One writer tried to give Priscilla a title, and it went something like this:

Christ follower, Tent Maker, Teacher, Encourager, Home Church Hostess & Leader, Devoted Wife of Aquila, and Faithful friend to Paul.   

To that title, I would add based on Romans 13:3-4: Paul’s heroic life-saver!

Today we embark on the study of a woman of MANY talents, and with that study, we explore the many roles that women play, both in Scripture and today.  On the program, I frequently refer to Titus 2:3-5 which says, “the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.”

As one of those older women myself, I urge women who are married with children to prioritize their families, even as they serve God in the church and their communities if they work outside the home.  I share testimonies from my life, from the life of Elisabeth Eliot, but especially looking at the great example of Priscilla, who, with her husband, taught Apollos, hosted a home church, and offered up her great many talents to the service of her King.  Priscilla and her husband Aquilla are always mentioned together as quite the dynamic duo, and they offer us a great example of how a strong Biblical marriage can reflect Christ and the church!

Join me today, for a REMARKABLE woman, Priscilla.
