In this episode of What Do You Wanna Know?, Pastor David Martin and Venus Griffith talk about the gifts of the Spirit - what the Bible actually teaches, why they exist, and how they are meant to strengthen the church rather than divide it.

They discuss the purpose behind spiritual gifts, the importance of love and order in how they’re used, and why misunderstanding or fear has caused many believers to either overemphasize or completely ignore this part of Scripture.

If you’ve ever wondered how spiritual gifts work today, or how to approach this topic without confusion or pressure, this conversation provides a clear and grounded starting point.
