Defined - Teen Girls' Bible Study Book: Who God Says You Are
Who Am I?
It is easy to feel overwhelmed and confused when trying to answer this question. From your school and home to the apps on your phone, someone or something is attempting to answer it for you. But, who's right?
The only way you can truly know who you are is by knowing the One who has the authority to define you. Once you begin to understand who God is and what it means to be created in His image, you'll start to discover who you are and the spiritual inheritance that you have. Because when you discover who God says you are, you can start walking in your true identity as a daughter of the most high King.
This Bible study will examine spiritual truths from the Book of Ephesians to lead you into a closer relationship with God and a better understanding and appreciation of your God-given identity - which is fulfilled in Christ.
It's time we stop letting everything and everyone else tell us who we are and start believing who God says we are. Little sister, get prepared to live the life your heavenly Father imagined for you from the beginning -- the authentic narrative that God has made rightfully yours.
"I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made." Psalm 139:14

About the author
Priscilla Shirer
82 books2,491 followersPriscilla Shirer is a wife and a mom first. But put a Bible in her hand and a message in her heart and you’ll see why thousands flock to her conferences and dive into her Bible study series’ and books each year.
A graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, Priscilla holds a Master’s degree in Biblical Studies and considers it a privilege to serve believers from every denomination and culture by helping them to know the truths of Scripture intellectually and encouraging them to experience these truths practically by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In addition to Priscilla’s participation in many church and para-church conferences across the globe each year, Going Beyond Ministries hosts AWAKEN – an outreach event in their hometown designed to encourage and mobilize women locally. This free gathering brings together thousands of women from different denominations and backgrounds several times a year in an effort to stir revival.
Going Beyond Ministries also equips believers through books and Bible study resources. Priscilla has authored over a dozen video driven studies for women and teens on a myriad of Biblical characters and topics including Jonah, Gideon, the Exodus, discerning God’s voice, The Armor of God.
Her books include Discerning the Voice of God, God is Able, and two New York Times Bestsellers – The Resolution for Women and Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan for Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer, which was named the 2016 Christian Book of the Year. Her latest offering is a 365-day devotional called Awaken: 90 Days with the God Who Speaks. In 2016, Priscilla ventured into the world of children’s publishing with The Prince Warriors, a fiction 4-book series and accompanying 365-day devotional (Unseen) designed to equip tween boys and girls for victory in spiritual warfare.
Priscilla has been married to Jerry for 20 years. Between studying and writing, she spends most of her time cleaning up after (and trying to satisfy the appetites of) their three growing boys – Jackson, Jerry Jr. and Jude.

I'm going to start this review by saying Priscilla Shirer is AMAZING. She has a great way of communicating with teen girls. I had the wonderful opportunity to do this 8-week study with my church's youth group. We split the youth up girls and boys. We did (obviously lol) Defined while the boys did something similar for teen boys by the Kendrick Brothers. I will still complete some of the HW I missed because I don't want to skip any bit of this Priscilla Shirer masterpiece. I highly recommend this for a small group study.
I look forward to whatever else I read written by Priscilla Shirer!
I highly recommend!!

Some friends and I ( @NicoleAncello ) just finished this together, and I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. Priscalla Shier is an amazing author and really SPOKE to us. You could clearly hear her in her Texan accent speaking into your mind. She had sass, and we loved her.
There was a DVD that we watched along with this book, which showed Shier and several teenage girls doing the Bible study along with us.
This taught us allot about our identity. And who we are to God. It doesn't mean what we mean to other people, and we don't have to always please people, just God.
Loved this devotional, and can't wait to do another!
Cheers!

I think this is one of my favorite Bible studies I’ve ever done! It had so many great things about who you are in Christ and what that means for how you should live your life. Our youth group split up boys and girls for this study and I loved having the time with just the girls(we have a really small youth group so there were only four or five of us) and getting even closer with the other girls and our leader. Down below I’ll put some of the things I highlighted- this study was amazing!
I also have to say that I love Priscilla Shirer(she’s a celebrity in our youth group😆). She always has great studies, books, movies- and she’s hilarious 😆
That was a lot of quotes. I put them in spoilers in case you want to wait and work through the study yourself to see all those great quotes- they all hit hard. I highly recommend this study!

I did this as a buddy study with one of my best friends and this was amazing. This really instilled in my mind that I am a daughter of the King. Such a wonderful study!

Good study for anyone wanting to know who God says you are (especially written for teen girls and young women, but applicable to all).

Focus on mentoring young women in finding their identity in today’s post-Christian era. Completed this with grandmother’s/Granddaughters summer 2023.
