Episode Summary. This episode begins a series, Helping Our Loved Ones Flourish Using Their Spiritual Gifts. Understanding and deploying our spiritual gifts is so central to the lives of Christians, that we cannot help our loved ones become all God wants them to be in Christ, without understanding what Paul teaches about spiritual gifts. The two gifts from the Romans 12 list of spiritual gifts that are still being given today covered in this episode can be confusing. Prophecy doesn’t mean foretelling the future but something far more important. Teaching doesn’t mean you are great in the classroom, but something even more important for today’s church. This episode helps identify these two gifts in yourself or your loved ones.

For Further Prayerful Thought

Was there someone in whom you saw the characteristics of a prophet or teacher?
Why might it be helpful to one you know who appears to have the gift of prophet or teacher to understand their gift?
If you have neither the gift of prophecy nor teaching, can you understand why you might react certain ways to those who have that gift?
