Who Tells You the Rest of the Story? (Acts 18:24-28)

In this episode of the Daily Bible Refresh, Dr. Brad Miller reads Acts 18:24–28 from The Message and reflects on the story of Apollos, a gifted and eloquent preacher who was “accurate up to a point” in his understanding of Jesus. Brad highlights how Priscilla and Aquila gently and privately helped Apollos grow in his faith, offering a compelling picture of humility, teachability, and behind-the-scenes leadership—especially the prominent role of Priscilla as a woman teacher in the early church. Drawing connections to everyday life, he shares how wisdom can come from anyone, at any age, and emphasizes the quiet heroes who support others without seeking the spotlight. The episode concludes with practical action steps for staying teachable and becoming a “Priscilla” to someone else, along with an invitation to explore the free ABC 123 Bible Study Method and support the mission of getting the audible word of God into 2 million ears by 2028.Key TakeawaysApollos as a Model of Gifted Yet Growing FaithApollos was eloquent, powerful, and well-educated in Scripture, yet his understanding of Jesus was incomplete—showing that even capable leaders still have room to grow.Gentle, Private Correction as a Loving PracticePriscilla and Aquila took Apollos aside privately rather than embarrassing him publicly, modeling how real growth often happens through respectful, behind-the-scenes conversations.The Significance of Priscilla’s Leadership and Women in MinistryThe ordering “Priscilla and Aquila” underscores Priscilla’s prominent teaching role, challenging assumptions that leadership in the Bible is exclusively male and affirming that the Spirit works through everyone, regardless of gender.Wisdom Can Come from Anywhere and AnyoneBrad’s reflections on his young granddaughters and their sense of wonder illustrate that wisdom isn’t confined to age, status, or title—it is available if we remain humble and open.The Power of Behind-the-Scenes People in God’s KingdomThe episode honors quiet caregivers and unseen supporters—those who rarely get the spotlight but whose faithful presence and encouragement “run” much of God’s work in the world.Action Steps: Stay Teachable and Be a “Priscilla” to OthersListeners are invited to (1) actively seek feedback and receive it as a gift, and (2) gently help someone else grow—offering private, encouraging guidance without needing recognition.Links referenced in this episode:voiceofgoddaily.comThe "Daily Bible Refresh" is presented each day by Rev.
