Esther is someone we talk about quite a bit in women's ministry spaces, but Kelly Minter is here to give us deeper insight into the book of Esther. She shares what her opinion is on why God's name isn't mentioned, provides context for the famous verse in Esther 4:14, talks about how she approached the theme of reversals in the story, and more! Plus, she shares how Beth Moore, who first wrote an Esther Bible study in 2008, impacted her and how she has been honored to follow in her footsteps as a Bible teacher.

We were drawn to Tracie Miles' new book, God's Got You, because of the topic of embracing new beginnings with courage and confidence and remembering that God never changes. We can all relate to entering a life transition and feeling anxious, whether that transition is to something we’ve looked forward to or something we never saw coming. We loved this conversation with Tracie as she shared encouragement for women entering a time of transition, as well as how we can support our friends entering a new season.
