Nathanel Ballew speaks on Esther 7-8. as part of our Conspiracy series.

Many of us love a conspiracy theory, but there is really one conspiracy FACT behind them all. Even when we can’t always see his hand at work, ‘In all things, God works silently, yet certainly’ - Susanna Wesley In an age obsessed with conspiracy theories and hidden agendas, we often find ourselves searching for what’s real—yearning for a truth that cuts through the noise.

Join us for a five-week series where shadows loom large, motives are mixed, and danger is never far away. Yet woven through every twist is a deeper story: a truth that sets you free. Behind the schemes, the whispers, and the unseen threats, there is a hand at work. A hand guiding, aligning, and redeeming — even when it seems silent. The ancient biblical story of Esther reminds us that God is present in the gaps, active in the shadows, and faithful in the uncertainties. Across five weeks, Conspiracy uncovers the hidden workings of God in a world that feels out of control, revealing that the greatest truth is not the one shouted the loudest, but the one quietly shaping history.
