Episode #41: Finding Peace in Christ when God Seems Invisible with Lynn Cowell and Amy Carroll

The Refuge Podcast with Jennifer Elwood

I’m so excited for you to meet both of my guests today! For the last interview episode of our peace-focused podcast season, Lynn Cowell and Amy Carroll join me to lead you through their peace-filled takeaways from their new Bible Study called Esther: Seeing Our Invisible God in an Uncertain World.

We talked about:

• How their perspective changes as they more deeply studied the book of Esther
• Why they used the process of listen - feel - do - speak to open up Esther as they wrote their study
• Lynn discussed her lesson focused on listening and illuminates how Esther did this so well, and how that can bring peace to us
• Amy then chats about how she experienced greater peace through Esther’s story of feeling before she acted or spoke

You can check out a sample of Esther and learn more at https://estherbookstudy.com. (It may be the PERFECT Bible study for your women's group!) You can also grab a copy at Amazon and other online distributors.

I’ll be coming your way next week with a deep dive into Esther 4:14 since we are, in fact, created for such a time as this.

And, as mentioned in the mid-reel, here is the link to sign up for the free Count Up Virtual Event, headed your way November 1-5th.
