Jakes sits down with Priscilla Shirer — New York Times bestselling author, internationally renowned speaker, and actress — for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation about faith, grief, purpose, and the chapters that shape who we become.  Priscilla opens up about growing up as the daughter of Pastor Tony Evans, the pressures of the "preacher's kid" fishbowl, and how her mother Lois Evans gave her the freedom to simply be a child. She reflects on losing ten family members in five years, including her beloved mother, and what it truly means to grieve while still believing in God's goodness.
