206 Coffee Talks: Ephesians 4 Gifts Series - Why Weaknesses Matter

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 episode we discuss the necessity of balancing strengths and weaknesses, and the role of community in shaping one's gifts. The conversation emphasizes the need for personal growth and maturity in the context of these gifts, as well as the impact of one's heart and past experiences on their expression of these gifts.

Grab some coffee, and chat with us.
