Show Description

Can you train someone in spiritual gifts? Depends on what you mean by "training." Joshua Lewis walks through why training DOESN'T manufacture gifts of the Spirit, but rather creates a biblical, accountable community to discover and steward the spiritual gifts God has already given.


If you’ve wondered how to grow in spiritual gifts without sliding into charismatic chaos, this episode will give you biblical categories, guardrails, and practical next steps. You’ll see why training in spiritual gifts isn't about performance, emotionalism, or hype and is instead about cultivating a theologically serious, Jesus-centered community.
