Worship: The Foundation for Spirit-Filled Ministry

In Season 3, Episode 4 of The Five Gifts Podcast, Bruce Ritter and Charles Russell examine why worship stands at the center of Christian life, leadership, and mission. Rooted in the theology of Ephesians, this episode traces God’s redemptive purpose from Genesis to the early church, showing how worship shapes identity, fuels evangelism, and forms resilient, Spirit-empowered communities. Listeners will gain clarity on the relationship between worship, sanctification, and empowerment, and discover why worship is not merely an expression—but the formative engine that prepares the church to live faithfully, love sacrificially, and engage spiritual warfare with confidence in Christ.
