Growing in Spiritual Authority as Servant-Leaders – The Five Gifts Podcast
In this episode of The Five Gifts Podcast, Charles Russell and Bruce Ritter unpack 10 Core Themes from Rob Reimer’s Spiritual Authority and connect them to the Fivefold Ministry model. From intimacy with God to authority rooted in compassion, they explore how apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists each embody and express spiritual authority in unique ways.
Through biblical insights, leadership reflections, and real-life illustrations, Charles and Bruce show how God’s authority is cultivated, tested, and released in everyday ministry. Whether you’re serving in the pulpit, the marketplace, or your community, this conversation will strengthen your confidence in Christ’s authority at work in you.
