The Shocking History of Pageants You Didn’t Know About: Esther, Obedience & Destiny


Listen Later

What if the origins of pageantry weren’t about crowns, sashes, or stage walks—but about obedience, courage, and calling? In this powerful episode, Coach Megan uncovers the biblical roots of pageants through the story of Queen Esther, tracing how beauty, faith, and boldness saved a nation.

You'll discover how Esther’s journey from orphan to queen mirrors the modern-day pageant woman’s battle with identity, anxiety, and self-doubt—and how your God-given gifts aren’t random, they’re assignments.

This isn't just a history lesson. It's a wake-up call to stop procrastinating, start preparing, and show up for the calling God has placed on your life. Whether you're a pageant newbie or a seasoned competitor, this episode will rock your perspective and reframe why you're really in this arena.

✝️ Learn how to walk boldly in your calling, even when the stakes are high.

🎯 Plus: how to stop DIY-ing your prep and start becoming the woman who wins.
