If you've ever felt inadequate or pushed into overwhelming circumstances, the Book of Esther is for you. Esther was given one of the world's hardest assignments: to protect God's special people from an evil plan. But it wasn't because she was extra brave or super-extraordinary. Other than her beauty, she was a normal girl. But her life reminds us that every True Girl has a purpose and sometimes, it takes great patience to live it out.

In this six-day reading plan by Kelly Minter, you’ll dive into the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai—a faith rooted in God's goodness, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.

Do you have a burning desire to do something significant with your life but don’t know where to begin?

Bobbie Houston has especially prepared this unique 7-day Sisterhood Devotional journey to reveal God’s heart-to-heart whisper for your life. Find your place of influence; be empowered as a catalyst for change; face the future with a smile and ‘shout’ of expectation as you help to make the world a better place.

We’re all part of God’s global community, whether it’s in your neighborhood or across the world. Be inspired as you discover the stories and impact of people in the Bible who embraced their cross-cultural community, even when they were in danger or enslaved! 

God is the ultimate designer. He created the heavens and the earth and inspired men and women throughout the bible to build temples, construct "fine" garments and prepare to meet with kings.

Esther did not have a typical queen's backstory. She was an orphan, living in a strange land with her kind cousin Mordecai. The world overlooked her potential. But God did not. Esther became queen and overcame unbelievable circumstances all because of a single truth; a truth that applies to us as well: God has chosen us for this very moment. Begin discovering today how to live out your unique calling.

Can beauty really come from the ashes in our life? It's easy to miss God's presence when we are walking though the unknown. This plan will challenge us to look beyond our struggles, move forward in faith and equip us to speak hope + victory over one another. Discover invaluable lessons as you endure the refining process. It's here, in our darkest places God meets us like never before.

As Christians, many of us are experiencing an increase of hostility from society. Instead of being the majority, we feel like a rejected minority. Let us re-read scripture through the eyes of those who felt like foreigners and strangers. They can show us how they were able to trust and be used by God to extend his kingdom from the margins, often without significant power, authority or influence.

What does it mean to man up? Ironically, one of the greatest explanations in the Bible is given by a woman! In this Plan, we will explore the concept by studying the heroic story of Queen Esther. Are you ready to man up?
