5FF11-How do I approach my church- 5 Fold Forum

In this episode of "5-Fold Forum," hosts Nikki Kliegl and Carrie Hurley explore the challenge of integrating and discussing spiritual gifts within a church setting. They address common issues like the fear of rejection or misunderstanding, lack of knowledge or confidence, unfamiliarity with spiritual gifts, and resistance to change within congregations. They emphasize the importance of approaching church leadership with humility, prayer, and scripture, specifically referencing passages like 2 Timothy 1:7, which speaks to God not giving us a spirit of fear, and 1 Peter 3:15, which encourages being prepared to share one's faith with gentleness. They suggest practical steps for congregants, including praying for guidance, studying relevant scriptures, engaging in open dialogue with church leaders, suggesting educational resources, and maintaining patience and persistence. The hosts underscore the blessing of a church community that embraces the Holy Spirit's gifts, leading to unity, empowerment, and transformation, while reminding listeners that the church extends beyond the building to include all believers.
