What makes a Christian’s perspective unique during a time of crisis, such as our global coronavirus pandemic? In this Q Talk, New York Times bestselling author Priscilla Shirer points to the hope we have in Christ that transforms the way we believe, think and act in this uncertain moment.

It's Mother's Day at Church by the Glades! We continue our series, "Bless My Stress," with phenomenal guest speaker, Priscilla Shirer. We dived into the book of John where she teaches us that signs are used not for us to worship, but to point us to Jesus.

There are some days when you don’t like yourself. You overlook your fabulous and fixate on your flaws. But the very weakness you're trying to hide may be the place God wants to shine.

Author and actress Priscilla Shirer shares how God’s Word helps us not just be ourselves, but learn to like ourselves.

Priscilla Shirer is primarily known as a powerful Bible teacher, beloved by millions who’ve seen her live or done her bible studies in groups around the world.

Priscilla Shirer is a wife and mom first, but put a Bible in her hand and a message in her heart, and you’ll see why thousands meet God in powerful, personal ways at her conferences and through her books and Bible studies.

She and her husband, Jerry, lead Going Beyond Ministries through which they provide spiritual support and resources to the body of Christ. They count it as their greatest privilege to serve every denomination and culture across the spectrum of the church.

Between writing and studying, you’ll probably find Priscilla at home cleaning up after (and trying to satisfy the appetites of) her three rapidly growing boys.

Co-host : Scott Schimmel

Not only do Alli and Kathryn share their favorite condiment this week, they also talk about beauty, what to fight for, holding joy through grief, and doing what we say we are going to do no matter what. They also "steal" some Scripture from Colossians and share as encouragement. Tune in!

In our world, it’s easy to let others define our worth. After all, we interact with people and get feedback on our performance all day long at work, at school, in communities online and off. We feel great when other people compliment us or “like” our posts—but what happens when people don’t like what we’re doing? What happens when we try to chase that affirmation from people and fail to live up to their ever-changing standards? This week, we talk with two actors in the spotlight—Priscilla Shirer and Jeremy Ray Taylor—who try diligently to remember God defines their worth, not the world, and that our days are so much better when we live for His glory and not our own.

Interview Quotes:

“Sometimes we are wishing away the very things about our uniqueness that are designed to be used for a purpose we can't even comprehend.” - Priscilla Shirer

“Each and every one of us have to decide who or what we're gonna give permission to identify us, to label us, to name us.” - Priscilla Shirer

“Who you are in God can still anchor you even when there is chaos swirling around you.” - Priscilla Shirer 

“What [defines] you? Who have you given that authority to? And in the end, it better be God, because everything else is up one day and gone tomorrow. But what God says about you remains, no matter what happens in this life.” - Priscilla Shirer

“I've just enjoyed the creative outlet of doing something different, and yet the same, in the sense that it's an opportunity to still share the love of Jesus just in a different way.” - Priscilla Shirer 

“That's what overcoming is. It's having a peace that literally passes your understanding. You literally don't understand how you have peace in the midst of the storm that you are suffering and struggling through.” - Priscilla Shirer

“Life on a farm definitely has prepared me for acting. It definitely built a work ethic, I’d say.” - Jeremy Ray Taylor

“I recognized [him] and I was like, “Oh gosh, that’s Harrison Ford,” and he's just a normal guy, too. That was one crazy thing that I realized is that everybody [in Hollywood] is just normal.” - Jeremy Ray Taylor 

“The more we're around people [in the film industry], the more we love it, and the more we're just able to love on people.” - Tracy Taylor

“For us, staying connected to God, that’s important as a conversation. And it’s just trying to keep that focus, to keep that the center of what you do and where you are.” - Tracy Taylor
