During difficult or trying seasons, there’s power in showing up. All of us are moved by stories of people who go beyond their own security and sense of comfort to show up for people in need. In this message, we’re asking ourselves this question: What does it look like to be people who show up for others but also as those who are fully alive in our own stories?

Esther’s story reminds us that, while there is often a cost to showing up for others, there is also a cost to not showing up. Esther’s boldness in the face of unimaginable fear inspires us to move from comfort to courage in our own lives so we can show up and make a difference for others.
