Episode 16: Esther - Women of the Bible Series

Car Chat Podcast with Amy & Jamy

Send us a text

We are so excited to be back! It's been a few months since we've recorded an episode of Car Chat Podcast. In the intro, Jamy shares that her husband, Todd, was in a catostrophic car accident in July that Jamy has been by his side in recovery. God has been so faithful. But, we have missed having these conversations and sharing them with you.
Here's episode 16 and we are talking about ESTHER! It's easy to romanticize the highlights of her life without having the full context in view. Through our conversation, we will focus on the entirety of her life and all the ways she bravely embraced her circumstances and grew into a woman of purpose and influence.

She is a lot like me.
Who God was to her, he is to you and me.
Who was she? Esther:
1. had grit in challenging circumstances.
2. was more than her beauty.
3. lived brave.
We pray it encourages you.
Love,
Amy and Jamy
