When weakness is a portal to power

Have you ever noticed that sometimes it’s helpful to see things from both sides? A dual perspective can bring a more complete understanding and we propose this is true for spiritual gifts.

Strengths and weaknesses

So in this post we publish a framework that describes the list of gifts found in the Bible in the book of Romans chapter 12. These gifts are sometimes referred to as motivational gifts or foundation gifts.

A little like it can be helpful to understand what a word means by looking at it’s opposite (or antonym), this method of teaching describes each gift in terms of both it’s strengths and also it’s potential weaknesses.

For the sake of continuity, we’ve reproduced the slides referred to at our HiveHub night on March 18th, 2023.

We hope it helps.
