Spiritual Gifts

I was excited to do the podcast on Spiritual gifts because they are something that have always fascinated me. I ordered Discover Your God Given Gifts when I was in college. I remember sitting in my dad’s hospital room while he was having eye surgery on Christmas break and studying the book. My grandmother asked me “You’re out of school and still studying?” I remember replying, “Yeah, but this is something I want to learn about.” Spiritual gifts are quite interesting and there are literally 100s of resources out there about them. You must be very careful when finding good resources. You want to make sure that your sources is theologically sound. I was lucky with my first source, because I was young and naive and literally just picked something off of a Christian book distributors website. The others however, were recommended in a Spiritual Gifts for Women class that I took in seminary. So, I feel certain these are sound in their doctrine.

Now, The most important source that you can ever use for studying spiritual gifts is of course scripture, so I will be giving you plenty of that to look at as well. Here is a list of Scripture you should be sure and go to:

1 Corinthians 12
Romans 12
Ephesians 4
1 Peter 4

There are also many more specific verses that apply to specific gifts themselves. But, that is a start. Below you can also find the books I recommend for studying spiritual gifts.
