Esther’s story isn’t the tale of sweet obedience your Sunday School teacher told you. It’s a complex, political, and feminist **narrative about women navigating power in a patriarchal system.
In this episode of Bow Down, Reese and Dennis unpack the Book of Esther through a feminist and deconstructionist lens, exploring Vashti’s revolutionary “no,” Esther’s strategic “yes,” and what both reveal about women, autonomy, and power in faith communities.
