The Perhaps Podcast idea came from a conversation. After my own unique season of life change, a mentor simply challenged me to dream far bigger than my present reality. That evening, I sat down with my Bible and dove into into the book of Esther. Mordecai said arguably the most famous line in the entire book to the girl he practically raised as a daughter. He spoke life and instilled such a boldness into this girl as he said “If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” Esther 4:14. 

I put my finger on the word, "Perhaps." If I can articulate a part of my heart and passion, it is to instill truth and leadership potential in girls and women. Ultimately pointing out people who have courageously gone before them and allowing these Podcast guests to speak life and truth like Mordecai did for Esther. My prayer is that this translates to you well. Perhaps it will instill words of life as we dive into conversations with various friends and strangers who are pursuing the Lord.
