The Gift of Teacher: Why the Church Still Desperately Needs It

In a world driven by emotions and platforms, the gift of teacher is more vital than ever.

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Mattera explores the Ephesians 4:11 role of the teacher—what it is, what it’s not, and why it’s essential for a healthy, biblically grounded Church. True teachers don’t just pass on information—they shape worldviews, defend sound doctrine, and equip believers to walk in truth.

📖 In this episode:     •    The difference between spiritual teachers and natural instructors     •    Why the teaching gift must operate alongside the apostolic and prophetic     •    The danger of hype-filled preaching without theological depth     •    How the teacher’s role preserves truth in an age of deception

If the Church is going to stand in this hour, it must be rooted in truth—and that means restoring the teacher’s voice.
