As you're, as we're talking about all the different gifts, and we just talked about hospitality

earlier, this can definitely be an issue because if one person is like, well, we're supposed to be

hospitable and you use the gifts against each other, you can't do that in a marriage. Yes, we are

supposed to be hospitable, but we're also supposed to be discerning because God asks us to protect

our marriage and our family first. Yeah. And so I had to learn that.

And I was, my mercy gift outweighed my discernment gift initially.

And then as God grew me in understanding discernment, then, because I did feel bad about

thinking bad, it wasn't me thinking.

It was God giving me discernment about the person.

And so I did have to learn and

grow in that. And I think in all these gifts, we have to learn and grow in them and really stay

connected to the Holy Spirit. But discernment is a very helpful gift. It can keep you out of a lot of

trouble with people and situations. And so I think, yeah, being willing to listen to each other,

hear each other out is super important.

Well, howdy, Mark and Grace Triscoe. Welcome back to the Real Marriage podcast. And thank you,

thank you, thank you for giving us the honor of hopefully making a deposit in your life,

marriage and family. In this season, we're dealing with spiritual gifts. And what

we're wanting to know is what is your divine design? How has God made you? What has he taught you?

What has he imparted to you? What is he entrusted to you and your spouse? And how do you put

your gifts, your talents, your abilities, your callings, your burdens together

to minister to one another and your family and to minister together through your marriage

and family to other marriage and families?
