Unpacking Spiritual Gifts with Dr. Sam Storms and the Impact of Smaller Churches with Karl Vaters

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Church” with a discussion about spiritual gifts with Dr. Sam Storms. Dr. Storms is the founder and president of Enjoying God Ministries and serves on the Council of the Gospel Coalition. He is also the Executive Director of the Convergence Church Network. He has also authored several books, including “Understanding Spiritual Gifts: A Comprehensive Guide.” We then had Karl Vaters join us to discuss the spiritual impact of smaller churches. Karl has served in a small church ministry for over 40 years and has gained hands-on pastoral experience. He also hosts a biweekly podcast, The Church Lobby: Conversations on Faith and Ministry. He has also written several books, including “Small Church Essentials.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
