Beth DeFazio (Biblical Communication & Speech Professor at Ozark Christian College) explores the salvation story of Esther and the Jewish people, as they overcome one man’s plan to destroy them all. Beth shows us that even when God is silent from our story, he is in control. God cares deeply for his people, he listens to their cries for help, and he acts justly.

Shouts in Silence - God is in Control: A Study in the Book of Esther

Beth DeFazio analyzes Esther's story, underscoring God's silent but active role in caring, listening, and ensuring justice for His people.

**Discussion Questions:**

- Who is your favorite superhero and why?

- Justice was served to Esther, Mordecai, and Haman, but all in different ways. What is your favorite “Justice Junkie” moment from chapters 5-7?

- Have you had a moment where you sought justice without waiting on the Lord’s 
guidance? Or, think of an instance when you allowed God to bring justice instead of taking matters in your own hands. What were the results in each scenario? 

- Compare the following passages. What do the differences between these reactions teach you about the goodness of God? Esther 4:3 VS.  Esther 8:16

- Pray for patience and trust in times of trial and for the strength to lean into the 
sovereignty of God’s plan.
