Tricia asks a heartfelt question about the role of pastors and spiritual gifts in church. Shouldn’t pastors be the first to lead in gifts like prophecy or tongues if they’re praying for the Spirit to move? Pastor Mike explains that while pastors should absolutely lead in honoring and applying the Word of God, not every gift is given to every person, and many miraculous signs served a unique purpose in the early church. With the Bible now complete, the focus of spiritual leadership is to faithfully preach and teach the Word—the very book the Holy Spirit authored. This balanced response explores the distinction between biblical order, spiritual hunger, and misdirected expectations about the supernatural in today’s church.
