ICYMI, Priscilla Shirer’s new Bible study, Elijah, releases January 4, and we’re counting down the days until it’s here. But, we’ve been dreaming up something special with Priscilla that we couldn’t wait any longer to tell you about!
Starting today, registration is open for the Elijah online Bible study experience, which will start Tuesday, February 16. This will be different from our typical online Bible study for a few reasons, so here’s how this will work! (If you still have questions after reading this post, check out these FAQs.)
For the first time ever, you’ll be able to purchase everything you need to study Elijah with us all in one bundle. Whether you want the print Bible study book or eBook to follow along, these $24.99 bundles come with:
- Bible study book or eBook (your choice!)
- Teaching video access, released weekly starting February 16
- Online community discussions with the Going Beyond Ministries team and women around the world
- Exclusive bonus content from Priscilla Shirer!
Already preordered your Bible study book? Don’t worry! We’re also offering an option to purchase just online video access for $9.99.
With the holidays right around the corner, you can also give the Elijah online Bible experience to your friends, family, or small group besties! You can give the Print Book + Video or Video Only options to a friend. (The eBook + video option is not available for gifting.) Check out our FAQs here for step-by-step instructions on how to gift the online experience!
We’re so excited to be able to study NEW Bible study content with you, Priscilla’s Going Beyond Ministries team, and thousands of other women in 2021. We’re already praying that the message of Elijah encourages and challenges us in the new year!
To learn more about this study, watch the video below or click here.
Here are the rest of the details you’ll need to participate in this study:
- Elijah is 7 weeks long, and you can plan for the videos to be 30-40 minutes long, with a shorter final session.
- We’ll post a new video session on LifeWayWomen.com/ElijahOBS on Tuesdays at midnight CT (barring any technical difficulties). Once you log in, you will see the available sessions.
- For the first week, you’ll watch the video first and then complete the Week 1 material in the study book before we meet again!
- Go to your email and add “churchresources@email1.lifeway.com” to your contacts. This way, our emails are less likely to go to your spam folder.
- Videos will be available until May 16, 2021 (11:59 PM CT), allowing some breathing room for those who join in late or miss a couple of weeks.

I want to study this with my women’s group. How can we all participate in the online discussions? We each plan to buy our books and I will purchase the online video sessions.
Hi Lavera!
Thank you so much for your interest in the Elijah Bible Study! I think the best (and most economical) would be for each member of your group to purchase the bundle. That way everyone will be able to watch the videos when they have time as well as gain access to special, exclusive content. Registering for this would also allow everyone to participate in our online discussions that you mentioned. For more information visit LifeWayWomen.com/ElijahOBS.
I am excited. I do want to listen as I usually attend a church bible study offering video. I have listened to most of the free video teachings. Of course, I have studied with “Armor of God” several times. My question would be, Will these video sessions be up the whole time until May? Of course it’s not always easy with work schedules to listen immediately and sometimes I like to listen twice. Thanks for your answer. I love Priscilla as I have done many of her studies.
My group would like to start the study in January. Is there a way to purchase the downloadable videos only and order the books so we can start early? Thanks!
Hi Brianna! I’m so excited you and your group are joining us for the Elijah Experience! Yes, you can go ahead and order those books if you’d like, however, purchasing a bundle might be the best, more economical option. If each person selects the Elijah experience bundle, they’ll get the book, access to videos (personal viewing only), and exclusive content for a lower price than purchasing separately. If you and your group are eager to begin (we are all so excited!) that’s fine as well! The leader kit might be the better option. When you select the Leader Kit you also secure the right to show videos in a group setting. Here are a few links that will give you more information.

Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks Brianna!
So, the online video sessions aren’t free anymore? We either but the book and viewing rights for the study from you or if we buy the book separate…we still have to pay to watch the videos. Is this correct?
Hi Debbie,
Thank you for your comment and that’s a great question! If you’re an online Bible study veteran, you know that we almost never offer new content as a free online study. We’re also making the video access available at a much lower cost than you would normally purchase it and adding bonus content from Priscilla. Our hope is that this will make it affordable and easy for you to dive into new content with us in 2021 through this new online Bible study experience!
Thank you for being a part of our community!
To Debbie Lester, i think they will still continue to do the free videos but now with the newer releases of books and materials, this is an added bonus option for us to use for other study options from what i am understanding reading about it. Hope that helps.

I’m excited and been looking forward to this study since Lifeway emailed me. Thank you for giving us these wonderful options to study one of the Major Prophets in the Bible during horrible time of disobedience of the kings when people of Israel became 2 Nations: Israel and Judah(w/ Benjamin) because of sin and disobedience of King Solomon and his son Rehoboam which cause Israel to split into a Southern Kingdom and a Northern Kingdom. A time long ago, but a picture of our world, especially the United States today. So as a believer and follower of our Lord Jesus Christ I want to stay close to God’s Word just as some did in those days but had to endure and suffer for the wickedness of others that God allowed. Elijah was able to hear from GOD and remind them of HIS promises and faithfulness but they had to HIM First. I love the Studies of Priscilla Shirer and the way God uses her in the way she brings it to her Bible studies. Thank you again!
I really want to do this but with the pandemic and my diagnosis I may not be able to afford it. I want to get the study book and follow along online but I’m not sure in my current state I’ll be able to keep up. Lately most days I’m up around 5 or 530 am for my daughter’s school days 4 days of the week with Wednesdays at home. Many days with my health I go back to bed from exhaustion and pain. I feel like I’m falling apart. Winter weather is not helping. Love Priscilla and her whole family. Love Tony Evans and Chrystal Evans Hurst too. They are all great speakers and teachers and doers of the word. This family is on fire for the Lord and it shows.
Dear Kimberly, I have been where you are although my diagnosis was different. I understand how hard you are working to get your daughter’s schooling done, and I understand spending much time in bed due to exhaustion and pain. I would like to give you a Lifeway Gift Card, so you can buy this study. Even if all you do is watch the videos, that would be a great accomplishment and it will bless you. Doing the lessons in the book might be too much for you right now. It would’ve been for me. If you don’t mind responding to this comment with your email address, I can get a Lifeway gift card to you.
Hi Kimberly!
I would love to send you a gift card so you can purchase the study to do however and whenever you can!! Please send me an email so we can figure out how to work out details. My email is bjchowdhury@gmail.com
God bless you!

Hello, I hope you do not mind this reply. I wanted to give you a bit of encouragement. I keep the faith that the Lord does not give us more than we can handle. The Bible studies help a little with that. I am going through a similar experience to you. I have been having serious health issues for years which ultimately led to this July’s heart attack leading to a stroke, TBI, severe pneumonia, being on ventilator in ICU for 2 weeks and level 3 heart failure. Still recovering from all of that so can definitely understand your exhaustion and pain. I also school my two children they give me reason to keep fighting through all the painful days. If you would like to chat with someone reply back. I hope you will be able to do this study. I had planned on doing it but was thinking it would be free online other than purchasing the book. I have done all of Priscillas other studies and was looking forward to this one. With things as they are I do not really have the spare money for this new bundle they are doing. It seems that they are only renting the video sessions for a limited time and not even doing them as a purchase. As I do not really get out side anymore the studies give me something else besides the pain to focus on. I usually keep to myself but felt something telling me to reach out to you. Please take care and reply back if you want. Bless you and your daughter.
I am all in and so excited! Have it on pre order!
So excited for this study!
Count me in. I love the Word of God and I live her teaching
Correction. “ I love her teaching”.
Please sell with DVD/book combo.
Hi Becky,
We really appreciate your feedback and I’ll be glad to pass this suggestion along. I hope you’ll join us for this new opportunity we’re providing. It’s something new we’ve never done before and this community of women will have the first look at this experience. I hope you’ll join us!
