Five-fold spirituality is concerned with being released into the role you were created for.
It has to do with ‘whole-life’ discipling: that role being expressed through your contribution to society, not (just, or even first and foremost) your service to the Sunday service...It is part of the church being equipped to be the agents through which God changes the world, through whom God’s reign is exercised.
An accountant for Christ, a doctor for Christ, a parent for Christ, unemployed for Christ...
An apostle will parent differently to a pastor. And that’s okay: you can’t be all things to your child, but you can trust God for your children.
An apostle will be an accountant differently to an evangelist. One might do the audits for company after company; the other might network and connect. A teacher might stay in the same firm for a long time, and train up accountants...
How have you been made?
How can the church support you in that role?
