| 0:00.0 | Life, audio. |
| 0:13.3 | As a believer, as a Christian, we need to know what the Lord expects of us once we say |
| 0:21.4 | yes. Once you accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, we have to know what the next |
| 0:30.3 | step is. What is it that God wants us to do? How does he want us to live? What are we supposed to |
| 0:37.8 | be engaged in? And for all of us, we must discover our spiritual gifts and know where to exercise those |
| 0:47.0 | gifts. Hello, this is Percius Poku, host of the Free Sound Reasoning Podcast. I'm also the President |
| 1:02.8 | of Sound Reasoning Ministries which provides training on how to articulate and defend the basic |
| 1:08.7 | tennis of Christianity. I would love to invite you to check out our free podcast for inspiration |
| 1:14.4 | as well as encouragement. Here's an exclusive preview from one of my latest episodes. |
| 1:29.2 | The Bible is clear. God dispenses spiritual gifts to the body and those gifts are to edify the |
| 1:40.0 | body to build up the body, to be a blessing to the body. We are interconnected as believers. |
| 1:48.4 | And so when we say we are Christian, it's not enough just to use it as an adjective, but |
| 1:54.8 | being a Christian must also become a verb. Nike says to do it. And in essence, that's what being |
| 2:05.3 | a follower of Jesus Christ is all about. It's not about lip service, it's about doing it. And so |
| 2:12.8 | in working with many Christians at various churches, one of the things that many pastors share |
| 2:21.2 | with me is the lack of understanding among parishioners about their purpose. So as a Christian, |
| 2:31.5 | are we clear on what God is asking us to do? Are we clear on what he wants us to be engaged in? |
| 2:40.3 | Are we excited? Are we interested about finding out God's will for our lives as a relates to ministry? |
| 2:50.2 | So Christianity is not just about articulating or using the identification of a Christian, |
| 2:59.3 | but rather the functionality of a Christian is just as important. It's one thing to say I'm a Christian, |
| 3:06.2 | but it's a whole different thing to say that I'm a Christian who is collaborating with Jesus Christ |
| 3:14.1 | as the Bible gives us that image. We are co-partners with Jesus Christ as a relates to ministry. |
