With the holidays just around the corner and 2017 coming to a close quickly, we’re starting to gear up for winter Bible studies! These last few weeks of the year offer opportunities to slow down, enjoy time with family and friends, and really think through our priorities and rhythms for the new year.
This winter, we’re offering Discerning the Voice of God as an online Bible study, starting January 18! As we refocus our hearts in the new year, we’ll discover the root to clear and daily communication with God—humble obedience. Join us for this 7-week study with Priscilla Shirer, and click here to learn more about the study. Here’s a little more info about the study from Priscilla:
So join us! Study with us on your own, with a group, or with another friend. All you need is a Bible study book!
- Discerning the Voice of God is 7 weeks long, starting January 18 and ending March 1. You’ll get to watch the full video teaching for free until March 31, 2018, allowing some breathing room for those who join in late or miss a couple of weeks. After that time you can purchase or rent the video sessions here.
- You’ll need to grab a copy of the Discerning the Voice of God Bible Study Book. Order the Bible study book at your favorite online retailer or grab one off the shelves at your local LifeWay Store. Make sure you grab this version to best follow along with the study!
- For the first week, you’ll watch the video first and then complete the Week 1 material in the study book before we meet again!
- Participate in the discussion at the links below:Session 1
Our hope for the online Bible studies is not that they’ll replace community in real life. Grab a friend or two or ten and do this study together, using the online videos as a fun addition to your study! If you are studying alone, that’s OK! We are so glad you’re here and hope you find friends and fellowship as we learn together.

I’m excited about this study.
Has anyone led a more intimate group on Facebook? You know a group that may meet on a smaller scale to talk about the videos, the readings, pray for each other, etc? I’m sure several ladies would step up to lead several groups, but it could help with accountability and fellowship?
Lee, we do have women lead smaller groups from time to time and invite one another from the blog. I’m sure there will be smaller Facebook groups popping up once the study starts!
I am going to lead a group in my home…I am also going to start a facebook study group
Please let me know when you start your FB study group
Merry Christmas…Yes I will. You will get an invite January 1.

Priscilla I was just told about a verbal attack on you , Beth Moore,Joyce Meyer…my heart broke as I can see that she is the RED FLAG…it’s a shame she has to slander ones that are serving God and give so much of themselves for others to hear the word of God….I believe we need to be quite ..still and allow the Lord to come to us..yes, God has spoken to me…if someone hasn’t had that experience it’s sad…he comes to me in quietness, walking, reading etc…Remember that hymn “and he walks with me and he talks to me, and he tells me I am his own..oh the joy we share are we tary there.none other will ever be known….my confidence in all you has not been shaken..prayers for her…that she will repent…yal all keep on teaching…even to men….PRAISE THE LORD….
Ruth, we are all sinners. We are all influenced by the world we live in (which is greatly influenced by the evil one). Priscilla is not exempt from it and neither are her accusers. Keep in mind that all of these writers are doing this to make money. Does that mean that it’s wrong? NO! But the more palatable and desireable you make a topic, the more people are attracted to it and the more money you make! Keep that in mind as you read. The Bible is the Word of God and it is the foremost authority on how we should live, how we hear from Him, and His rules for life. It is not our own feelings or emotions. Be careful basing your “hearing” strictly on quiet contemplation. The Bible does not state that God speaks to all of us the same way, and certainly not necessarily in an audible voice. If you turn to quiet contemplation without any intense study of the Bible to test what you hear when you do, you risk mistaking your own voice, or the “world’s”, for God’s and that can be very dangerous. Do not do this study without your Bible and test everything that you plan to practice to make sure that it is Biblical (don’t ever let someone simply tell you that it is).
Mary – what good advice. We agree do not do this study or any Bible study without your Bible, and test everything you learn against the truth of Scripture. The Bible is the Word of God, and we need to read and trust it first above any other book. We are so grateful for the writers and teachers that devote their time and energy to ministry and helping women stay in the Word of God! Yes, many do earn their living this way, and we are also grateful for the many ministries and churches they support for God’s Kingdom. To God be the glory!
Yay looking forward to this
Excited! Can’t wait!
Looking foward to doing this study!!
I wish this was starting much earlier. Our church Bible study ends on December 5 and doesn’t begin again until January 16. When I saw this announcement, I was excited to do it during that break over the holidays. Oh well, I will enjoy watching the videos anyway! Would you consider offering something online during the holidays? Having something structured helps me keep on track with my relationship with God. Thanks for listening!
Me too. But I am thankful to get it. And it’ll give me time to finish up my present study.
Hi Heidi! While we won’t be doing an official online Bible study over the holidays, we actually have a post today about some ideas for advent resources to use over the coming weeks! Click here to check that out!
Thank you, Jessica!
I’ve been doing this study in my home and we are week four. It’s such a good study! I have learned so much! I’ve been encouraging other women to do the study and now this makes it easier for them to participate! I love that you offer these studies online.
I took the first study Discerning the Voice of God and it was incredible. I can’t imagine how it could get better so I am really looking forward to seeing what Priscilla has in store for us!!
I currently facilitate a group of 20 women each week in my home and we are loving the All Things New online study. It has been on my heart to do the Discerning the Voice of God one in the new year with these women…so this is confirmation to me and such a blessing that it’s been offered for free! Thank you so much LifeWay for posting these studies! It has opened up doors for women to host these studies in their own homes and reach out to their neighbors. So excited 😆!
yay! thankful you are starting this study! Excited to draw closer to His heart…hear His voice…
