95. Unleash Your Spiritual Gifts PART FOUR: The Role of Administration, Helps, and Discernment in Business

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to wrap up our month-long series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and their application in the business world. Today, we focus on the often-overlooked gifts that fuel operations—specifically, the gifts of administration, helps and serving, and discernment.
I begin by emphasizing the critical role that structure plays in the success of any business. Many entrepreneurs possess the gifts of influence, sales, vision, and strategy, but they often lack the administrative skills necessary to maintain and grow their ventures. This episode serves as a shout-out to the unsung heroes of the marketplace—administrators and those who keep businesses running smoothly.
Take a moment to reach out to the admins around you and let them know how valuable they are today!

93. Unleash Your Spiritual Gifts PART THREE: Spiritual Gifts for Business Success Sales, Influence, and Leadership

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the fascinating world of spiritual gifts and their profound impact on our professional lives, particularly in the realms of sales, influence, and leadership. As we continue our series on spiritual gifts, I emphasize that these gifts are not just reserved for the ultra-spiritual; they are accessible to everyone and can be harnessed to transform lives through our businesses.
In this episode, I focus on six specific gifts that are particularly relevant to sales and leadership: exhortation (or encouragement), evangelism, teaching, words of knowledge, leadership, and healing. I explore how each of these gifts can manifest in a business context and how they can be leveraged to create a positive impact.

91. Unleash Your Spiritual Gifts PART TWO: The Power of Prophecy, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Faith in Business Strategy

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to continue our exploration of spiritual gifts, specifically focusing on how these gifts can manifest in the realm of business. As we dive into week two of our series, we will unpack the unique gifts of vision and strategy, which are essential for anyone looking to build a kingdom-focused business.
Today, we will specifically discuss four key gifts that aid in vision and strategy: the gift of prophecy, words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and the gift of faith. Throughout the episode, I delve into each gift, starting with the gift of prophecy. I clarify the distinction between having the gift of prophecy and being a prophet, explaining that the former is about hearing God for others and providing direction aligned with His will. I share personal anecdotes to illustrate how this gift can be applied in both ministry and business settings.
I also explore the gift of words of wisdom, which I affectionately refer to as the "wow gift." This gift provides divine insight and guidance in decision-making, helping individuals see solutions that may not be immediately apparent. I share a personal story about how a word of wisdom helped my husband and me make a significant life decision.

89. Unleash Your Spiritual Gifts PART ONE: Using Your Spiritual Gifts To Grow Your Business

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to kick off a month-long series dedicated to exploring spiritual gifts and their application in our businesses. As we dive into July, my heart is to help you bridge the gap between your spiritual life and your business life, encouraging you to see how these two realms can beautifully intersect.
We begin with an overview of spiritual gifts, emphasizing that they are not just for the ultra-spiritual but are accessible to everyone. I encourage you to discover and grow in your gifts, using them to transform lives, including those in your business. I reference key biblical passages—1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4—that outline various spiritual gifts, from words of wisdom and knowledge to leadership roles within the church.
Throughout the episode, I lay down some foundational principles about spiritual gifts. First, we don’t typically choose our gifts, but we can pursue them. I share my personal journey of desiring every spiritual gift and how I’ve seen them manifest in my life. It’s crucial to understand that these gifts are distinct from our natural talents; they are empowered by the Holy Spirit and meant for the good of others, not just for our own gain.
I think you will enjoy the episode! Feel free to share it with a friend who you think needs this encouragement in their life.
