We’ve spent the last week and a half sitting with Lydia’s story together, first through the free Lydia pages and now through the full study kit, and I feel like I’m beginning to understand why her story matters so much.
In Acts 16 we watched one woman open her home in obedience to God… and by the end of the chapter believers are gathered there together. What began in Lydia’s house would eventually grow into the church in Philippi.
We still have four more days left with Lydia before we move on, but I’ve already started building the next study: Priscilla.
If Lydia reminds me that faith can begin in a home, Priscilla reminds me that faith can help build the church around us.
Priscilla and Aquila traveled, taught, welcomed believers into their home, and helped strengthen the early church in Ephesus alongside Paul. There’s something beautiful to me about placing these studies side by side:
- Lydia opening the door
- Priscilla helping build what lasts
The Priscilla pages are beginning to come together now, and I’m very excited to keep walking through these stories together 💙
