I heard Dr. Joan Prince speak at a leadership conference and couldn't wait for the opportunity to talk to her again. She's a woman who has overcome adversity and opposition. To this day, she's hard at work to bring about gospel-centered change. A little more about Dr. Joan Prince: She has served her community in many ways. She is a former university vice chancellor, former ambassador to the General Assembly of the United Nations, and has served on the board for a number of community organizations, including currently as chair of the board of directors for the Siebert Foundation. She grew up during the Civil Rights era in Milwaukee, often called one of the most segregated cities in America. Dr. Prince, a lifelong woman of faith, takes her experiences and continually works to bring unity by doing what she calls "gospel-centered change."Hey, Little Things listeners!

Sometimes we're the ones in dark times, in the middle of situations we never saw coming and weren't prepared to endure. From the outside looking in, things may seem to be smooth sailing, but inside closed doors, everything is falling apart. That must have been how it felt for Mordecai as he watched Esther being taken to Xerxes' harem and then married to an arrogant heathen emperor.

No doubt you've heard the phrase, "for such a time as this." Did you know that's just the last six words of a much longer Bible verse? The account of Esther has been glamorized. The truth is a much grittier account, fraught with evil and less-than-ideal circumstances. Today we start our series that takes a deep dive into the book of Esther. In this first episode of our 7-part series, we look at Esther chapter 1 to examine Xerxes, Vashti, and the nobles in the most powerful court of the time.

The two had such a great conversation, we wanted to share it with "Little Things" listeners too! // We may not have Moses' staff or the ten plagues to help us, but we are still like Moses in many ways. Like how we oftentimes don't think God can use us. But oh yes, God can and does certainly use us. Pastor Mike is joined by Amber Albee Swenson this month to give us a sneak peek at October's TV message series that takes a look at Moses' life and ours, "Am I Strong Enough?" Pastor Mike and Amber touch upon burning bush moments (or lack thereof in our lives), worry, idolatry, how God uses us, and many more topics! They also talk about October's resources. "Gifted for More" is a book by Dr. Bruce Becker. This engaging study shows you how to discover your own giftedness. Also included is Amber's book, "Chosen for More," which encourages you in the special role you have to play in God's story.
