It brings us great hope because no matter what we're facing in our lives, no matter how bleak things look or how dark things look or, man, this person who's unjust has power, but oh, wow, I serve a God that can reverse that at any moment.

Anything in our life, we see that God has the power to reverse. And it is. It's a huge, huge theme in Esther. And I love, I love getting to talk about that because I think it's so

encouraging. And it's not just unique to the book of Esther. It is something that we see in both

the Old Testament and in the News Testament. And what greater reversal is there than Jesus being

crucified on a cross. And it seems that all is lost, all is done, death, and it is through the resurrection,

it is through the reversal. He gets resurrected, and now he has conquered sin through his death.

We have life through death. I mean, there's no greater reversal.

On today's 413 author and Bible teacher, Kelly Minter invites you into the daring faith

modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai, a faith that was developed over time, rooted in the

goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances,

and used to change the world. Although our time might look very different from Esther's,

our God is just as active and faithful today, and he has called you for such a time as this.

So let's dive into this fascinating book of the Bible with this amazing woman, Kelly,

and discover how Esther's story can inspire our own.

And, by the way, if you love to geek out, ooh, you are going to love this episode.
