Romans 16:3-5 – Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well. Greet also the church in their house.

They aren’t flashy, their names aren’t in lights. They’re not out front. They are living and serving among the people. This describes those that lead from the middle. Their influence is felt in the scores of people around them that have been greatly influenced.

This term “leading from the middle” is one I learned from a fellow preacher, Mike Sullivan, as he was describing the life and influence of our dear friends that recently died. Brett and Wendy Kincaid were these types of people, leading from the middle.

In today’s podcast we will consider an incredible Christian couple in the Bible named Priscilla and Aquila. They weren’t out front like Paul or Apollos, but as you read the pages of Acts and the letters of Paul you can see their powerful influence in Rome, Ephesus and Corinth. They led from the middle. They lived among the people. They risked their necks for Paul, served the brethren and loved the Lord Jesus.
