Do you have questions about God, the Bible, or Christianity? Do you want to be more like Jesus, but you don’t know where to start? That’s why Finchwood exists: following Jesus means we have to actually have those conversations, ask bold questions, and embark on the lifelong journey to discover what God is like. Every 2nd and 4th Friday, this podcast covers a subject that’s essential to your spiritual development as a disciple of Jesus. If that sounds interesting, start by listen to our first episode, “Welcome to Finchwood!” and feel free to drop us a line... especially if you have a topic you’d like to see covered (no topic is out of bounds).

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NIV)

God made each of us for a unique and wonderful purpose, and He's equipped us to step into those purposes and truly enjoy them. Unfortunately most of us don't know what we're made for! In this episode of the Finchwood Discipleship Podcast, we take a look at the gifts God gives us, along with some practical advice on putting them into practice.
Chapters:
00:00 - Gifted to Serve One Another
06:47 - Identifying Your Gifts
15:51 - Putting Your Gifts Into Practice
"God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:10-11a (NLT)
"Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you." 1 Corinthians 14:26 (NLT)
