In this week's highly anticipated episode, Priscilla Shirer is joining Paula to talk about her unexpected journey to discovering her calling, and how she worked through the crippling fear that once stood in her way and made her question the path she was on. The dynamic teacher and motivational speaker once dreamed of becoming a TV news anchor and while in that pursuit, changed course to pursue her true calling in ministry. The mother of three, also talks about the important lessons she wants her boys to carry with them into adulthood, the difficult conversations she has had to have with them about growing up as young African American boys, and what we can all do better as we join hands in friendship and diverse faith. The burgeoning film star explains how she was convinced to take on new opportunities on the big screen and why she has said no to 98% of the opportunities that have followed. Priscilla is also a bestselling author; her and her family are releasing a new book, Divine Disruption, which is dedicated to her late mother and hits bookshelves on November 9th.
