Deeper Still Oklahoma City!
Deeper Still! It’s one of the most extraordinary events of my entire year! I can’t begin to describe to you the overwhelming feeling of watching an arena full of women raise their hands and voices in worship to God, or seeing them prop their Bibles on their knees, pens poised in their hands, as they await a Word from the Lord.

Deeper Still is refreshing and remarkable.. . . and it’s on the way to Oklahoma City this weekend!
This
is our 3rd year making stops around the country with the LifeWay
women’s events team, who sponsor the Deeper Still Event. A couple of
little known Bible teachers, Beth Moore and Kay Arthur are the other
participants. You may not have heard of them (HA HA) but everyone is
always blessed by the messages they share. Here we are in Orlando
earlier this year.
Little Jude on my hip and Miss Beth singing her heart out on my right.
As you can imagine, I am humbled and awe-struck every time I share a platform with these unbelievable women. Who hasn’t been touched by their ministries throughout the years? I am amazed that God would allow me to minister along side of them. These women are not only my friends, but my mentors in ministry. I would be intimidated to take the stage, with them sitting so near, if it weren’t for their gracious and encouraging smiles rooting me on all along the way. In fact, before I speak, they pray over me. I’m always moved to tears as they lay their hands on me and ask God to pour His Spirit out while I share.
One of my favorite parts of the event is the panel discussion time. We kick off our shoes, sit back and engage questions from the audience. This always proves to be hilarious as we dive into topics ranging from recipes and make up tips to intimacy with our husbands. We’ve tackled Miss Beth’s hair secrets and Miss Kay’s “staying young” beauty tricks. We’ve learned how to stay attractive to our husbands, and engaged fully in the season of motherhood. We’ve been challenged to steer clear of sin and to choose forgiveness. No matter what theme we are talking about – or how hard it makes us laugh or cry - Miss Beth and I are always amazed at Miss Kay’s ability to find a Scripture reference to support the truth she is trying to share. We just sit and stare at her, hoping we’ll know the Word like that when we are in our more seasoned years.
So, you’ll want to make sure
you check back with me starting Friday and continuing into next week.
Expect some pretty exciting video footage on our blog! We’ll have Miss
Beth and Miss Kay themselves to share a short word with you and give
you a great “behind-the-scenes” look at the Deeper Still event. You
won’t want to miss it.
Until then, I’d love to hear from you if
you’ve already been to one of our other DS events. What city were you
in and what part of it did God most use to impact your life?
Most of my family lives in
Most of my family lives in North Carolina so when I was searching for a "mini retreat" where I could hear from God, I chose to travel from Maryland to the Deeper Still conference in Greensboro, NC July 31-August 1, 2009. I was so excited about the idea of a retreat that I invited my family. I went to the conference with my sister, 2 cousins, and a friend of the family. We were all just so amazed at how much God shared with us during that conference, you all were all dynamic women sharing the word of God in such a real down-to-earth way. I just wish I could have had a video of the conference, to reflect on the messages you all shared. My favorite message was where you talked about how God can do "Beyond Beyond", the scripture where you took time to break down each part of the verse from Ephesians 3:20. After the conference we went to the book table and all of us purchased the One in A Million bible study and we have been meeting regularly to come together to discuss things we are still learning. May God continue to bless your ministry!
Deeper Still
I haven't had the chance to attend a Deeper Still conference yet (can you please come to Michigan...pretty please?!) ~ however, I did just finish the Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed Bible Study. It was awesome!! :)
We have a group of about 80 women that meet on Monday nights (we call them Magnificent Monday's!) ~ and we are so blessed by your teachings, Priscilla! We went through Discerning the Voice of God in the Spring, One in a Million this summer, and then Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed this fall. We have laughed with you, cried with you, "Amen"~ed with you, and have learned MUCH from you!! THANK YOU!!
May the Lord bless you with a fresh revelation of His presence and His power!! :)
In Him,
Cindy :)
Not yet...not yet
Hi Priscilla,
I have yet to attend a DS event. Hopefully soon but I have seen each one of you at different events. I have done Bible studies from each of you.
"He Speaks to Me" is my favorite of your studies.
Much love to you sister.
God bless this weekend. Looking forward to the video.
Deeper Still
I had the privilege of attending the Deeper Still conference in Nashville a couple of years ago. It was AMAZING!!! I learned much, grew much and laughed so hard during the panel discussion that I almost wet my pants (I was several months pregnant at the time). Wish I could be there again but I can't wait to hear all that is happening!
I was there too!
Star, how funny that we were both at DS Nashville! We probably bumped into each other in the ladies room and didn't even know it! Small world. We will have to meet up "for real" at one of the next ones. And yes, that panel discussion was off the chart!
Deeper Stil
I was in Greensboro in July for Deeper Still and it was awesome! Priscilla's message on Ephesians struck such a cord with me that I came home, gave the whole lesson to my women's ministry team and wrote up the notes on my blog!! Thank you, Priscilla, for challenging me to believe that my God goes beyond the beyond.
I have been blessed to attend
I have been blessed to attend two of the Deeper Still events. The first one was in Nashville, TN and was blowed away at how God used each of you to speak to me in different parts of my life. The second was in Atlanta, GA and was blessed yet again. I have laughed and cried and had God to knock me up side the head on each occasion. I am always amazed that no matter where I am in my walk with God I find myself guided, corrected or comforted. You are a blessing and I am sure God will bless each one who attends.
I am so stoked about this
I am so stoked about this weekend! This will be my first Deeper Still experience and I can't wait!
Hello all! I attended DS in
Hello all! I attended DS in Nashville!! Awesome! Still have all my notes. I laughed soooo hard during the panel discussion when Beth had a fit when the topic turned to "you know what" *grin* and then was convicted when Miss Kay (don't know why I feel the need to call her "miss", but I do) began to direct us to the Biblical application of that subject.
If you are preparing to attend this weekend....make sure your pencil is sharp, your paper plenty and your heart prepared...GOD WILL SPEAK...don't miss it!
Blessings to all!

I was blessed at a Deeper
I was blessed at a Deeper Still event in Atlanta in 2008. It was the first time that I got to hear Priscilla speak. It profoundly touched me. I can still remember her saying that we hear God speak so well when, like the children of Israel, we are in the wilderness. I wrote in my notes, "Do you have to go to the wilderness to hear him?" While I think the answer to that is No, God had that jump out at me because I was about to be dumped head first in a long wilderness season. Priscilla you were correct. I have never heard God more clearly. Thank you for that lesson, I'm pretty sure it was for me up in the nose bleed section! Since then I have read 2 of your books, both have helped me so much in hearing from God. Now I can't make it through the day without my word!! Thank you!
PS
This was also when you told us of garbage diving for your pancakes. I remember that quite well too!!!:)
Deeper Still
I LOVE THIS BLOG! I have been blessed to attend the Deeper Still events in Nashville, Atlanta, and Orlando. Priscilla's teaching from Ephesians 3 at Orlando this past September was the BEST ever. I also loved Beth's teaching on discernment and Mrs. Kay's Hebrews exposition!
Priscilla, I will never forget you coming to speak to the women of my church in Warner Robins, GA. You had just found out you were pregnant with your first son. Our women's ministry has grown so much - and we thank the Lord that you took a chance on us! You are such a great teacher and awesome servant leader.
I pray you have a wonderful time in OK. Thank you for your genuine transparent self! You are precious.
Mrs. Jan
I'm packing!
Ya'll, I'm SO excited about this weekend! I am washing clothes and packing, and praying all the while. I can't wait to be part of the behind-the-scenes action and to share what God is going to do. I'm officially on "Flip Camera" duty so Priscilla better be ready!!
I know we are going to be blessed by what Priscilla shares....hang on to your seats because it's gonna be good!
on the wish list
Haven't been able to attend yet, but truly hoping in 2010!
From Kansas City to Oklahoma City
A few ladies from my women's ministry in Kansas City, Missouri (Angela, Cynthia and Regina) accompanied me to the DeeperStill event in OKC this past weekend. God was waiting there for us with a huge blessing! Priscilla, Beth and Kay are such phenominal teachers of God's word. LORD, we have received of You. And imagine, 9,000 women singing "Take The Shackles Off My Feet So I Can Dance"...we praised the name of Jesus in unison. Travis Cottrell, you are an awesome worship leader. My sisters if you were not there, make it a point to attend the next one...God is waiting to bless you too! We in KC will continue to pray God's healing for Beth Moore; bulging discs are painful -- for Priscilla to get some sleep (3 little active boys), and for Kay to continue looking like she does -- 76 years old; God is good!
