Priscilla “Prisc”

Summer Series: Somebody from the New Testament today! Priscilla is a tent maker, a wife, someone who spreads the Good News, and so much more. Today we’re talking about her story and the interesting people who are part of her story.

We're starting in the book of Acts, where Paul is calling out idol worship in Athens. Soon afterwards, Paul meets Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth. Paul connects with them and... listen in to hear what happens with these three!

Sharing the Gospel is a big part of this story. Hear how Priscilla and Aquilla come alongside Apollos in this story. See what we can learn from this interaction of these three important people in the Bible.

Priscilla plays an important role in spreading the gospel, showing hospitality by providing a meeting place in their home, and showing obedience when called to ministry.

Tune in to this fascinating story of Priscilla (and Aquilla) in this episode!

Deborah was a Judge, a leader of Israel, and a prophetess. Her characteristics were being faithful to the Lord, courageous, wise, and humble.

Hear what unfolds in the story about Deborah, Barak (the commander of the army), and the battle they are in: 900 chariots, 10,000 men, lots of rain - and God in the middle of it. It’s quite an exciting story!

What was a judge in the Old Testament? Are they the same as modern-day courtroom judges? Hear about that in today's episode.

It's Cyclical! During this time in the book of Judges, the Israelites sin through idolatry (worshipping gods such as Baal, a weather god). The Lord turns away from them. The Israelites cry out to the Lord. He answers by saving them through an appointed Judge. And then they rebel again... It’s a repeated cycle!

Tune into the conversation about Deborah the Judge.

What can we learn from Mary Magdalene?

We’re talking about Mary’s life and who she was. What was she known for? Many things!

Mary was an important woman in Jesus mission. Find out about the monumental “three firsts” owned by Mary Magdalene. Hear scripture that speaks to Mary, and what important roles she played. Mary is mentioned by name in all 4 gospels. Interesting!

We know that Jesus cast out 7 demons from Mary. Curious thoughts: Why 7? Do we hear about deliverance from evil spirits today? What might that look like today?

It’s interesting to look at how Jesus caused change, and how God calls unexpected people like Mary Magdalene to be apart of it.

We talk about this call to us as well, as God’s messenger. How special is this call! Are we listening for His call in our day-to-day? And acting on it?

Hear a conversation about this weeks’ spotlight woman in today’s episode. A woman of strong faith, devotion and commitment to Jesus. One who was caring, and humble.

See you on the podcast!
