Esther 1

About this episode

The episode explores the theme of God's presence and governance in a secular world through the lens of the Book of Esther.

Is God at work in places where he is neither named nor worshiped? The book of Esther opens in a pagan palace far from Jerusalem, yet the Lord is already governing events and preserving His promises. Listen as we see the hidden hand of God in an ungodly world.
