Throughout Scripture, God raises up women in different seasons, for different missions. But what if you were born with the courage of Esther, the devotion of Ruth, or the surrender of Mary?
Esther: The Courageous Advocate Esther risked everything to stand up for her people. She used her voice not to elevate herself—but to protect the innocent. Modern-Day Esthers are intercessors, truth-speakers, and warriors in prayer. Are you being called to stand in the gap for Israel? For your community? For your family? “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)
Ruth: The Faithful Follower Ruth left everything behind to walk with Naomi—and ultimately stepped into the lineage of Christ. She didn’t need a platform. Just faith. Are you a Modern-Day Ruth? Loyal. Quietly obedient. Bold in your decision to follow God, no matter the cost? “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.” (Ruth 1:16)
Mary: The Willing Vessel Mary didn’t ask for greatness—she simply said yes. Yes to the impossible. Yes to the unknown. Yes to carrying Christ within. Modern-Day Marys embrace God's calling with humility and wonder. “I am the Lord’s servant... May your word to me be fulfilled.” (Luke 1:38)
