207 Coffee Talks: Ephesians 4 Gifts Series - Apostolic + Prophetic Wounds

Once a week, we grab a cup of coffee and discuss the world of missional entrepreneurship.

In this series we're talking through the "gifts of ascension." These 5 gfits help us understand leadership, teams, and ministry through the lens of Jesus.

In this conversation, we explore the intersection of leadership, spiritual gifts, and personal wounds. We discuss how wounds can warp the expression of gifts, the importance of character in leadership, and the necessity of healing and forgiveness. Today's episode focuses on the apostolic and prophetic gifts.

Grab some coffee, and chat with us.
