Listen to this sample broadcast by Judith Gonzalez, PhD entitled "Switch to the Fearless Mode" originally recorded on October 28th, 2012.

Podcast Summary: 
The purpose of Esther's life in the Bible was to demonstrate to Jews living in exile that it was possible to achieve success in the country of one's exile without giving up one's identity as a woman and a Jew. Esther saves her people, brings about the downfall of their enemy, and elevates her kinsman to the highest position in the kingdom. How do we apply these concepts to our life and work?
