Barcelona's La Sagrada Familia basilica nears completion with the final two towers of the Evangelists receiving their final touches.

In this third episode of our “Planting churches in Iran and Beyond” series, Dara Lynn talks with Keyvan, an Iranian man who came to faith as a teenager and now plays a significant role in helping train church planters in the Iranian church. If you’ve ever wondered how church planting works in the Iran region or how church planters become church planters, this is the episode for you.

In Ephesians 4 we read about the gifts of Christ to the church. So in this session we take a closer look at apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.

Are you feeling unequipped for the task? Seize the opportunities your church provides for you to be equipped. Seek to be discipled. As God grows you, then seek opportunities to disciple others. And pray for the missionaries who have gone out to raise up pastors and churches who will continue the model of Ephesians 4:11–12.

What if the body of Christ could sustain an atmosphere that then established a climate in the Spirit? What if the 5-fold is key to this and the power of collaboration between pastors, evangelists, teachers, prophets, and apostles could fruitfully affect regions? In this Seated Above Podcast, I re-frame the 5-fold with different language and connect them to the 5 layers of the Earth's atmosphere.

The apostle Paul asks the Colossian church to pray for his preaching to be clear. Paul was dependent on the prayers of God's people.

As Pastor Harris continues to walk us through the Spiritual Gifts, in the last episode he completed his teachings of what he refers to as the Motivational Gifts, or in the Greek, these are referred to as the CHARISMATA.  In this episode he will get into the Equipping Gifts, or in the Greek, these are referred to as the DOMATA. Being equipped, as we are all becoming very aware, is one of three things we all need to be successful in any task.  To help with any confusion you may have as we all try to keep these many gifts straight, I will point out that Pastor Harris also uses the term “Ministry Gifts” synonymously with what he calls Equipping Gifts.

Pastor Harris will break down these 11 equipping gifts or ministry gifts in two groups.  There are some he will refer to as “major gifts” and others he will refer to as “minor gifts”.  I love Pastor Haris admits he doesn't really like how he uses the word “minor” here to describe a gift as they are all so crucial.  This just goes to show how his teachings were continually evolving.  I guarantee if he were given a chance to iterate this teaching one more time he would have adjusted that aspect for sure, but given where we are today, I think we can all let that one slide. Now, in this teaching Pastor Harris will specifically discuss the gifts of the apostles, the gift of the prophets, and the gift of the evangelists.

One final note before we dive into this teachings.  Please pay special attention to how Pastor Harris opens this teaching. If you are like me, as you have been going through this study you are wondering what gifts you have.  What is your dominant and subdominant gift?  Well, Pastor Harris walks us through a very simply exercise to understand a little more clearly what our gifting truly is. I hope this helps get you hone in on your specific God given gifts as it did for me.

The term “influencer marketing” is on the lips of many business and nonprofit executives. The social media giant Instagram, for example, hosts famous people who reportedly have over 300 million followers! So, what’s your workplace doing with celebrity or social media influencers and the helpful FRED principle? And just what’s your church doing with its influencer strategy as directed by the Word of God? Join Kevin for a fascinating unfolding of influencer marketing!  // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

God has given evangelists and pastor-teachers as gifts to the church. An evangelist shares the good news about Jesus and the kingdom of God, equips others to share His story, and helps the church to become an evangelistic people. A teacher or pastor-teacher is a shepherd who looks after God's people, guiding, guarding, and instructing the people. Teachers help the church learn to instruct others in the faith as well. God has given all of us influence with someone and desires for us to use that influence to care for them and help them find their place in God's salvation story.

• Yes!  You are in!  This one is for the versed.  For the ones that complain that maybe this podcast isn't Deep enough.  You want a challenge?  This is the deep, deep, deep end.  As for the skeptics, keep your wallet in your pocket.  Here you go...
• Wow!  That is a mic drop moment.  Thank you once again to Francis Chan.  I only know of two preachers on this earth that claim to give 90% of their earnings away...Francis Chan and Rick Warren.  And some of you, including me, question 10%?
• Looking back, I grew up as an 80's kid in suburbia.  A lot like those 80's movies and Netflix Stranger Things, without Hawkins Laboratory and weirdness.  I grew up fearing the Soviets and a nuclear strike.  We practiced sheltering that vs. shootings.  I also grew up fearing TV evangelists.  I still don't trust them.  So many falls within that group.  Where money took center.  The most notorious may be Jim and Tammy Faye Baker.  Okay, pump the brakes.  You know I'm flawed.  We are all flawed.  Just know you are normal if your guard goes up when you see someone that is a full-time preacher riding the tithes and giving into mansions and private jets.  On the flip side, you have a Francis Chan and Rick Warren, also flawed, yet living on 10%.  That's fascinating to me.  If you are versed, if you call yourself a believer this is a looking in the mirror moment. For me too!  What do you truly need to be happy?  If you really believe in Jesus and your versed than you know this exchange that I bet makes most of you uncomfortable...

The Rich Man

• 17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
• 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. 19 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.’[a]”
• 20 “Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.”
• 21 Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
• 22 At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
• 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!” 24 This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard[b] to enter the Kingdom of God. 25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”
• 26 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.
• 27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”

• Confession, I was terrible at giving and savings.  A lethal combination.  If you like dirt, all that direct can be found during the 'Every Marriage is Flawed' series back in the summer of 21.

In Ephesians 4:11, the apostle Paul lists five ministerial offices: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Most modern churches and Christian organizations recognize pastors, teachers, and even evangelists, but are hesitant to use the labels apostle and prophet. Are these two offices no longer relevant to the operation of the church?

In this episode, Dr. David K. Bernard examines each office in the five-fold ministry and explains how these roles function in the modern Apostolic church.

For more on this topic, see Dr. Bernard's book Spiritual Leadership in the Twenty-First Century, available at PentecostalPublishing.com. The United Pentecostal Church International's official position paper on church government is available at UPCI.org.

Over the last few 40 or so episodes we have covered an array of topics but never have we ever turned our attention to the people we are called to lead. That's right everyone, we're picking on you today! Okay, not really picking on you. 

What we wanted to do for the next few episodes is cover the idea of being a worshipper. What is it like from the pews, seats, bleachers, or lawn chairs?  Basically worshipping from the congregation point of view. This week we talk a little about a heart condition that can prevent us from entering into worship when we are with others in fellowship and while in that secret (quiet) place. How are we possibly stealing the glory of God?

But don't worry, this episode is packed full of useless banter as well. Like being models of inconsistency, bad evangelists, bottled baptism water aka. people tea, Sundays, sporty sports in the Lympics, and Dad bods in speed skater attire aka sausages on skates. 

Thanks for joining in on the conversation. As always we hope that you might find something helpful within the mania. Feel free to check out our Facebook group where we truly do model how inconsistent we are at this whole podcasting stuff.

WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THESE IN-THE-MIDDLE JOBS?

DevRel, Advocates, Evangelists, Strategists. We’ve all heard about these job titles, but what do people in those roles actually do? And are they necessary?  

WHAT DO DEVREL, ADVOCATES, EVANGELISTS, TECHNICAL MARKETERS, STRATEGISTS DO, AND DO WE ACTUALLY NEED THEM?

1. Every project, every market, every new technology has both short-term and long-term goals. Companies need to find a way to balance both goals.
2. Successful teams, in every industry, have excellent in-between people. 
3. In-between roles are a great way to learn the business, and build varied career paths. They usually aren’t career paths on their own. Many people don’t understand this. 
4. DevRel / Advocate / Evangelist
5. Technical Marketing
6. Strategy
