PARENTS AND CHILDREN OF THE BIBLE PART 4

 Episode Title: Philip’s Daughters and the Gift of Prophecy

Description:
In Acts 21, we meet Philip the Evangelist—not only as a faithful servant of the early church but also as the father of four remarkable daughters. Scripture tells us these young women had the gift of prophecy, a detail that may seem small but carries deep significance for understanding the work of the Holy Spirit and the role of women in the early church.

In this episode, we explore:

• Who Philip the Evangelist was and his impact in the book of Acts.

• The spiritual legacy he passed on to his daughters.

• Why prophecy was such an important gift in the New Testament church.

• What it means that these women were “virgins who prophesied.”

• How their example fulfills Joel’s prophecy about sons and daughters prophesying in the last days.

• Practical insights for parents, leaders, and believers today about nurturing faith and spiritual gifts in the next generation.
