LISTEN TO THE EPISODE
Summary:
In this episode, we dive into how to access the Holy Spirit’s gifts as you make disciples. Cynthia and Jenn unpack 1 Corinthians 12, exploring the incredible variety of spiritual gifts—from wisdom and healing to prophecy and tongues—and how they’re distributed by God for the good of the body. They talk about practical ways to discover and grow in your gifts, including listening prayer, worship, and even taking steps of faith to experiment. You’ll hear personal stories, insights on spiritual gift tests, and encouragement for those who feel their gifts aren’t the “big ones.”
Whether you’re new to disciple-making or ready to go deeper, this conversation will inspire you to ask, seek, and step out in faith. The Holy Spirit has gifts for you—are you ready to use them for His Kingdom?
Key Points From This Episode:
- The Holy Spirit is a gift giver. He has a gift for you! Probably more than one.
- You discover your gifts by experimenting and taking steps of faith to obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit, or even crazy ideas that aren’t from him. Taking risks of faith.
- Spiritual giftings tests and personality tests have their place, but a lot of this is discovered in practical situations as you step out to do things God’s speaking to you about.
- There is a difference between the gifts of the spirit mentioned in 1 Cor 12 (often called power gifts) and what we call the five-fold ministry gifts mentioned in Ephesians 4:11-13 which have more to do with roles. They all come from the Holy Spirit though and are ours to use for disciple-making and His Kingdom.
- The Holy Spirit chooses which gifts you should have, but you are free to ask for them.
- The gifts of the Spirit don’t come from training per se, but they do grow stronger as we use them and learn from others who also move in these gifts.
