Charism discernment is part of that – not as a personality exercise, but as a way of recognizing how the Holy Spirit is working through a person for others. <span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Kristin doesn’t isolate charisms from mission. She helps leaders see where their gifts are showing up in real relationships and real moments of evangelization – where fruit is either happening or it isn’t. <span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Her charisms of discernment, wisdom, and teaching shape the way she coaches. She notices patterns quickly, asks direct questions, and helps people name what is actually bearing fruit without overriding their process. <span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">She works both one-on-one and with leadership teams and ministry groups, helping them recognize the charisms present in the room and where misalignment or overfunctioning is limiting fruit. The goal isn’t just awareness, but realignment – placing people where their gifts actually serve the mission.&nbsp; Kristin works especially well with leaders who feel stuck or stretched thin – those who sense there’s more happening but don’t yet have language for it. <span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">If you’re ready to stop guessing at your gifts and start recognizing where the Holy Spirit is already at work, this will bring clarity. And possibly expose a few things you’ve been carrying that were never actually yours.<h2 id="f8ad11f1-2144-4d83-8c6a-ad56b3792bb6" data-toc-id="f8ad11f1-2144-4d83-8c6a-ad56b3792bb6" style="font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Get in touch with Kristin:</h2><span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Email:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="mailto:kristin.bird@burningheartsdisciples.org"><span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">kristin.bird@burningheartsdisciples.org</a><span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Website:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://burningheartsdisciples.org/"><span style="color: rgb(24, 50, 71); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">https://burningheartsdisciples.org/</a>
