					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<body><div class="mailmunch-forms-before-post" style="display: none !important;"></div><p></p>In today’s video, I interview Dr. Sam Storms from Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma. I ask him about how he transitioned his previous church from being a cessationist church to one that practices all of the spiritual gifts. He also shares advice for other church leaders who seek to encourage their church to engage the spiritual gifts.
<p>If you happen to be in the Oklahoma area, you might want to check out the <a href="https://www.convergenceconference.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Convergence Conference</a> coming up in September at Bridgeway Church. Join Sam Storms, Christine Caine, Matt Chandler, Jack Deere, Andrew Wilson, and Michael Brown as they explore the theme “The God Who Heals.”</p>
<p>Now, for the interview…</p>

<p>I also recently did my own interview where <a href="http://pneumareview.com/manifestations-and-gifts-of-the-spirit-an-interview-with-andrew-gabriel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">I answered some of the same questions</a>, particularly from the bottom of page 2 – page 3 of the interview.</p>
