About this listen

Beyond Ignorance: A Fresh Look at 1 Corinthians 12 In Season 3, Episode 5 of The Five Gifts Podcast, Bruce Ritter and Dr. Charles Russell explore 1 Corinthians 12:1–11through a Pentecostal–Charismatic lens focused on practical theology for local church leaders. Paul’s concern in Corinth wasn’t a lack of spiritual activity—it was spiritual ignorance. Many believers carried assumptions from pagan worship into Christian gatherings, confusing intensity with maturity and manifestations with formation. This episode reframes spiritual gifts as Spirit-enabled service under the lordship of Christ, not ecstatic experiences detached from character, community, and discernment. The conversation clarifies how gifts function incarnationally, why the Trinity is the source of all ministry, and how leaders can cultivate healthy environments where gifts are exercised for the common good. If you lead a Spirit-filled church and want both power and order, this episode will challenge, equip, and refocus your ministry.
