Episode notes

- Get baptism-in-the-Spirit foundations early in a church plant to shape identity and culture.
- Create an atmosphere that expects and handles spiritual gifts well for both believers and visitors.
Gifts Can Draw Nonbelievers
- Properly handled spiritual gifts can attract and bless nonbelievers rather than repel them.
- Gifts become assets when explained and exercised in healthy pastoral contexts.
