Not Just an Event, A Movement of God
Have you ever felt like you were in the right place at the right time? And I mean it was God’s timing and something you could never orchestrate by your own planning or power. A real “Esther 4:14—for such a time as this� kind of moment. That is how I felt at Deeper Still in San Francisco, California in March this year.
The first time I heard about the dream of Deeper Still I had chill bumps! Deeper Still—

From Priscilla....
Hello girls!
I'm so excited about Deeper Still Nashville! Can you believe that in less than two weeks about 25,000 of us are going to converge on TN? I can't wait to see what God has in store for all of us as we sit in and soak up the presence of God.
San Fransisco took Miss Beth, Miss Kay and me by storm! We were blown away by God's hand among us as we worshipped together and dug deeply into His Word. Those wonderful West Coast women were dancing and waving their hands like wild people! It was FABULOUS. (You know I go to the sort of church where that kind of thing is normal)! They even talked back to me throughout my message. There's nothin' better than a rousing "AMEN" from the audience when you are in the middle of a thought! I wonder if we can

What did they say after Deeper Still San Francisco?
Hey girls! Thought you might want to hear what some of the ladies had to say about Deeper Still San Francisco.
Those are only a few of the testimonies from Deeper Still San Francisco! I would love to hear from those of you who will be coming to Nashville.
What is your greatest need from God at this point in your life? How do you expect this time at Deeper Still to help and deepen your relationship with Jesus?
Sweet Sisters in Christ—I am praying for you today!

Chew on it...
I am so grateful for the opportunity God gave me to be a part of Deeper Still Nashville! WOW- He really blew me away through the teaching of His Word by all three ladies-the "rhema" was powerful…
The challenge we now face is how to process the almost overwhelming amount of great stuff we took in. Have you ever taken a bite of your favorite food and realized that you were going to have to concentrate and chew on it a while before swallowing it so you didn't miss any of the great flavor or taste? That's sort of the way I feel about this weekend-there is no way I can just swallow it whole…I need to break it down and chew on it piece by piece till I can take in the truths and let them change my life.
So in order to do that,
The Truth About Sex
Greetings sisters!
I hope that you were just as blessed at the Deeper Still Event this weekend as Miss Beth, Miss Kay and I were. It was a THRILL to be with you and spend time together in God's word.
If you stayed until the end on Saturday then you got to be a part of the question and answer session. Needless to say, we had so much fun and laughed so hard that our sides hurt. I had hand prints on my knees from slapping them so hard. The three of us never know what we are going to say or how that part of the event will turn out so we were SOOOO surprised by the unexpected surge of laughter and hilarity that erupted during that time. It was a BLAST.
You'll recall, one of the questions was about how to make marriage work more smoothly; specifically, how to get our husbands to speak our love language. After Miss Kay gave such a Biblically sound answer (as only she can) we began joking about how much sex plays a roll in this as well. We jokingly suggested that

A Message from Beth...
Dear Sisters,
I can hardly wait to see you at our Deeper Still conference this weekend! I am not kidding when I tell you that I've never failed to see God show up with a stunning outpouring in North Carolina or South, for that matter! I've never quite been able to put my finger on why! Often Travis, the team and I see God's mightiest outpourings in some of the smaller areas where people have far fewer events to attend. They are desperate for worship and revelation and, because God delights in that kind of anticipation, they usually get it. The part of the country where we're gathering this weekend, however, is a center notch on the proverbial "Bible belt" yet I've seen God do some of the wildest things there. To be seasoned - but UNSPOILED - followers of Christ is a rare and wonderful trait only the Holy Spirit can explain. I can hardly wait to see what He'll do now.
I am so honored to serve beside my dear friends and co-laborers, Priscilla and Kay. I deeply respect both of them and my own walk with Christ is always refueled by their influence. We haven't been together in a while so it will be great to team-up again. It's a beautiful thing to share the platform with other speakers because, the way I see it, if you don't like one of us, as diverse as we are, surely you'll like another! All of us have different tastes and different learning styles, even if we wish we were too mature for preferences. At one time or another, yours is surely going to get hit this weekend and, if not by someone on the platform, by someone sitting next to you! Far more importantly, God will overcome every obstacle and speak to every willing ear and, if you'll really listen, cause you to receive exactly what He brought you to hear. I'm counting on that for myself. I am coming for a word from God, Girlfriend, and I am positive that I'm going to get it.
Recently I've had a fresh appreciation for what we get to do this weekend. My staff at Living Proof Ministries and I are going through Jennifer Rothschild's Me, Myself and Lies together. (I do tons of other people's Bible studies - like Kay's and Priscilla's, for instance - just for my own personal walk. My worst nightmare is that I'd get where I only listened to my own voice. Can you spell I-M-B-A-L-A-N-C-E??) While we were having group discussion last week and I was marveling over the NOW word God was speaking to every single one of us, I could nearly have burst into tears with the wonder of it. I said to my staff, "It's just hit me afresh that this is the very kind of thing we get to do: we get to encourage women just like us to get to know the Maker of Heaven and Earth and His Son, Jesus Christ, through the living, breathing pages of Scripture. He causes every study - no matter who wrote it - to become exactly what the willing person needed at that exact moment in her life. It's not a man-thing. It's a total God-thing. I do not know where I would be, even right now in this season of my own life, without the hope and direction and exhortation of God's Word. What we're doing works because He works."
That, Beloved Sister, is what we're doing together this weekend. We're reminding one another that God STILL SPEAKS and that He is perfect in His timing and His relevance. If you've never really gotten to know Him personally, this is a terrific time to get started! If you've been listening to Him speak through His Word for years, well then, there's a place to go that's deeper still!
I am floored to be able to serve you. God is merciful and kind to this former pit-dweller. I'll see you Friday!
In His exquisite love,
Beth
