Primal Fire: Reigniting the Church with the Five Gifts of Jesus
In the earliest days of the church, followers of Jesus embraced five core spiritual gifts—apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers—and the world was set on fire as a result. Over the past two thousand years, however, some of these gifts have been neglected or set aside, and we’ve forgotten what we’re capable of.
Now, in Primal Fire, Neil Cole shares the surprising truth about the five gifts of Jesus—what they mean, how they reflect Christ, and the remarkable power and synergy that comes when we all work together to ignite the church’s full potential and passion.
Whether you’re a church leader who wants to equip your members to grow spiritually, or someone who wants to better understand your own contribution to the body of Christ, it’s time to reignite the Primal Fire and become the gifts that Christ intended for us to be.

“We believe that the term apostle should be understood as a functional gift given by Christ to the church. We believe that the term ‘the twelve’ (or ‘the twelve apostles’) is sufficient to describe the men chosen by Christ to be His witnesses while He lived and served in this world.” (source)
“The catalyst for the coming outbreak of spiritual fire can be found in five ‘smoldering embers’ that Christ Himself embedded in the DNA of the church from the very beginning.” (source)
“Christ in us’ and restore to practice the incomparable power of all five APEST gifts working together.” (source)
