7 Ways to Amplify Your Bible Study With A Priscilla Shirer Bible Study Guide

Whether you're diving into Discerning the Voice of God, Armor of God, or one of her many other amazing sermons, Priscilla Shirer's Bible study guides uniquely blend Scripture with real-life application. Her teaching style is bold, clear, and Spirit-led, and her sermons & books are designed not just to inform but to transform.

Bible reading is a must-have spiritual discipline for every Christian, but sometimes it can be hard to understand how it applies to everyday life. James 1:22-25 (HCSB) says,

“22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but one who does good works—this person will be blessed in what he does. 

From this verse, it’s obvious we need to do more than just read scripture; we must also apply what we learn. That’s one of the reasons some people opt to use a Bible Study guide along with regular Bible study time, since it can help clarify complex points and provide deeper understanding of Scripture. We suggest you choose a Bible study guide from a trusted teacher like Priscilla Shirer, as you can feel confident that the teaching is Bible-based.

If you're ready to deepen your understanding of Scripture, here are some meaningful ways to do so with a Priscilla Shirer Bible study guide (or any study guide of your choosing). These tips can help deepen your connection with God, keep you engaged, and encourage you to carry what you learn into everyday life.

1. Create a Sacred Space

You don’t need a Pinterest-worthy prayer area to get serious about study. A consistent space where your heart and mind can focus will do the job just fine. Maybe it’s a cozy chair with your favorite blanket or even your car during your lunch break. Create a space that invites peace, prayer, and stillness as you embark on one of Priscilla Shirer’s Bible studies.

Consider adding a journal, pens, highlighters, and your Bible to your setup. Some people even light a candle or play instrumental worship music to help shift their mindset from busy to still. A dedicated space helps signal to your soul: this is time with God.

2. Watch Helpful Teachings on the TBN+ App

Many of Priscilla Shirer's Bible studies are available to stream on the TBN+ app, a platform designed for faith-filled, on-demand content. Watching her teaching videos alongside your workbook or Scripture reading can help clarify context, bring stories to life, and infuse your study with energy and encouragement. For example, if you’re reading through her study “Discerning the Voice of God,” you might want to watch this Praise episode on TBN+, in which she discusses this very topic.

3. Invite Others Into the Journey

Even if you're more of a solo learner, there’s something powerful about studying Scripture in community. Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) says,

As iron sharpens iron,

so one person sharpens another.

Invite a friend or two to go through the same Priscilla Shirer Bible study and check in weekly, whether in person, over Zoom, or even through a simple group text. The beauty of online streaming is that you can all watch the same sermon on your schedule!

Together, consider open-ended questions like:

• What stood out to you this week?
• How is God speaking to you through this?
• What’s been challenging for you so far?
• Did any part of the lesson feel especially personal?
• Is there a verse you want to memorize or meditate on?
• How can we pray for each other in light of what we’re learning?
• What’s one small way you want to apply this week’s message?

Sometimes, the most life-changing insights come from the perspectives of others, and working through a Bible study in community (whether in person or online) can make a huge difference.

4. Pray Before & After Each Bible Study

It’s easy to jump right into streaming, reading, or filling in blanks, but to dive even deeper into the messages you’re receiving, consider praying before your session to invite God in. 

Here are two simple prayers you could start with:

“Lord, quiet the noise around me. Help me focus. Open my eyes to see what You want me to see today.”

“Holy Spirit, speak through Your Word today. Make it come alive. Teach me, correct me, and encourage me. I’m here and I’m listening.”

In Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus gives a great example of how we should pray in what’s often referred to as The Model Prayer:

9 Therefore, you should pray like this:

Our Father in heaven,

Your name be honored as holy.

10 Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 And do not bring us into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power

and the glory forever. Amen.

James 5:13-16 also shares meaningful wisdom on prayer. It says,

13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

When you finish your session, close with prayer again. Ask God to help you remember and live out what you learned. If you’re studying with a group, consider taking prayer requests and praises and praying over those things each week.

5. Keep a Running Journal

Many of Priscilla Shirer’s Bible studies emphasize hearing God’s voice. Create a designated section in your journal for this purpose. Jot down:

• Scriptures that felt especially personal
• Specific words or phrases that stood out
• Prayers you felt prompted to pray
• Any answers, impressions, or moments of clarity

Over time, you’ll build a beautiful record of how God has been speaking to you that you can then revisit when you need encouragement.

6. Bring Scripture Into Your Everyday Life

One of the best ways to let a study take root is to carry its message with you. Write a key verse from the study on a sticky note and place it on your bathroom mirror, phone case, or dashboard. Or, set a reminder on your phone with that verse to pop up midday.

Priscilla Shirer is known for including powerful Scripture in her Bible studies. Here are some episodes to check out if you want some guidance on where to start:

• Experience the REAL Presence of God! (full conference teaching)
• Experience God's Presence (full conference teaching)
• Let the Holy Spirit Lead You
• You Can Hear God

The more you weave Scripture into your daily routines, the more it will shape how you live.

7. Revisit the Study Later in a New Season

Priscilla Shirer’s Bible studies are layered with wisdom that meets you where you are. What speaks to you today may speak to you differently a year from now when your circumstances have changed.

Don’t be afraid to circle back to a study you’ve already watched. Luckily, with such an extensive collection of Priscilla Shirer Bible studies on the TBN+ app, there is always something to revisit.

Bible study is an invitation into intimacy with God and Priscilla Shirer’s bold, Scripture-centered studies are a gift. When paired with intentional habits, they can become a source of daily transformation.

Whether you’re watching on the TBN+ app, studying with friends, or simply carving out quiet moments in your day to enjoy a Priscilla Shirer Bible study, you’re creating space for God to speak.
