Spiritual Gifts: Are You the Friend People Always Go To? | Ep. 21
Are you the friend people always go to when they need help understanding Scripture—or when they need someone to remind them what’s true?
You may be seeing the Holy Spirit at work through the spiritual gifts of teaching or encouragement/exhortation.
In this episode, Hannah and Kalen continue our Season 2 conversation series, Made for More Than Yourself, exploring how God uniquely gifts His people to strengthen His Church and build His Kingdom.
We’re looking at two gifts that often show up in our everyday conversations with other believers:
Teaching helps people understand God’s truth clearly in a way that changes them.
Encouragement / Exhortation strengthens, comforts, and calls people closer to Jesus—especially when life gets difficult.
Through Peter, Ezra and the Levites, Barnabas, Caleb, and ultimately Jesus Himself, we’ll explore what these gifts actually look like in Scripture, how you might recognize them in yourself or someone else, and why biblical encouragement sometimes means comforting someone—and sometimes means lovingly challenging them.
Because sometimes the Holy Spirit uses a faithful conversation to make Scripture clearer. And sometimes He uses one person to remind another of what is true when fear feels louder than faith.
We were made for more than ourselves.
Scriptures: Acts 2:14–37; Nehemiah 8:1–9; Luke 24:18–27; Acts 11:22–26; Numbers 14:1–9; Joshua 1:9; John 16:16–22, 33

From Striving to Abiding: Hannah's Testimony | Ep. 20
What happens when following Jesus feels more like striving for perfection than enjoying His Presence?
Growing up as missionary kid overseas, Hannah knew all about Christianity. But beneath the surface, she was trapped in legalism, perfectionism, and the exhausting belief that she would never be good enough.
Then Jesus began transforming her life in ways she could never have imagined.
In this first testimony episode of Season 2, Hannah shares how Jesus miraculously physically healed her---and how He brought an even deeper freedom to her heart.
Through His love, Hannah discovered that she didn't have to earn what Jesus had already freely given. She could stop striving to measure up and begin abiding with Him, delighting in His love, and enjoying His Presence ☀️
Today, Hannah pours that same love of Christ into the lives of other young women, discipling them and helping them discover the joy of walking with Jesus.
If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough, praying enough, studying the Bible enough, or simply being enough for God---then this conversation is for you. You weren't created to spend your life striving for a love you could never earn. You are invited to surrender and abide in the One Who already loves you 💕
💬 Let's talk! Have you ever struggled with feeling like you have to earn God's love? What has Jesus taught you about resting in Him? We'd love to hear your story in the comments!

Spiritual Gifts: How Does God Actually Use Ordinary People? | Ep. 19
Welcome back to Season 2 of Flower & Flame! 🌸🔥
In this season, we’re exploring what it means to be “Made for More Than Yourself”—because God didn’t create us to walk through life disconnected from His purposes or from one another. He has uniquely wired every believer, filled us with His Spirit, and invited us to partner with Him in building His Kingdom.
And that brings us to a question we’re exploring in today’s Season 2 premiere:
What exactly are spiritual gifts—and how does God actually use ordinary people like us?
Before we can understand spiritual gifts, we first have to understand something bigger: God’s people are His temple. From the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle and Temple, Scripture reveals a pattern of God dwelling with His people and inviting them to serve alongside Him. Through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that reality takes on an incredible new dimension—we are now His spiritual temple and His royal priesthood.
So what does that have to do with spiritual gifts?
Everything.
In this episode, we unpack what spiritual gifts actually are, how they differ from natural talents and personality traits, why God gives believers different gifts, and how those differences are ultimately meant to unite and strengthen the Church—not divide us.
We’ll also walk through the 15 spiritual gifts explicitly identified in Scripture and talk about how the diversity of these gifts reflects the multifaceted character of the God Who gives them all.
Because your spiritual gift isn’t about making you more impressive.
It’s about making the body of Christ stronger.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why understanding God’s people as His temple helps us understand spiritual gifts
What Eden, the Old Testament priesthood, and the Church have in common
What it means to be a royal priest and partner with God
What a spiritual gift actually is
How spiritual gifts differ from talents and personality types
The 15 spiritual gifts explicitly listed in Scripture
Four categories of spiritual gifts: seeking, manifestation, shepherding, and ministering
Why God gives different gifts to different people
How the diversity of spiritual gifts reveals different facets of God’s character
Why spiritual gifts are ultimately meant to build up and unify the Church
What it means to live as someone who is made for more than yourself
Scriptures mentioned:
Genesis 2:8, 15, 18–22 Numbers 3:5–13 1 Peter 2:5, 9 Romans 12:3–8 1 Corinthians 12:4–11 1 Corinthians 12:12–31 1 Corinthians 12:11 Ephesians 4:4–8
Friend, you were never meant to do this alone. God has uniquely equipped His people to serve Him together—and there is a beautiful purpose for you within His Church.
Root yourself deep in God’s Word, let the Holy Spirit ignite and lead you, and you’ll be able to grow and thrive wherever He plants you. 🌸🔥
