What Priscilla teaches you
Faith. Correct and encourage others privately and kindly, helping gifted people grow into a fuller understanding of God.
Family. A marriage can be a working partnership in purpose, so build your calling together rather than side by side.
Business and calling. Let your trade support your mission, and treat disruption as a door to new cities and new partnerships.
