This is part 2 of Michelle’s discussion with Debbie Richens on the painful issue of parental alienation and estrangement.

ABOUT THE EPISODE

In this episode of The Christian Wellbeing Show, host Michelle and co-host Stuart delve into part two of their discussion on spiritual gifts.

They revisit key points from the previous episode, including the need for a broader understanding of spiritual gifts and addressing common hindrances.

The episode explores alternative terms for traditional spiritual gifts listed in Ephesians 4 and Romans 12, such as viewing an apostolic gift as visionary/entrepreneurial, a prophetic gift as a consultancy skill, and an evangelistic gift as a communication ability.

They take a refreshing, new and exciting look at the gifts of pastor, teacher, exhorter and administrator. They empower people to utilise their gifts creatively outside the church setting, and highlight the idea that all vocations can glorify God.

By expanding vocabulary and understanding, listeners are encouraged to identify and use their unique gifts in diverse areas of life, enhancing both personal wellbeing and broader societal impact.
