In todays episode we dive deep into the ancient heroic story of Queen Esther and the boldness she stood in to save the Jewish people against a plot to destroy them. It is such an encouraging and invigorating story with so many twists and turns and I hope it leaves each of us feeling like we too are born "for such a time as this". May it enrich you with courage and bravery!

In todays episode we take a look at what the Gospel really is. That word is thrown around all over society and can sometimes even be misrepresented in the Church because it seems like so few fully grasp what it is that Jesus actually came to do and give those who would believe. This episode is to set the record straight. I read from one of my own blogs which you can check out here if you would like to read it for yourself: https://ponderingwoman.com/2018/03/24/the-gospel-of-the-kingdom/

In todays episode we read an article of encouragement that highlights the rest and trust we can develop inside of acknowledging our "smallness". When we see ourselves in light of our Father's great majesty it ought to humble us and cause us remember that He is God and we are not and in this remembering we should find rest and hope from the overwhelm of this world. I hope todays episode does just that for you today. 

In todays episode we have a special guest on in the form of my husband Nick! It is such a pleasure to have him on the podcast as he shares his testimony and journey from finding God, to going quiet in his spirituality, to the surge of life he's found with Him today. I hope it encourages you and draws you deeper in your love of the Word of God and the beauty of seeking Him...even if you've wandered for a bit. 

In today's episode we look at the power of words. With words we have the power to create life or the power to create death. I hope that after you listening you are reminded to take inventory of what you are receiving into your mind that ultimately forms beliefs which finally becomes words and ask yourself: Do I want to live in the world my words are creating? If not, it may be time to renew that mind of yours in God that a new world can be created in and around you.

In today's episode we read from a short passage out of Lisa Bevere's book "Lioness Arising" and we consider the power of a people who are living dangerously awake. I hope it convicts and inspires you to live unapologetically wide-eyed and focused on who you are meant to be. 

On todays episode we rest ourselves in the God of hope, remembering that it is our great honor to carry hope in this life. We smash the lie that we shouldn't get our hopes up for fear of disappointment and rather believe that the essence of the gospel is a message of hope. So get your hopes up! And know that wherever your hope is weak it can be renewed and replenished as we look to our Father.
