There’s a reason why thousands of women across the nation turn to Priscilla Shirer’s Bible studies when they’re searching for powerful biblical truth to shake them out of routine faith once and for all.
At a Going Beyond Live event with Priscilla Shirer, you won’t find sugar-coated truths or half-hearted declarations; instead, you’ll experience whole-hearted teaching to inspire and challenge you to step into God’s plan for your life.
