Gifted for More
A New Framework for Equipping Christians to Share Their Abilities and Skills in Everyday Life
Encouraging people to explore, strengthen and share their gifts is a deeply spiritual endeavor—one that churches and faith leaders are primed to support. Yet Barna Group research suggests that pastors and the congregations they lead often have a narrow understanding of what gifts look like, how they grow and where they can be used. Gifted for More provides crucial research to help today’s Church flourish and grow and help Christians understand and use their gifts well—inside and outside of church walls.
