How Do I Discern What Spiritual Gifts I Have?

with Michael Easley
Q: Recently a young man in our Men’s Bible Study Group asked a good and relevant question — “How do I discern or determine what spiritual gifts I have”?

How Do I Discern What Spiritual Gifts I Have?

Recently a young man in our Men’s Bible Study Group asked a good and relevant question. “How do I discern or determine what spiritual gift(s) I have”?  I supplied him with one of my historic books from 40 years ago but that got me wondering if inContext has discussed this issue in past podcasts or — if not, could Dr. E discuss and recommend a recent book or article, or even a spiritual assessment survey, for your audience’s information. I welcome your discussion on Spiritual Gifts, whether believers can have more than one, whether some are no longer active in the church and whether some are meant only for men and exclude women?

Excerpt From The Answer

“The Holy Spirit is working in our lives to transform us into the image of Christ. One of the outworkings of these gifts is how we help/serve the common good. While it is very helpful to understand our gifts, sometimes, it seems pretty clear.  If a person is good at leading, teaching, serving, giving/generosity, hospitality… it would follow that after we come to Christ, are indwelt by His Spirit, we would then do well – for the common good – to use those gifts, strengths, and abilities.”
