Transformation rarely looks the way we expect it to.

In this episode of The Esther 4:14 Podcast, Esther reflects on the life cycle of the monarch butterfly and what it teaches us about seasons of transition—especially the ones where growth feels slow, hidden, or unseen.

The monarch’s time in the cocoon can feel like stillness from the outside, but it is a period of intense internal change. Drawing parallels to Scripture and lived experience, this teaching episode invites listeners to consider what it means to trust the process when progress isn’t visible, to persevere through discomfort, and to allow God to do deep work beneath the surface.

If you’re in a season where you feel stuck, uncertain, or tempted to rush the outcome, this episode offers perspective, encouragement, and practical wisdom for moving forward with faith and intention.

Transformation may feel invisible—but it is rarely inactive.

Words meant to build, benefit, and guide—
for such a time as this.

Welcome to The Esther 4:14 Podcast.

In this introductory episode, the host, Esther May, shares the heart, purpose, and calling behind the podcast—and the meaning of Esther 4:14 as both a Biblical anchor and a lived framework for navigating life’s defining moments. These are the moments that shift perspective, demand perseverance, and often precede transformation.

Inspired by the story of Queen Esther, this podcast explores the shift points of life—seasons of transition, adversity, resilience, faith, and divine timing. Esther also introduces LatreiaLiving and the Esther 4:14 Advisory, created to support individuals navigating responsibility, leadership, and change with clarity, courage, and discernment—especially when the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t yet clear.

If you’re in a season of transition, questioning what comes next, or sensing that you were placed where you are for a reason, this podcast was created for you.

You’re not here by accident.
you’re here—for such a time as this.
