Knowing Your Purpose
Esther was given one of the world’s hardest assignments: to protect God’s special people from genocide. But it wasn’t because she was extra-brave or super-extraordinary.
In fact, other than her beauty, she was a normal girl. But her life reminds us that every one of us has a purpose and that it sometimes takes great patience and risk to live it out.
Dannah Gresh, founder of True Girl, and author of Esther: Becoming A Girl of Purpose, a devotional for tween girls, joins us to discuss the importance of teaching young girls to meet with God in His Word, for their hearts to be shaped by who He says they are rather than the culture.
And, How the one story of the Bible is all about Jesus, how to discern God’s timing in our lives and grow in wisdom at every age, and how the story of Esther points to Jesus!
Also, Shawna often asks “Who Am I to be in this important moment I’m in,” or “Have this responsibility I have?” (You fill in the blank.) But when she thinks of God’s attention to detail and intentionality she finds herself asking, “Who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this!”
Perry has found himself fighting an emotional, mental, and spiritual battle on his own. Because has been too proud to open up about it. But finally, he decided to call in the brothers and the sisters!
We live in an on demand culture. We get what we want, when we want it at the click of a mouse. I mean Amazon has same day delivery. But praying for an answer to prayer requires a completely different mentality, an “I will keep on praying about this till I draw my final breath” mentality.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
