Summary
How’s your heart today? Yes, our nation is facing dark days—not unlike the Jewish nation in Esther’s time—and God is working today as He was working then. Today, as we look to the future, God is asking us to look first to Him. To pray. To fast. To believe—and to live like a set apart people. This is a “Haman moment” for the United States—but God is the God of Esther outcomes. **Find links and more under PODCASTS at HeidiStJohn.com**

| 0:27.2 | sent you. Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to off the bench. Today is Tuesday, |
| 0:35.3 | January 19th. It's the day before inauguration day here in the United States. And I wanted |
| 0:40.3 | to give you guys a shot in the arms of encouragement from God's word today because I believe that we |
| 0:45.9 | are living in a moment in a Heyman moment, but God desires an Esther outcome. Stick around. |
| 0:52.6 | I think you're going to be encouraged. So lots of things happening today. Obviously, you |
| 1:06.9 | know, what's going on in the news, just the the the inauguration of Biden. I can hardly |
| 1:14.2 | even say it into the White House. And I've been thinking, and you know, we'll talk about |
| 1:18.5 | this some more, I think on Thursday, when it's all said and done. But today, I really wanted |

| 1:33.5 | on. But I think it's always a good idea. Always a right thing for us to make much of the |
| 1:38.9 | gospel, to make much of Jesus, to make much of of our role in the world right now. And |
| 1:45.9 | we really do have an incredible, an incredible role to play before I get started. I want |
| 1:50.5 | to say thank you to Mallory from Clayton, North Carolina, Dina from Plano, Texas. We sure |
| 1:57.4 | love you guys and Vera from Whitby, Ontario. She's a new listener from Canada. And she said, |
