Yes!! I am fascinated by the way all three of you teach. I know that each of you spend much time in prayer and study and God guides you. That said, my question still is - how exactly do you speak for 1 1/2 hours non-stop with a continuous train of thought and a solid message while only rarely referring to your notes?

When researching or writing a study, how do you stay on track without chasing "Scripture rabbits?" I could spend hours getting lost digging in the Scriptures and then realize I still did not finish the one word or verse I started with. With such vast treasures available, how do you determine what to include and what to set aside for another study?

Thank you so much! We love you!

Like so many others, I have been unemployed for a long time. I struggle with the lack of structure and tend to waste time. Without a human boss watching/guiding, what motivates you to get up each day and write, and how do you determine how much you will get done? And if you have to answer to your husband or someone in your ministry, any advice for those of us without husbands or publishers? How do you create structure to be productive without being so legalistic that you are not open to the Spirit's leading?

Thank you!

Another question:

Kay, Beth, and Priscilla - Do you know how much we appreciate you?

Even though most of us have never met you and you don't know our names, you always make us feel like you really care about each of us. Thank you so much for that and for teaching us God's Word!

And many thanks to Travis and his team, all the great folks at Lifeway, we appreciate y'all!!!

If you could ask God one question what would it be?

What do you feel the spiritual tempeture is with the church is today as a whole...
Why as an individuals are we not sold out, single hearted and cunsumed with the Lord..

Kay, Beth and Priscilla, I cannot wait for this event! It has been my favorite event and I hate to see it come to an end. My question is, what if you really feel that the Lord is calling you to the mission field (wherever that may be for me) but not my husband? My husband is a believer too but is not feeling like he is there in his journey. I have continued to pray about this and feel I am in a waiting place. And maybe that is all, I just have to wait. What do you all think?

Thanks!

First of all, I want to thank all three of you for your service to the Lord! I know my life has been changed by your allowing God to use you in His service.
My question is this: I am in an emotional-depressional pit. Everything in my life is going great--I have a wonderful husband, two great children, and my first grandchild. On the outside my life looks perfect. I should be the happiest woman alive. On the inside, I am dying. I don't enjoy anythI feel the way I do. I think they think I am crazy or ungrateful for the blessings I have been given. They tell me to just decide that I am going to be happy and do it. What can I do to get out of this depth of despair? Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Kay, Beth and Priscilla,

I am getting married in just a few weeks and am the first Christian woman in my family. My fiance is also the only believer in his family, but together we have independently found salvation in Jesus and were led by the Spirit to each other (Praise God!). We didn't grow up with strong Christian parents, so I was wondering if you had any advice for a young Christian woman entering into marriage? How can I be the wife God wants me to be, and what from your experience has been a valuable less or great advice?

Thank you all so much for what you do - your studies have helped me grow over the years, and I cannot wait to meet you in the kingdom of heaven one day!

Well, this is my 2nd Deeper Still Study but my first Live event. Thanks to all three of you, Travis & team & everyone that makes these events possible.

I'm currently going thru a divorce that is not by my choice. We have 2 children ages 12 & 10 years. Our oldest, our son, is severely physically handicapped, has been since birth. He is completely reliant on others for everything, nor can he talk. Our daughter is youngest and is basically a typically developing kid. We'd been married for 13+ years when he came to me last Nov. and said he was unhappy. Therefore wanting a divorce. Tho during our marriage he worked away from home, he's still a good dad. He's not a Christian but he's not a "deadbeat dad" as some are called. I became a Christian in 2009 after almost 20 yrs believing I'd been saved as a teenager. Obviously our virtues are different from each other's now.

So my question is, in light of how all this is developing and as the years go by, "How am I supposed to teach our kids that divorce is wrong, while at the same time not putting their dad in a bad light? After all, he's the one that wants a divorce, not me. I don't wanna be the person that's putting down the man that's my ex-husband, but who is still their father. Help?"

How do you remain a STRONG Godly woman and still stay feminine? I ask because I am a leader within my church (within a couple of non-women ministries) and have recently been wrestling with not associating leadership with manliness, if that makes sense. I don't want to be a strong leader who intimidates men, because I am a lady and I love being a lady. I want to be a confident leader without looking like I'm trying to be one of the guys.

Hello Sisters,
You all are amazing. My question is regarding my relationship with my mom. My father was absent from my life growing up and my mom was a young single mom. My has never been one to affirm or nurture me. She has always been very critical of me. There are times when I walk in a room and she completely ignores me and other times when I catch her looking at me as if she is digusted. The hard thing is I have a sister who she is not like that with and there are other young women my age who my mom openly adores. I have spent over 30 years trying to win her love and approval. As a result fear of failure and rejection has so overwhelmed my life that I do not know how to free myself. There are so many things I have not accomplished strictly because of fear. I have even at many times found it difficult to believe God could even like me since my own parents have rejected me. How do I get free from this once and for all? How do I stop allowing myself to be controlled by how my mom feels about me? How do I see myself through God’s eyes, grow and no longer be bound by her opinion of me knowing our relationship may never be the loving nurturing relationship I so desire.

How do I get back to an intimate and positive relationship with the Lord? I feel so distant at times? There is a lot of brokenness in my life. I made a series of major changes in my life because I believed God was leading me to do so.

Now I have given up so much and everything is going wrong. Not one positive thing has happened as a result of me making these changes and I feel like I totally miss-heard God and there is nothing I can do about it. What I gave up I cannot have back or return. I have been so frustrated, down and discouraged that I feel my relationship with the Lord is completely off track. How do I get past the Loss and get back on track with God? When part of me feels totally let down, forgotten and alone.

Ladies, Beth in particular: You are wonderful, Godly women and such a a blessing :) And you look great - what are your beauty regimes ? or is it just good genes or good Godly living :)

Can we have make-up in Heaven? ;)
