About this listen

 You Were Chosen on Purpose. Your husband loves you deeply. He would do anything for you. However, remaining silent in the face of harm often stems from cultural or perceived rules that prioritize peace over truth and safety.

Esther is enthroned. She shouldn’t have been—but she was. She was chosen. Favoured. Positioned. Esther was an orphan. She had no parents to advocate for her. She came from a conquered people. Her cultural background was completely different from King Ahasuerus. She did not grow up in privilege or proximity to power. And yet—she was chosen. And I want to pause right here, because I believe there are women listening to me who need to hear this plainly: You may feel like you shouldn’t be where you are—but you are. Some of you are wives who feel like you don’t quite “fit” the family you married into. Some of you were adopted. Some of you grew up poor and married into wealth. Some of you are from a different race, ethnicity, or cultural background. Some of you are children born out of wedlock. Some of you carry a history that doesn’t look polished or perfect. It does not matter. You are chosen. And for some of you, the way you met your husband was nothing short of miraculous. You met at uni. At work. In church. In places that felt ordinary—but God was orchestrating something extraordinary. Maybe it happened quickly. Maybe there was opposition. Maybe there were other “options” in the room—but the favour landed on you. Your husband loves you deeply. He would do anything for you. You were chosen. When Being Chosen Starts to Feel Confusing But then… things changed. Some things began to happen in your marriage or family that started making you wonder: Did I make a mistake? Am I in the wrong marriage? Why is my husband making decisions that don’t reflect who he used to be? And you start asking questions you never thought you’d ask. Is he under an influence? Is he bewitched? Is he being advised poorly? Like King Ahasuerus, your husband may be surrounded by voices— his mother, siblings, friends, culture, social media—feeding him noise, opinions, pressure, and junk. And those voices are pulling him—and your marriage—apart. And here’s the hardest part: You know something isn’t right. You know you need to speak. But you’re afraid. Afraid of breaking “protocol.” The Dangerous Lie of Waiting for an Invitation Esther had a legitimate excuse. In Persian culture, approaching the king without invitation could mean death. There was a real law. A real risk. And many women today carry their own version of that excuse: “I can’t speak up unless he asks.” “I shouldn’t rock the boat.” “A good wife stays quiet.” “If I say something, I’ll ...
