Have you ever looked at your bank account and wondered, Where did all my money go? Sometimes the problem isn’t simply that you need to make more.

What is holding you back from moving forward in your life? When parts of your story don’t pan out the way you hoped or planned, it can leave you feeling stuck, but what you do next makes all the difference.  If you’re ready to go from grieving the life you wanted to building [...]

Have you been giving your power away? When you want nothing more than to change your situation, it’s often easier to wait for the right person or the right set of circumstances to come along and make it all better. But what if the thing you’re waiting on never comes? What if the [...]

Money has a way of touching every part of our lives. It can keep us up at night, strain our relationships, and quietly convince us that living paycheck to paycheck is just “normal.” But what if financial freedom isn’t reserved for a select few? What if it’s something that can be learned, one [...]

These days, there are so many home improvement shows on TV. Some pull in viewers because of their eye for design, and others pull in viewers for their ability to transform a broken-down shell of a house into a breathtaking abode. But one thing is for sure: if you want a house to [...]

Life never stops moving. And as I find myself working to keep up with the pace of everything, it seems that once I’ve managed one season, another has taken its place. Living my life one season at a time has become the lesson of a lifetime. You see, I can’t approach the way [...]

Have you been asking God for overflow in your finances? What if He’s waiting on you to better steward the money you already have?

Summer has a way of revealing what our lives actually look like. Not because the season itself is magical, but because our routines change. As the days stretch longer, our structure tends to loosen up. We travel more, spend more, scroll more, and suddenly realize that we’ve drifted further from the life we [...]

Priscilla Shirer is the founder of Going Beyond Ministries, a Bible teacher, author, actress (yes, she finally admitted it), and, most importantly, my only sister. She is my daily phone call before 7 am, a cheerleader, and the most content person I know. Underneath all of that is a woman who has chosen, [...]
