Are the circumstances of our lives really coincidences, or could there be a divine design at work?

In this episode, we explore the story of Esther and the seemingly unrelated events that placed and prepared her for “such a time as this”. From Esther’s remarkable story to the events that positioned the Smith family for the Restoration, we’ll explore how seemingly unrelated events can look very different when we look backwards and begin to recognise the Lord’s hand in the details.

Could the experiences, people, promptings and even unexpected turns in your own story be preparing you for something you can't yet see? And what might change if you asked Heavenly Father to help you recognise who you are, why you are here, and what He is counting on you to do?

What does it mean to become the woman the Lord needs you to be?

In this introductory episode, Sophie shares the heart behind Becoming Esther, why the story of Esther feels so relevant for Latter-day Saint women today, and the ideas that will shape the podcast going forward.

This is a podcast about recognising the Lord’s hand in your story, trusting His timing, receiving personal revelation, keeping your covenants, acting with courage and becoming an instrument in His hands.

You are here in the latter days for a reason. There are no coincidences. This is by divine design.
