When God turns the tables | Esther 8

Hey Reader,

On Friday, I mentioned that we’re bringing something new to Weekend in the Word. Today, I get to tell you all about it!

Over the past several months, I’ve been praying about how we can better serve you as a ministry. One thing that continues to be on my heart is helping you not only grow in your understanding of Scripture but also deepen your relationship with God through His Word.

I’ve often encouraged you to slow down, reflect, and rest in God’s Word, especially on the weekends. But I’ve also been thinking about how we can walk alongside you by providing a little more direction and intentionality during those moments.

Sometimes, we simply need a little guidance on where to begin.

So, we’re walking through Scripture together!

Last weekend, we began making our way through the Gospel of Luke. We’ll continue this Friday, and I’m inviting you to join me over the next several weeks.

Each weekend, I’ll share a portion of Scripture, a thread to help you connect what you’re reading, and a simple way to slow down, reflect, and rest in His Word.

My prayer is that these moments become something you look forward to each weekend. An opportunity to step away from the noise of the week, open your Bible, and draw near to the Lord with greater intentionality.

And this is just the first of several things I’m excited to share with you!

So, grab your Bible, find a quiet place, and come along with us!

Remember, time with God is time you’ll never regret spending.

YOUTUBE • SHOP • COMMUNITY JOURNALS • BIBLE PLANS Hey Reader, This Weekend in the Word is a reminder I needed myself. This week, I’ve found it especially difficult to turn my thoughts off. It seems like I’ve been caught in a never-ending loop of thinking about everything under the sun. Work, family, ministry, church, dinner, lunch, you name it. Even when I wasn’t physically doing something, my mind was busy trying to figure out what needed to happen next. And that’s when I was reminded of the...

Happy Global Bible Month! Hey Reader, If you know me, you know how much I love God’s Word. In fact, if you asked my children to name one thing their mommy loves, they’d probably say, “Reading the Bible!” The Bible has transformed my life, and I love helping others fall in love with God and His Word, too. That’s why I call myself a Bible Student-Teacher. I love how Luke 6:40 reminds me that a student is not above their teacher. No matter how much I teach Scripture, I’m still a student learning...
