Living the Gifts: From Sunday to Everyday – The Five Gifts Podcast
In this episode, hosts Charles Russell and Bruce Ritter tackle one of the biggest gaps in modern Christianity: the disconnect between Sunday worship and Monday reality.
Most believers think spiritual gifts are primarily for church services, but what if that perspective misses 95% of your life? This episode unpacks seven transformative principles from Romans 12 that turn spiritual gifts from occasional church incidents into a supernatural lifestyle.
Charles and Bruce explore how to overcome the twin obstacles of pride and low self-esteem, why diversity in the Body is God's design (not a problem to fix), and how personal inadequacy actually positions you for greater effectiveness. You'll discover practical steps for beginning to minister prophetic gifts, including the principles of incarnation, process, preparation, interdependence, and clear communication.
Whether you're a seasoned minister or just curious about what God might do through you, this episode will challenge you to see your everyday life—at work, in your neighborhood, with your family—as sacred ground where the Spirit can move powerfully.
