Primal Fire: The Five Ascension Gifts

Jesus gave five distinct equipping gifts to the church in Ephesians 4 to bring the whole body to maturity: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds, and Teachers. Cole argues that reducing church leadership to a single Pastor-Teacher creates an anemic, inward-focused institution. A reader learns to identify, celebrate, and deploy all five primal callings, releasing pioneering dreamers and prophetic voices alongside pastoral carers to establish a balanced, movemental church culture.
