Priscilla Shirer, star of the 2015 film “War Room” and author of many Christian books, recently spoke at an event where she encouraged Christians to focus on their identity in Christ before they focus on anything else, which for her includes not describing herself as a “black” woman. “I don’t want my race to be the describing adjective of who I am as a woman. I am not a black woman. I am a Christian woman who happens to be black,” Shirer adds. She encourages all people to look at how they identify

themselves, pushing them to question if they identify more with their race, ethnicity or gender over their relationship with God. “It’s the job of your adjective to describe the noun of who you are,” she explains. “If there’s gonna be an adjective describing me it’s not gonna be my race, it’s going to be I’m a woman who believes in every single thing that my God has declared to be true. And I will stand firmly on the promises of His word because I will be girded in truth.” Watch Video Below
