Hello, beauty! Jaime here, and I'm so excited to dive into today's episode with you. Whether you're driving, multitasking, or curled up with a cup of tea, this discussion is crucial and timely. We're talking about discernment in these perilous times, inspired by the biblical story of Esther, a tale of courage, strategic action, and divine guidance.
