Spiritual Gifts
Mar 12, 2021Tap to summarizeMelissa Kruger, Jasmine Holmes, and Jackie Hill Perry all come from different church backgrounds with different views of spiritual gifts. Yet when they talk about this sometimes contentious subject, they find a lot to agree about. Scripture teaches that unless we exercise spiritual gifts in love, they are worthless. And when we truly understand God's design for the body of Christ, we won't be threatened by others' giftedness.On this episode of Let's Talk, our hosts discuss whether spiritual gifts are tied to natural giftedness or whether they only show up only after conversion. They talk about how to discover spiritual gifts and whether we should use spiritual gift "tests" or inventories.Related Content:A Compilation of Resources on Spiritual GiftsHow (Not) to Discover Your Spiritual GiftsThe Gift of ProphecyCan Any Christian Learn How to Do Miracles?Favorite Music Mentioned in this Episode:City AlightTrust in You by Antoine BradfordBe Held by Christy NockelsIntercession by Tasha Cobbs LeonardThis season of Let’s Talk is sponsored by RTS Global, the online program at Reformed Theological Seminary.

Decision-Making
Jul 17, 2020Tap to summarizeSome decisions, like who to marry, are big and will affect the rest of your life. Other decisions aren't as momentous, but they feel just as big.On this episode of Let's Talk, Melissa Kruger, Jackie Hill Perry, and Jasmine Holmes talk about some of the big decisions they have made in life. They recognize that wise decisions come from seeking godly counsel, praying, meditating on God's Word. But even when a person does these things, the right decision isn't always abundantly clear.Jasmine points out that we treat some decisions as if we are going to be bound by them forever. In the case of marriage, we are, but when it comes to other things we agonize over (such as school choice or the purchase of a home), we can make the best choice based on our current knowledge, and recalibrate sometime in the future if we need to. Wrestling through decisions isn't easy, but seeking God's guidance increases our reliance upon him.In this episode, our hosts cover:Cutting with the sharp end of the ax—making tough decisions with surety (1:44)Inviting others into your decision-making (4:40)How to discern between God leading you, your feelings, and your friends (9:21)Living free of comparison in decision-making (13:26)A process for healthy decision-making (19:09)When God redeems a decision (25:34)One of their favorite things (28:55)Related content:12 Steps to Making Better DecisionsDon't Trust the Peace in Your HeartWhat Is Discernment and How Do I Get Some?
