In this episode of Inverted, PJ and Christi dive deep into the powerful topic of spiritual gifts—what they are, how they function, and why they matter in your walk with God. Sparked by a recent Q&A session at TROC, this conversation explores how each person is uniquely designed for God’s purpose and how embracing your gifts leads to confidence in faith.

From prophecy to faith, from leadership to mercy—every gift has a role in glorifying God and serving others. But how do you know what your gift is? Can you have more than one? And are all the gifts still active today? PJ and Christi tackle these big questions and share real-life experiences of seeing God move in miraculous ways.
