Inside Scoop...on Priscilla
Do we love Priscilla or what!
Honestly, the first time I learned I would get to be on the event team for Priscilla I didn't know much about her. I'd grown up in the Dallas area and loved her dad's preaching, Dr. Tony Evans, but at that point I was not familiar with any of Priscilla's Bible studies.
Our team went to dinner and I thought, "Priscilla is so fun. If I still lived in Dallas I would love to hang out with her." Then, after hearing and watching Priscilla teach God's word that weekend, I thought, "Wow! This Priscilla Shirer speaks God's Word with such authority. It is obvious God's anointing is on her. She reminds me of a modern day Samuel…set apart for God…except she doesn't literally live in the church…and she is a female." Refer to 1 Samuel 1:19-28 and 1 Samuel 3 to get the idea.
After that event, I gathered "my Bible study girls" and we spent Monday evenings "with Priscilla" leading us through God's word and challenging us to hear God's voice. What an amazing journey! Every time I get to hear God through Priscilla I love her more and I'm challenged to go Deeper Still in my relationship with God.
I would love to hear from any of the Going Beyond ladies in the DC or Houston areas. How have you been blessed by God through Priscilla's teaching and Bible studies? What about the way Priscilla leads a group in prayer?!

We first met Priscilla in Denham Springs, LA. She was the best kept secret that summer. It was such a joy and privilege to hear her speak at this conference and meet her and her husband, Jerry, personally. We just knew we had to do her Bible study. Now both studies later, she has given us the encouragement and confidence to stay in God's Word where we do hear His voice and know He speaks to me! Looking so forward to hearing the Word God has in store for all of us from all three speakers at this conference. Thank you for putting this together - May God richly bless you!

I first saw Priscilla in person in Lexington, KY in 2005 at a DayBreak event and I soon knew that this young woman was blessed with a speaking gift. Our Bible study girls did her first study, "He Speaks to Me", in Jan. 06 and really enjoyed it. Then, in Jan. 07 we did "Discerning the Voice of God" and, oh, my. LOVED IT! Learned much, challenged much. And, when she recites that "In Genesis, He is the breath of life..." and on throughout all the books of the Bible - whoo! Powerful. I watched it at home so I could type up her words and pass them on to the girls. I still love to read them and I can hear her passionate voice. She is an excellent teacher, well-organized, very personable and real. (and so gorgeous. don't even pretend you know anything about weight, girl!) Can't wait to see what the Lord has given her for this weekend.
