In a recent episode, I sat down with Neil Cole, a seasoned church planter and author, to explore the fivefold ministry gifts from Ephesians 4. Neil shared his journey from traditional pastoral work to a more organic approach to church planting and discipleship. We discussed how apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers play unique but essential roles in building up the church. When these gifts work together, they create a dynamic, thriving community—even though collaboration can sometimes create tension.
