Blessing the Marketplace Leader: A Forgotten Key to Revival – The Five Gifts Podcast
Charles Russell and Bruce Ritter explore the leadership gift for the Marketplace. Many believers feel a strong leadership calling but struggle to see how it fits in the local church. This episode reframes leadership as a sacred ministry in the marketplace – where vision, creativity, and stewardship advance the Kingdom of God.
In this episode:
• Why the Church needs vision-casting leaders, not just teachers
• How leadership and management work together in the Kingdom
• How pastors can affirm, bless, and commission marketplace believers
• Practical ways to lead by the Spirit at work every day
Whether you lead a business, a ministry, or a team, this conversation will remind you that your leadership is not secular – it’s sacred.
Listen now and rediscover your calling to lead with faith, purpose, and Spirit-led wisdom.
