageous faith and the kind of courage that requires real risk. Using Esther’s decision to step forward before the king as the foundation, the discussion explores what it means to live beyond comfort, make difficult stands for integrity, and trust God in moments that feel costly or uncomfortable. The episode connects Esther’s courage to everyday life, including family decisions, workplace integrity, generosity, forgiveness, and faith conversations, while pointing to Jesus as the ultimate source of courage through His sacrifice and obedience. As the new year begins, listeners are encouraged to take faith-filled steps, keep their eyes on Jesus, and trust that God is with them as they live boldly in 2026.
