<p>Season 4 is here, and it’s time for a brand-new Bible adventure! In this episode, we zoom way back in time to a <em>huge</em> empire called Persia—full of fancy palaces, endless parties, and a king who loved being in charge. But behind all the sparkle and gold, something wasn’t quite right…</p><p>We’re introducing the book of <strong>Esther</strong>, a true story from the Bible about God’s people living far from home—and a girl whose name means <em>star</em>. ✨ At first, Esther is nowhere to be seen, but the stage is being set in a big way. A powerful king makes a shocking decision, a brave queen says one very important word (“no”), and suddenly the entire kingdom is turned upside down.</p><p>Grab your listening ears, get cozy, and step into a story full of drama, danger, and a mystery that’s just getting started… 👀</p><p><strong>Podcast Questions:</strong></p><ol><li><p>   How many provinces made up the Persian Empire?</p></li><li><p>  What was King Ahasuerus also known as?</p></li><li><p>   Who was the King&#39;s wife?</p></li></ol><p><strong>Recommended Resources</strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.readkaleidoscope.com/collections/yoto"><u>⁠Kaleidoscope + Yoto⁠</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.readkaleidoscope.com/collections/single-book-options/products/30-off-bright-star-the-story-of-esther"><u>A Bright Star: The Story of Esther</u></a></p></li><li><p>Follow us:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/readkaleidoscope"> <u>⁠Instagram⁠</u></a> |<a href="https://www.facebook.com/read.kaleidoscope.bible"> <u>⁠Facebook⁠</u></a></p></li></ul><p><strong>Leave Us a Review!</strong></p><p>One of the best ways that you can support this podcast is by rating and reviewing us!
