Gifted Is Not the Same as Grounded is a lesson for those who carry calling, influence, and responsibility and understand that anointing alone is not enough.

In this apostolic teaching space, Dr. Delisa Rodgers addresses a truth many leaders learn too late: spiritual gifts are given by grace, but spiritual grounding is built through obedience, character, and intimacy with God. Scripture reminds us that “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Romans 11:29), yet Jesus Himself warned that power can operate without depth (Matthew 7:22–23).

This lesson confronts the gap between ability and maturity, movement and formation, anointing and anchoring. Through biblical teaching, apostolic insight, and sober leadership wisdom, listeners are challenged to examine not just what they can do for God, but what their foundation can sustain.

Dr. Delisa calls leaders back to being “rooted and grounded” (Ephesians 3:17), built on the Rock and not the applause, bearing fruit that lasts beyond seasons of visibility (Galatians 5:22–23).

This lesson is for:

Leaders who want longevity, not burnout

Apostolic voices who value character as much as calling

Gifted believers who are ready to become grounded stewards

Those building ministries, movements, and lives that must endure storms

Because in the Kingdom, gifts may open doors, but grounding determines whether you remain.

“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
