Spiritual Gifts - How Do They Work?

When I was a parish pastor, the gifts that we focused on were your traditional spiritual gifts for the service of the church. A lot of times these gifts are seen outside of who we are as God's children. So our approach to it is that each of us have been given by God are to be utilized for more than just work. And one of the big turning points for me when I looked at the understanding of giftedness wasn't from like an economical standpoint, but really from a human standpoint.
