A Jesus-loving woman, at her core, desires to please God, walk close to Him, love her people well, and serve her family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors with care. She longs, deep down and often in a hidden place, to live a life that matters and feels fulfilling.

These desires sometimes come from a place of wanting to obey Jesus no matter what. But other times, the cost of doing the uncomfortable just seems too much.

Authors and speakers Amy Carroll and Lynn Cowell unpack the story behind the book of Esther and what it means to be a woman who moves into the uncomfortable as her act of obedience to God in this six-section InScribed Bible study. If you are growing uneasy with your current, comfortable life you find yourself in; if you feel God calling to you more than observation of the world around you, this study will:

encourage the wisdom and practice to listen before doingdiminish your fear of doing it wrongreplace your concern of being misunderstood with a passion for obeying Godembolden you to action in the unique calling God has for you

About the Author

Lynn Cowell & Amy Carroll

Lynn Cowell is a part of the Proverbs 31 Ministries speaking team, speaking to pre-teens, teens, multi-generational and women’s conferences and retreats on a regular basis. Girls often come up to her saying, "How did you know that's what I was going through?" Hearing direction and guidance on critical issues they face, Lynn encourages them to reach their fullest potential by finding the relationship in Christ they were created them for. For the past 18 years, her ministry has helped thousands of girls and their moms:

Replace loneliness, rejection, and pain with acceptance, affirmation, and approval. Make decisions that lead women to reaching their fullest potential, rather than being a victim to emotionally-based decisions. Shift faith in Jesus from a parental influence to a personal, growing relationship. Develop and stick to boundaries that protect the heart, mind, and body. Communicate with guys and other girlfriends in a healthy and positive way.

In addition to speaking on the national level, Lynn reaches many through her writing as an author of three books, blogger, and devotion writer. As a regular contributor for the Proverbs 31 Ministries’ daily devotions, Encouragement for Today, her devotions reach an audience of over 800,000 subscribers. She has been a regular contributor for The Whatever Girls and The Mom Initiative. Lynn and her husband, Greg, of 30 years, are the parents of three young adults: Zak, Mariah, and Madi. The Cowells reside in North Carolina where they enjoy hiking in the mountains, wearing well-worn sweatshirts and eating anything that combines chocolate and peanut butter.

Amy Carroll is a speaker and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries and the author of Exhale and Breaking Up with Perfect. She's a woman who loves great stories and challenging ideas, so co-hosting the Grit 'n' Grace podcast has also become one of her favorite things.
