In this episode of the podcast, Jim Putman and Lance Wigton talk about how we determine who we should be pouring in to as church leaders - they discuss the fact that everyone is of equal value but everyone has different giftings or talents. We need to challenge people to use their gifts and abilities in the body of Christ.

- Teaching educates

- Leading takes someone somewhere

- It is in the doing that we experience what God built us for

- Being a servant means wherever I go I'm becoming more and more like Jesus.

- The context of learning becomes so much greater when there is action involved.

- We have to spend time with people to see who they are and how God has gifted them.

We are saved from something for something - our mess becomes our message - We all have experiences that God has redeemed us in that help make us fit into certain place to use our gifts. Bridging the gap that God has helped fill in our lives to show other people with the same gaps realize that God can use them too.

When we are raising up leaders we need to remember that we aren't cleaning them up and hiding their struggles - we want you to understand that God is the hero who uses our brokenness to show his glory.
