In this four-part series, Dr. Michael A. Youssef explores the powerful lessons modern believers can learn from faithful women in Scripture. Through the lives of Hannah, Jochebed, and Esther, he reveals how God uses ordinary people who trust Him to accomplish extraordinary purposes. From Hannah’s brokenhearted persistence in prayer, to Jochebed’s courageous faith in protecting and preparing her son Moses, to Esther’s bold obedience in a moment of crisis, each message highlights timeless Truths about surrender, faith, courage, and God’s sovereign calling. These Biblical examples challenge today’s generation to trust God in difficult circumstances, raise the next generation in Truth, and step forward with courage to meet the needs God places before us—for such a time as this.

In this final message, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Esther as a woman who saw the need and, by God’s strength, met the need. Scripture, the inerrant Word of God, shows that God placed Esther in the palace for His sovereign purpose: to intercede, obey, and risk everything for His people. Like Hannah and Jochebed, Esther teaches today’s believers to trust God when obedience is costly. Because Jesus Christ is the divine Savior and only hope for sinners, His people must not hide in fear or comfort. We must repent of passivity, pray with urgency, and say, “Here I am,” for such a time as this.
