• Spiritual Gifts Church Rock

    If you could double the attendance at your church in the next 5 years, would you?

    If you could get 80 to 90% of your congregation to volunteer and serve, could you?

    If I showed you how to accomplish all this for free, would you take advantage of the offer?

    A wise man or woman would say, Yes.

    Are you a wise person?

    Why in the world would I offer this for free?

    Money no longer holds me in its grasp since I found out I have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The average person lives for 2 to 5 years. I am in year 8 and wonder how much time remains. I wonder if I can assist you and your church body.

    Over the past few years, I have written a book on Spiritual Gifts, created a podcast, and established an educational website. I am now offering you my 30+ year passion for educating people to find their place in the church and for the church to find its place in the community.

    If there is ever a time the world needs to be in church, it is now. Unfortunately, many people have given up on the church, and the church has lost its voice in this wicked world.

    The key to turning this around is for you, your leadership, and your congregation to discover your spiritual gifts systematically and in an organized manner.

    The POWERFUL Holy Spirit will transform your church. When enough churches in your area get converted, so will the government, businesses, and schools. It will be a revival.

    Don’t believe this? At SpiritualGiftsPodcast.com, you can hear the stories of the fastest-growing church in America, which was also the largest church in America, and how they discovered the POWER of Spiritual Gifts. The testimony of Don Cousins and Bruce Bugsbee, presented in a two-part podcast series, will reveal the hand of God that led their church to grow to over 20,000 people.

    On the website, you can also hear my story. I was ignorant of Spiritual Gifts, and it took 18 people across three states to help me understand the POWER of the Holy Spirit through Spiritual Gifts. God led me to a church in Tarpon Springs. The pastor began behaving irrationally. He had a secret cocaine problem, and he left to get treatment. Consternation at the church followed. Shortly after the pastor left, I became the church administrator (executive pastor). Without a pastor, over 400 people discovered their Spiritual Gifts, and the church grew from 500 to 2,000!

    Spiritual Gifts are not a theory; they are what the Bible teaches us is the way our churches should operate. The SpiritualGiftsPodcast.com offers seven episodes that educate you on how this works — the latter parts of the broadcast focus on the stories.

    One of those stories involves a church in the greater Denver area that started a food ministry, which blossomed into a network of 14 churches operating together to serve the greater Denver area through food, job training, counseling, and other life-changing ministries. It is a fantastic testimony.

    What I’m offering you free of charge is conversation, coaching, instruction, or strategy.

    It all starts with a phone call or email to me.

  • Mike Walker, Serve 6.8 - Spiritual Gifts Ministry: Part 1 of 2
    Jan 30 2025

    In the first of a two-part episode, we present Mike Walker, leader of Serve 6.8 (https://serve68.org/) (https://serve68.org/faq/), a far-reaching spiritual gift-operated ministry located in northern Colorado. Mike had a vision when he was 17 to care for people. That God-led directive, 40 years later, would have him manage a ministry of over 20,000 volunteers through 55 partnered churches serving community problems of people in the tens of thousands.

    Serve 6.8 reach people in Northern Colorado with necessities for today and the gospel for eternity.

    That is the power of the Holy Spirit working through spiritual gifts inside people like you and me. If you accept Christ, his Holy Spirit is in you. That spirit has given you Spiritual Gifts, where you can do something unique and well. That spiritual gift is given to you so you may glorify God (give God positive attention) and bring edification to those around you.
