If the good news about Jesus is so good, then why don't Christians share more about it? Maybe it's because we feel inadequate and don't know what to say. Or we are terrified of how our friends and family would react. Pastor Mike can relate.

In just a few short verses, Paul gives us a crash course on how to share the Good News with our friends and family.Get your copy of "Closer to God Each Day," our new 365-day devotional, with your financial gift to Time of Grace! https://bit.ly/49lCmWPIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

Let's be honest. It's too easy for us to forget God. When times are good, we're lost in the blur of blessings and forget about him. When times are bad, our hearts focus on the pain and we forget about him. So the big question is: how do we remember God? As Pastor Mike finishes teaching from the book of Esther, we discover—with great specificity and practicality—how we can always remember God and stay connected to him constantly .With your gift to Time of Grace, you can request your copy of "A Guide to Mental & Emotional Wellness" at: https://bit.ly/44giFflIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

Many of us claim to follow Jesus, but so often we fall short. We have the potential to love, to forgive, not to worry, to trust in God, not to fear cancer, to stand out in the crowd. But too often we fall short of that potential. So what can we do? Continuing through the book of Esther, Pastor Mike encourages us with these three things to remember as we live our lives for Jesus.With your gift to Time of Grace, you can request your copy of "A Guide to Mental & Emotional Wellness" at: https://bit.ly/44giFflIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

How much should we plan our lives when we know God's got plans for us? Should we be ruthless and driven about planning our schedules and our lives? Or should we be so trusting and so faithful that we just wait to see where God takes us? The answer, Pastor Mike says, comes from understanding that both approaches can be right—because truth is a tension. And, as we see from the book of Esther, we need to understand two certain truths to make our relationship right with God.With your gift to Time of Grace, you can request your copy of "Real Women of the Bible" at: https://bit.ly/3OQMOgZIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

What we go through—the good, the bad, and everything in between—is not random. It's not a matter of luck. Because there is no such thing as coincidence, Pastor Mike says.

When we are given the chance to do something good and right, something biblical and obedient, it’s not always comfortable or simple. Sometimes doing what is right in the eyes of God will be very risky. As Pastor Mike continues teaching from the book of Esther, he helps us see that sometimes God's purpose for us is to take risks to do what's right—even if it costs us everything.
