This weekend: Junia, Phoebe, and Priscilla

October

Reader,

"Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives who were in prison with me; they are prominent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.” Romans 16:7, NRSV

Did you catch that Paul uses our phrases in that verse to describe her?

My relatives
In prison with me
Prominent among the apostles
In Christ before I was

Think about that for a second. Paul is telling us his relative Junia followed Christ before he did, in years when believers were being persecuted. And she was imprisoned, a harsh reality in that world. One verse, and a much deeper picture than a first read suggests.

This weekend we’ll unpack the words behind each one.

She isn’t the only remarkable woman we’ll spend time with.

Friday night: Phoebe. Sister, deacon, patron. Three words Paul uses for her, and what each one meant in her time. Her session alone completely changed my perspective on Paul and women.

Saturday morning: Priscilla. We find her and her husband in Rome, Corinth, and Ephesus, in several places in Scripture. She worked alongside Paul, and her journey is remarkable.

This isn’t information for information’s sake. As we study these women, we’ll explore your own life. What are the words that describe your roles? Where has your journey taken you? We’ll take time to sit with the Holy Spirit and listen to what He says about you, your transitions, and the places life may have buried you.

The last spot in Tacoma ($129, Saturday meals and materials included) is open to register for by the end of today.

Still not sure and would like to try a session for free first? The Friday night Zoom session is live and complimentary. We start at 6:30 pm PST.
