Priscilla lived in a world where women were rarely recognized as teachers or spiritual leaders—but she helped shape the early Church. Apollos, a passionate preacher, arrived in her town of Ephesus. As he shared God’s Word, Priscilla noticed some gaps in his knowledge.
As a woman, it wouldn’t have been Priscilla’s place to correct a man with a platform. She could have stayed quiet, but she felt convicted to teach him for the sake of the Gospel and the Church God was building. So she did what she could—she brought her husband along and explained Scripture to Apollos so he could preach with accuracy.
Priscilla was limited by culture, but she didn’t let that halt her influence. She trusted her gut and her prior knowledge, and she took a brave step to correct a man of influence. Even more profound, Priscilla approached this with humility and gentleness. She didn’t belittle Apollos—she simply wanted people to know the full truth of Jesus. And God used her bravery to continue to grow the Church, bringing more people to know him.
