I like to hear the robustness. LOL! I absolutely believe that the church needs to embrace that everyone has a spiritual gift. The church is so focused on leadership, that if a person does not have that give, they are just not looked on as being valuable. Really valuable. With that being said, I dont think that our gifts are there to be recognized by others, but instead should bring glory to God. I think there are just so many people who do not know what their spiritual gift is.
Why would our gifts not be recognized by others? If I want to help OTHERS with music or whatever gift, how does that not involve others? It sounds like you would rather HIDE your talent then show the world. Hiding your talent gives no glory to God. Read the parables of the talents in Matthew
I love the scriptures used. I think “sober mind” also relates to our mind in and around trauma. Can one be sober minded when their brain is functioning out of trauma and trauma responses. Which adds yet another beautiful layer to the importance of mental healing ❤ Ty for all your work!
Can you share a link to the gift assessment/inventory you mentioned?

I am interested in the survey of the gifts that was mentioned. Where can that be found?
What is the scale for the gifts?
