INTRO:
Mavens, it’s time to step into 2025 with a mindset shift. What if I told you that faith and fear are battling for control, and the winner shapes your entire future? In today’s episode, we’re uncovering how Bible-based icons like Esther and breakthrough Hollywood actress Diahann Carroll turned fear into their greatest enemy and let faith pave the way to their purpose. Are you ready to conquer fear and claim your destiny?
Section 1: Faith and Fear in Scripture
Scripture: Esther 4:14 – “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
Hebrew Insight: The word ʿēt (עֵת) for “time” signifies a divinely appointed moment, not just chance. Esther wasn’t merely a queen; she was divinely positioned for a purpose.
Stories told:
Imagine Esther trembling as she prepared to approach the King uninvited. The law could mean death, yet the lives of her people depended on her courage. Fear was present, but faith in God’s purpose moved her forward.
Section 2: Diahann Carroll – Breaking Barriers with Faith
Historical Quote: “I like to think I opened doors for other women, although that wasn’t my original intention.”
Stories told:
Diahann Carroll shattered barriers in 1968, starring in Julia as the first Black woman to lead a prime-time TV series. Yet, behind her poise was a woman facing immense fear—of rejection, of scrutiny, of failure. Her faith in her God-given talent and her place in history carried her through.
Both Esther and Diahann Carol show us that faith doesn’t eliminate fear; it transforms it into purpose-driven courage.
