Priscilla stands out among women of faith in Scripture for her remarkable influence and spiritual leadership in the early church. As a tentmaker who worked alongside her husband Aquila and the Apostle Paul, she demonstrated extraordinary devotion despite facing persecution when Emperor Claudius expelled Jews from Rome. What makes her particularly notable is that her name often appears before her husband's in biblical references—unusual for first-century writings and indicative of her significant impact.Priscilla's life teaches us three vital aspects of devotion. First, she was deeply committed to Christ's church, opening her home for gatherings and even risking her life for Paul's ministry. Second, she was devoted to sound doctrine, possessing such theological depth that she could graciously correct and expand the understanding of eloquent teachers like Apollos. Third, she invested in discipling others, not keeping her knowledge to herself but pouring into those who would continue spreading the gospel. Her example challenges believers today to move beyond casual church attendance to full investment in church life, to develop a strong foundation in Scripture rather than surface-level understanding, and to actively disciple others rather than merely consuming spiritual content for personal growth.
