The Lead Podcast

In this final solo episode with Amy walking through the book of Esther, we're unpacking the powerful conclusion of Esther’s story—a moment of breakthrough, justice, and celebration. The Feast of Purim marks the triumph over enemies, a reminder of God’s faithfulness in delivering His people.

As this episode airs on Good Friday, we reflect on this specifically in light of God's faithfulness in delivering humanity through another victory, Jesus’ triumph on the cross. Just as Esther’s story points to redemption, Good Friday reminds us that through Christ, ultimate victory is won and that we can hold fast to God's promises and victory when life feels tough and overwhelming.
