Gideon: Priscilla Shirer
When hearing the name Gideon, most of think about a fleece spread beneath the sky or an army of 300 soldiers. However, Gideon's story is about God, His people, and His love for them. If you've ever felt insufficient, ill-equipped, incompetent, or outnumbered, this study is for you. Instead of ignoring, neglecting, or trying to escape weaknesses, we will learn to see them as the gifts given specifically and strategically by God. Priscilla Shirer will lead us in 7 video based sessions to encourage us to recognize weakness as the key that the Lord gives to unlock the full experience of Him in life.

Breathe: Priscilla Shirer
One of the greatest challenges in our culture is taking time to cease from all the activities and just breathe. In the Old Testament, the Sabbath was given to the Israelites as a gift, and it is still a gift for us today. If you are weary, worn out, and exhausted, then the concept of Sabbath will change your life. In this video based study, Priscilla Shirer leads us to learn how to be freed from the bondages of busyness and the limitless to-do lists that hinder us from experiencing all that God has planned for us.
