Interestingly, when you come to the subject of spiritual gifts in the NewTestament and in the church today it can be a matter of division rather thanunity. People have so many different opinions and ideas and biblical teachingsthat they're given about spiritual gifts that there's division in the churchover the gifts. That happened in the church of Corinth. It is apparent that inthis early church some believers thought because they had certain spiritualcharismatic type gifts that they were more spiritual than other people. Theywere puffed up about it. No doubt that's why Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 13, wherehe talked about love. Basically, he writes and tells us that the exercise ofthe gifts of the Spirit without the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit, whichis love, the gift “profits nothing”. Weshould practice and exercise our spiritual gifts that we have been individuallygiven in the spirit and motivation of love to glorify God. When we do that, webuild up the body of Jesus Christ, encourage and comfort, and edify one anotheras we read in the three passages of scriptures that have to do especially withspiritual gifts. Remember the three main passages in the New Testament on thissubject are Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, 13 and 14 and here in Ephesians 4.Itis important to remember as we look at the subject of Spiritual gifts that thereare difference of opinions. I personally teach that the gifts can be dividedinto three categories which are, the speaking gifts, the service gifts, and thesign gifts. For examples, in the early church the speaking gifts, would haveincluded teaching, exhortation, and prophecy. The service gifts would have includedadministration, giving, ministering, and mercy. The sign gifts would haveincluded healing, miracles, tongues and interpretation of tongues. Whenit comes to the giving and exercising of the sign gifts, I personally believe, (andrealize that many Bible teachers and others, and some of my best friends woulddisagree with me when it comes to this particular category of gifts), that thesign gifts ceased with the completion of the New Testament being written. Thesegifts were only for the baby church. Remember in 1 Corinthians 13 when Paulwrote, “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, butwhen I became a man, I put away childish things”. , I believe, Paul isindicating that when we have a complete Bible that we did not need the signedgifts. Nowthis doesn't mean that today somebody couldn't speak miraculously speak in anotherlanguage and share the gospel to someone else. It doesn't mean that someonecouldn't pray and experience a healing for themselves or for someone else. Itdoesn't mean that someone can't pray for a miracle and a miracle takes place. Ibelieve all those things are still possible. But as far as a gift to aparticular person who could walk into hospital and empty it because he or she hasthe gift of healing. I just have never met that person today. I don't believeit's necessary because we have the complete Word of God and we don't need signs. Again,this is my opinion, and I have great fellowship with pastors and friends whofeel and believe differently about this particular subject, because we love oneanother and agree the main thing is that lost people need to experience salvationthrough Jesus Christ. Itrust this has not confused you today but that we focus on exercising our Spiritualgifts for the purpose of edifying, encouraging, and exhorting one another inthe body of Christ with love and unity, and most of all glorify the Lord JesusChrist! Godbless!

Todaywe're looking at Ephesians 4:1-3. The first 16 verses of this chapter is aboutthe unity, the unity of the body of Christ, the church. Having unity in thechurch that shows forth to the world that we are one in Christ. We love oneanother. Jesus had told His disciples, "By this shall all men know thatyou are my disciples because of your love for one another" (John13:35). To truly love one another means will manifest itself in unity. We setaside our differences, our preferences, and out of God's love and reservoir ofHis great endless love, we are now able to forgive one another, love oneanother, and have unity in the church. Inthese first 16 verses, we see four very important things about this unity. Inverses 1-3, we see the grace of this unity. Then we see in verses 4-6, theground of unity. How that we are one in spirit, one in body, one in theFather, one in the Son, one in baptism. Then we'll see in verses 7-11, thegifts of unity. The gifts of the body of Christ that He has given us that enablesus to serve one another and to work together. Then in verses 12-16, we see thegrowth of unity, as we grow into the fullness of Christ. Meaning we areChristlike in our attitude toward one another. We're Christlike in our attitudetoward the lost world around us. Having the heart of Jesus that shows forth thematurity of the Christian believer. AsI was studying for this chat this morning, I couldn't help but think if I as apastor again, I would not just recommend, I would require every new churchmember, indeed every church member, to read Ephesians 4 over and over again,almost memorize it. Nowthis unity is so important. What we must remember is, unity is not uniformity.Unity comes from within. It's a spiritual grace. While uniformity is the resultof pressure from without. The real church is not everybody dressing alike,looking alike, sounding alike, talking alike. You see some churches like that.That's not the real church. The real church is diversity with unity. Unity withdiversity. We have old people with gray hair, white hair, sitting there lovingJesus, loving the children, loving the young couples. We see the young couplesand the children loving the old people. We see the people that like and preferthe Christian contemporary music loving the people that like the Beethoven typeof Christian music. And vice versa. We are people that get along with eachother despite our differences. This is “the unity of the Spirit in the bondof peace” as we read in these first three verses. Remember in verse 1, Paultells us to, "Walk worthy of the calling by which you werecalled." What were we called to? We are called to unity. Thenin verses 2-3, we see how that is possible. With all lowliness, gentleness,with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep theunity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Here we see seven differentattributes or graces of this unity that we should be experiencing in ourchurches. The first one is “with all lowliness”. The other word for “lowliness”is humility. We humble ourselves. We prefer one another over the other, andover ourselves. It means we put Christ first in our lives. And because we putHim first in our lives, others around us are being loved, and ourselves are putlast. Real JOY is Jesus first, Others second, and Yourselflast. Oh,my friend, may God help us to pray that we have that unity in our churchestoday. The sad thing is that so many churches today have a reputation of a handfulof people running and ruining the church. Always making problems that causesdisunity that destroys the love of Christ in the body of Christ and destroys ourwitness and testimony to the world around us. MayGod speak to our hearts today through these verses to help us all go back toour churches and endeavor to have this unity in the body of believers in ourlocal church!
We're joined by journalist and former climate activist Lucy Biggers of The Free Press (and formerly NowThis) to talk about the surprising intersection of motherhood and politics, and what happens when we're brave enough to reexamine our deeply held beliefs.Now a mom of two toddlers, Lucy shares how motherhood reshaped her worldview, inviting her to question ideological narratives she once championed. Together, we explore what it means to humbly change your mind in a polarized world and why motherhood often becomes the great equalizer, forcing us to think not in slogans, but in legacy.From fossil fuels and climate activism to the dangers of Marxism and socialism, we navigate some of today's most polarizing conversations with honesty and curiosity. Because when a topic becomes untouchable, we lose our ability to engage, discern, and build a better future for our children.This one's for the mothers (and fathers) willing to hold nuance, question dogma, and plant seeds of truth for the next generation.Support the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

This is a first for me - a part 2. If you haven't heard my first interview with Riordan Maynard, the businessman who got sent to maximum security prison in the US for 6 years, go back and listen now! The reaction from that first episode was astonishing so we simply had to get him back in to answer all those burning questions you all had sent in…We talk about the lasting impact of prison on his confidence, his identity, and most of all, his family. And of course, dive into the ins and outs of what prison in the states is really like.We cover:• The PTSD he now lives with after leaving jail• The unexpected friendships (and business offers) he made in prison (including an offer to be the European Cocaine King!!)• Mental resilience he developed inside• The impact of his time away on his kids and wife• How he's rebuilding his life nowThis is a conversation about second chances and what it really takes to rebuild your life after everything has fallen apart.

Let's talk about something I never thought I'd be sharing with this much conviction—how AI is helping me actually reclaim my time and lead my business with more ease (especially heading into summer).I was hesitant about bringing AI into my world. I didn't want to lose the personal touch or creativity that makes my work meaningful. But what I found instead? AI isn't replacing my voice—it's helping me protect it.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I'm using AI right now to simplify and streamline everything from content creation to email management to internal systems. Not in a cold, robotic way—but in a way that frees up my brain, closes open loops, and creates space for what matters most: presence with my family, peace in my calendar, and momentum in the business.If you're a visionary entrepreneur who's tired of doing it all and wants to protect your energy this season without slowing your growth, this one's for you.In this episode, I share: ⚡ Why I was hesitant about AI—and what changed

It's about building bridges, one small shift at a time. If you've ever said “I've tried to talk about it… but nothing changes,” this one's for you.➡️ Book a Free Clarity Session with Amy!
I sat down with co-host Ally Golden and Michael Vito Valentino, Editor in Chief at NowThis for Episode 2 of the POSSIBLE 2025 conference series. Gen Z is redefining what “entertainment” means in the 21st century. We discuss the serialized content approach Michael and his team are taking at NowThis and how it's paving the way for brand loyalty with Gen-Z females. Additionally, we explore the evolving role of brand integrations in a crowded landscape and how brands can authentically embed themselves into cultural conversations.Key Takeaways:// Niche is the new mainstream. There's heavy competition in the attention economy and your brand can stand out by identifying niches. Once you have fans, community and trust - you can convert short-term audiences to long-term fans. // Short-form, repeatable formats with full story arcs is what Gen-Z is craving out of their content. Audiences want consistency and to know what to expect.// Gen-Z doesn't hate advertisements. They hate crappy advertisements. Content needs to be as authentic and real as possible by speaking their language and giving them what they want.// Manufacturing virality is difficult to promise as a part of any campaign. Virality comes from taste, knowing what your audience wants and a consistent approach to authenticity.

You say you're tired. Unmotivated. Lost in the chaos. But what if the truth is...you're not lazy — you're just scared of who you really are.The version of you that doesn't people-please.The version that speaks up, takes up space, and walks in purpose.The version that doesn't wait for permission.This episode isn't soft.
