Welcome to Inside the Epicenter. In this heartfelt episode, cohost Lynn Rosenberg honors the legacy of Kay Arthur—a revered Bible teacher, mentor, and friend of the Joshua Fund—by sharing a powerful message Kay delivered on prayer, fasting, and God’s hidden presence in the Book of Esther. Drawing from Esther’s story, Kay reminds us that even when God seems silent, He is working behind the scenes. Through biblical insights and personal experience, she calls believers to humble themselves in fasting and prayer, especially for Israel and her neighbors during challenging times. Join us as we remember Kay Arthur’s impact and discover how we can trust God’s sovereignty and engage in meaningful prayer—no matter what we’re facing.

Verse of the Day: Esther 4:16. - Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. And I and my maidens will also fast, and then I will go into the king. This is not according to the law. And if I perish, I perish.

Prayer:

Praying that more and more people will pray and fast and ask the Lord to protect Israel, but also ask the Lord what their role is in standing with the people of Israel and the people in the epicenter, to bring God's word there, to bring the power of God's word.
Pray for more Christians around the world who will be willing to pray and fast
