Esther: Our God will never remain silent

About this episode

The episode explores the spiritual themes in the Book of Esther and how it illustrates God's care for His people.

We consider something that I have had trouble conveying in my church and in my podcasts: how we know that we can relax and depend on God to take care of us. We do this by looking at the Book of Esther, an ancient Hebrew story (and not really "history") about a woman who saves the entire Jewish people from annihilation. God is never mentioned in the story. Neither is prayer, the history of the Israelites, the covenant with God, or theology ever explicitly mentioned. Yet, we see that this is a deeply spiritual book - and therein lies our secret.
