About this episode

Pastor Chuck Swindoll teaches about overcoming the desire for vengeance and trusting God as your defender.

Have you felt the urge to strike back? The Jews faced the same temptation, yet they showed remarkable restraint while defending themselves. They could have destroyed their enemies completely and taken their spoils, but they chose not to (Esther 9:1–16). Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he teaches how to overcome the desire for vengeance and live confidently, knowing the Lord is your ultimate defender. Discover the freedom that comes from trusting God to fight your battles for you.
