Welcome to The Narrated Puritan Podcast. In this episode, we unpack the practical and pastoral brilliance of John Owen's Works on the Holy Spirit (Volume 4)—a masterwork that defends the self-evidencing light of Scripture, illuminates the Holy Spirit's vital role in genuine prayer, and draws crucial distinctions between temporary spiritual gifts and true saving grace. Whether you are looking to sharpen your theological discernment, guard your heart against spiritual drift, or simply grasp how the Spirit actively applies God's Word to your daily life, join us as we bridge the gap between 17th-century Puritan depth and today's modern listener. There is a discussion in some detail of the argument of "cessationism."
Kris McGregor reflects on St. Hildegard of Bingen's counsel to St. Elisabeth of Schönau on spiritual gifts, temptation, Benedictine listening, false humility, fear, and learning to recognize where God is leading.

To make a home is to practice the love and delight of God in tangible ways, to welcome others into the comfort we have received, and to see God's presence in the beauty and mess of both everyday and exceptional moments. The spiritual discipline of hospitality can powerfully awaken our delight in God.Stephanie Rousselle welcomes her friend Christie Purifoy, author of a stunning new book “A house to call home.” Christie has generously endorsed Stephanie's new book, “Awaken Delight.” Together they unpack how making a home—whether grand or simple—is an overflow of God's love and presence in us.True hospitality starts with receiving. The desire and ability to make others feel seen and cherished comes from first experiencing the love of God. Before hospitality can overflow onto others, we must learn to be at home with God, rooted in His delight in us. Christie says, “it starts with the home that we're cultivating with God, in your own place, whatever that looks like for you. Start there and then let it be this fountain that flows.”Hospitality is not about impressing people with perfection, but about making space for Christ to be present to ourselves and our guests. In that way, hosting is imitating Jesus, who makes His home in us and invites us to abide in Him. God's beauty and comfort are received in tangible ways—through a cozy chair, a beautiful garden, or a shared meal for example.Home is not made in isolation. Truly memorable gatherings are communal efforts. The most “heaven-on-earth” experiences in hospitality come not from doing everything alone, but by allowing others to contribute their unique gifts. Community is the body of Christ, where everyone offers and receives comfort, blessing, and meaning.While it's tempting to focus on making things look beautiful, genuine hospitality puts people, presence, and meaning above appearances. Christie says, “A pretty picture does not a home make...it's got to be a place for life.” Prayer, listening, and time spent together matter more than an immaculate home. Hosting is about making the table a safe and restful space.Hospitality thrives in daily routines. Baking pizza, sharing breakfast, or simply inviting someone to sit with us become sacred when it flows from a well-ordered life with God. As in the life of Jesus—who shared picnics and quiet moments—holiness is found in the ordinary when we are present to others.Home is a place of comfort, even amidst hardship. Christie shares how a personal dream—a home library—became a deep source of God's comfort during a family crisis. This illustrates the way God meets us in practical, physical spaces to remind us of His presence.Just as parents rejoice when children enjoy their gifts, God delights in blessing us. Our ability to delight in homemaking, beauty, and hospitality is an earthly practice for the joy of heaven, mirroring God's own hospitality.Creating "home" is a spiritual practice deeply rooted in Christian hospitality, personal delight in God, and the beauty of ordinary life.Some thoughts worth pondering1. Hospitality Flows from the Home We Receive2. Jesus as the Center of Hospitality3. The Power of Community4. Beauty and Meaning Over Perfection5. Ordinary Moments as Sacred6. Making Home in Suffering7. God's Delight in UsA Question to Ponder: How might you cultivate a deeper sense of “home” in your life with God—and let that overflow onto others?MORE ABOUT "AWAKEN DELIGHT" BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

As we tend to our dwellings with love and intention, something unexpected happens: we discover that the homes we've been caring for now have the capacity to care for us.Inspired by the life of the particular house she knows best, Christie Purifoy offers reflections and practical suggestions for anyone who longs to create a place for rest and healing, for wonder and welcome. Amid insights on the true meaning of comfort, you'll find decor inspiration, thrifting tips, and homemaking traditions.Your house can be a haven. It can grow into a sacred place.

This week we're taking issue with a Vice President! JD Vance recently sat down with a very young podcaster to discuss his lifelong fascination with end-times prophecy, his suspicion that the Antichrist may already be walking among us, and his willingness to shrug if doing "God's work" happens to bring on the eschaton — so, after being fairly fair to him, we're looking at what his newly adopted church actually teaches about hastening the end, what Matthew 24 was really promising and to whom, and why every flood and drought now arrives with a prophecy hot take attached. Then, at a listener's request, it's the gifts of the Spirit: what Paul was actually arguing back in 1 Corinthians 12, why the list works nothing like leveling up in D&D, and whether celibacy (or its opposite) counts as a charisma.

Our text today is 1 Peter 4:10-11: As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. — 1 Peter 4:10-11 One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. Much of his public life had been spent speaking to students, inviting debate, building an organization, and mobilizing young people around deeply held convictions. His death was a sobering reminder that none of us knows how long we will have to use what has been entrusted to us. Charlie clearly possessed unusual capacities for communication, leadership, organization, and influence—and he chose to put them to work. Peter writes: "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace." Notice Peter's first words: "As each has received a gift." He does not reserve ministry for pastors, speakers, missionaries, or people with large platforms. Every believer has received grace from God that can strengthen someone else. The word Peter uses for "gift" is charisma, which derives from charis, the Greek word for grace. A spiritual gift is not something we earn or create. It is grace entrusted to us so that God's grace can reach others through us. A spiritual gift is grace with an assignment. That is why Peter tells us to use it "to serve one another." Your gift was not given primarily to make you feel significant. It was given because someone else needs what God intends to provide through you. Peter also calls believers "good stewards." A steward manages what belongs to someone else. Your gift is not your possession to hoard, compare, or use for self-promotion. It belongs to God, and He has placed it in your hands for a purpose. This changes the way we think about gifts. A spiritual gift is not a spotlight. It is a stewardship. Peter then places ministry into two broad categories: speaking and serving. Some believers communicate truth, teach Scripture, encourage faith, or proclaim the gospel. Others organize, give, show mercy, extend hospitality, meet practical needs, or quietly strengthen people behind the scenes. One form may be more visible, but it is not more valuable. The person speaking to thousands, like Charlie, and the person quietly encouraging one discouraged believer, like you and me, may both be faithful stewards of God's grace. Peter also explains how these gifts should be used. Those who speak must remain governed by God's truth. Those who serve must depend on the strength God supplies. We do not merely work for God through natural energy. We allow Him to work through us by His Spirit. And the goal is clear: "That in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ." This one-year anniversary of Charlie's assassination invites a personal question for suffering and exiled believers trying to live holy in a hostile world. Are you faithfully using what God has placed in your hands? You may still be unsure how God has gifted you. That is worth discovering. An assessment cannot assign your calling or replace prayer, Scripture, service, and the wisdom of mature believers. But it can help you identify patterns of grace God may already be expressing through your life. You can take my 80-question Spiritual Gifts Assessment and begin exploring how God may have equipped you to serve, lead, give, encourage, teach, or care for others. https://beresolute.org/sga/ An assessment may help name your gift. Service will help develop it. Fruit and faithful believers will help confirm it. None of us controls how long we have to use what God has entrusted to us. So stop comparing your gift to someone else's. Stop waiting for a larger audience, a perfect opportunity, or complete certainty. Begin serving the people God has already placed around you. The gift comes from God. The strength comes from God. And the glory belongs to God. DO THIS: Take my Spiritual Gifts Assessment today. Then ask two mature believers who know you well, "Where have you seen God consistently use me to strengthen other people?" Choose one practical way to begin serving with that gift this week. https://beresolute.org/sga/ ASK THIS: What patterns of service, leadership, encouragement, teaching, giving, or care has God consistently used in my life? Am I using what God gave me to serve others—or waiting for recognition and a larger opportunity? Where could I begin exercising my gift in God's strength right now? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for giving every believer a place in Your work. Help me recognize the grace You have entrusted to me and use it faithfully for the good of others. Guard me from comparison, pride, fear, and passivity. Supply the strength I need to speak and serve so that Jesus is honored and You receive all the glory. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Available."

God could have made every believer great at everything. He didn't—and that was on purpose. This week we wrap up our series on spiritual gifts with the final two: leading and mercy. Leaders cast vision, organize, and guide people toward a destination. Those with the gift of mercy run toward the hurting and stay until everyone's okay. Both are essential. Both are needed. And here's the thing—the closer you get to Jesus, the more all of these gifts start to shape who you are. Don't get so focused on finding your one thing that you miss the one thing: following Him.

Spiritual gifts can bring out the best in a marriage or the worst, depending on whether we treat them like a tool for serving or a trophy for proving ourselves. We start with a simple tension we see in real couples all the time: when we push into an area where our spouse is strong, we stop completing each other and start competing. That competition breeds conflict, resentment, and spiritual drift, even when both people genuinely want a biblically healthy marriage. We also name the baggage many of us carry from church culture. Some of us grew up with spiritual gifts barely mentioned, while others have watched them get abused for attention, control, or money. We unpack why that history makes couples want to avoid the topic altogether, and why ignoring spiritual gifts quietly drains spiritual life from the home. God gives gifts for a stated purpose: to build up the church and extend the kingdom, starting with the “two or more gathered” reality of husband and wife. Then we get painfully practical about prerequisites. If salvation is real, your marriage should be able to talk about it clearly. Could your spouse tell your testimony with details, not just say you “grew up Christian”? We walk through Romans 10, connect it to the Great Commission in Matthew 28, and point to key Bible passages on spiritual gifts like 1 Corinthians 12 and 14, Romans 12, Ephesians 4, and 1 Peter 4. We close with next steps for couples and families to become better stewards of what God has given.

Together, we explore spiritual gifts, discernment, evidential psychic mediumship, receiving support, limiting beliefs, abundance, and the faith required to keep showing up when the path feels messy. If you have been questioning your own spiritual gifts, your intuitive guidance, or the support available for the work you are here to do, this conversation on the Oracle On Purpose podcast will meet you in that space.

This sermon examines the first eleven verses of 1 Corinthians 12 to explain the nature and purpose of spiritual gifts within the church. The preacher addresses the theological debate between cessationists and continuationists regarding the presence of miraculous gifts today while emphasizing that all believers possess some manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. Key themes include the sovereignty of the Triune God in distributing diverse abilities, the necessity of discerning true spiritual utterances from false ones, and the specific functions of gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, prophecy, and tongues. The text highlights that these manifestations are not for personal pride but are designed to benefit others and glorify Christ. Ultimately, the message affirms that every gift originates from the Holy Spirit who distributes them according to His sovereign will.
God didn't give you a spiritual gift to sit on—He gave it to give away. This week we continue our series on spiritual gifts with two more from Romans 12: encouragement and giving. Whether you're the person who always knows the right thing to say, or the one who quietly looks for ways to be generous, your gift is needed in the church. God gave first, and He invites us to do the same—determined, planned, and cheerful. Whatever your gift is, the King of Kings made you uniquely for it. Use it.
I. Our diversity of gifting is designed for our unique time and place in the body of Christ, v11. II. Our diversity of gifting is to be in service of one another's spiritual health and service, v12. III. Our diversity of gifting is to be in service of one another's spiritual maturity, v13.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches on stewardship. Proverbs 10:2222 The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it.Proverbs 11:2525The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.2 Corinthians 9:88 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have an abundance for every good work.3 John 1:22 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospersLuke 6:3838 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”Luke 16:1-131 He also said to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. 2 So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.' 3 “Then the steward said within himself, ‘What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.' 5 “So he called every one of his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?' 6 And he said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.' So he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?' So he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.' And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light. 9 “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, (wealth) that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. 10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own? 13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”Romans 14:1212 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.2 Corinthians 5:1010 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.Jeremiah 17:99 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?Matthew 15:1919 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.Proverbs 3:5-75 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.James 1:55 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.Haggai 2:88 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the Lord of hosts.Luke 22:1919 …do this in remembrance of Me.”1 Corinthians 11:2626 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.Matthew 26:2828 for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.Ephesians 2:8-98 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Matt Pearson, Senior Pastor of ClearView Baptist Church in Franklin, Tennessee continues the sermon series "ClearView: Who We Are, What We're About" with "Our Strategy: Spiritual Gifts."
We now come to a special part of Paul's letter to the Corinthians, these are chapters 12 to 14, and the first two are for today and they start, “Now concerning spiritual gifts ….” And Paul seeks to put their understanding of these gifts into a godly perspective. Paul first makes the point, “When you were pagans you were led astray…” [v.2] At that time they had experienced all kinds of trances and ecstasy, as can still be observed among some primitive peoples today, being seen as ‘gifts' from their imagined gods. Paul tells them that, as members of Christ, “there are varieties of gifts … and there are varieties of service, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone” [v.4-6]. These are to be used “for the common good”. [v.7] – not in competition. These gentiles in Corinth had no Bible to read, and so “through the Spirit … one is given … the utterance of wisdom … another the utterance of knowledge …” The gift of tongues is mentioned last – and Paul counsels them to “earnestly desire the higher gifts” [v.31] adding, “and I will show you a still more excellent way.” This brings us to the marvellous exposition he gives on the value of love. In ch. 13. One can “have all faith … but have not love” then, says Paul, “I am nothing” [v.2,1] In ch. 12 Paul had made the point, which we might fail to stress, “”Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” Collectively, together we make up “the body of Christ.” For, says Paul, “the body does not consist of one member but of many.” [v.14] Believers must team together as parts of Christ's body of believers, using the individual abilities they have been given for the common good – above all, to display and practise the collective character of Christ. In that way, our children who have not yet accepted Christ will be influenced – and of course, unbelievers – if they are seekers, will be attracted. Head knowledge is essential, but is only half of “the body” – our hearts are the other half! A body is “dead” if it has no heart: Head and heart team together to produce faith The end of ch. 13 sums it all up, “So now faith, hope and love abide … but the greatest of these is love.” To finish, let us meditate on that verse: in the kingdom age, hope will be fulfilled and turn into sight, so faith will not be needed. The one thing that will “abide” is “love.” That will be the all-embracing spirit of mind in that wondrous time, how vital we develop it now if we aim, by His grace, to be there.

M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary, unpacked several spiritual gifts, how they should be used biblically, and why every believer has a role in building up the church.

Every man is to pray or call upon God, according as he is able, with respect unto his own condition, relations, occasions, and duties. Certainly there is not a man in the world who hath not forfeited all his reason and understanding unto atheism, or utterly buried all their operations under the fury of brutish affections, but he is convinced that it is his duty to pray to the deity he owns, in words of his own, as well as he is able; for this, and none other, is the genuine and natural notion of prayer. This is implanted in the heart of mankind, which they need not be taught nor directed unto.

There's a belief in the online space that if you can just master the algorithm, build the right funnel, and stay consistent with content, your business will grow—but I've found that's only part of the picture. Those strategies can absolutely work, but they don't guarantee alignment, joy, or the kind of transformation that truly sustains a business. In this episode, I share why we're being called into a new way of building—one that prioritizes alignment before repetition and mastery. Because when you're out of alignment, even success can feel draining. This is where your spiritual gifts become the true engine behind your growth, your impact, and your ability to create a business that actually feels good to run.In this episode, I share:Why strategies like funnels, content, and visibility can work—but won't replace alignmentHow alignment, repetition, and joy work together to create true mastery in your businessWhy your spiritual gifts are the key to deeper client transformation and sustainable growthTimestamps:00:23 Strategy Versus Alignment03:33 Joy Fuels Mastery04:42 Olympic Alignment Story07:37 Repetition Without Burnout08:25 Aligned Marketing Choices10:32 Spiritual Gifts Revolution13:49 Visibility Myth15:22 Transformation Drives Growth16:16 Activate Gifts With Soul Blueprint19:49 InvitationSTAY CONNECTED:Discover the Human Design chart of your business, and how it's naturally designed to create momentum, visibility, and aligned clients.
