Are those you lead informed or irritated when the subject of spiritual gifts is introduced?
I will never forget in 1998 when I went on staff at Council Road Baptist Church, outside Oklahoma City, as the Associate Pastor of Ministry Development the reaction from many of our members to the subject of spiritual gifts. I had been brought on staff to help shut the back door of Council Road by getting those who were members of the church involved in ministry. So, I designed a survey to help me understand what our members knew about spiritual gifts and specifically their own spiritual gifts. I was shocked at how irritated and yes even angry many were at just asking them to complete a 2–3 minute survey.
With a little investigation into their irritation I found that Council Road, like many churches have used spiritual gift assessments with members only to leave them uninformed beyond taking the spiritual gift assessment. Almost 25 years later I have seen countless individuals resist spiritual gift assessments for many reasons, including being given the impression that a spiritual gift assessment is the end all way to discover your spiritual gifts. And since 1998 I have spent thousands upon thousands of hours helping God’s people not be uninformed regarding their spiritual gifts as Paul commands us in I Corinthians 12:1.
