Today on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “Spiritual Gifts.” Dr. Sam Storms and Alex McFarland joined us. Dr. Sam Storms, the founder and president of Enjoying God Ministries and author of “Understanding Spiritual Gifts,” explained how spiritual gifts are expressions of the Holy Spirit’s work through believers and why every Christian has a role in building up the church. Then Alex McFarland, a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, religion and culture analyst, and a national talk show host, explained why every believer is spiritually gifted and how recognizing and using those gifts helps the church function as God intended. We then turn to our listeners and ask, "If spiritual gifts are given to build up fellow followers, how are you using your gifts right now?" You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
