The power of introverts - use them in your team or nonprofit
Susan Cain argues that introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated. Our world often prizes extroverts – but Susan makes a case for the quiet and contemplative. Often, introverts are excellent strategics, planners, leaders – and evangelists - because they may be good at listening.

Not recognizing our talent in Christian ministry
While it is scarily true that we don't often recognize our own faults, and "we judge ourselves by our intentions, and others by their actions", it can also happen that we may not recognize our own talents either.

Gift from God - a Christian perspective
Paul says that he wishes all men could be like him, but he realizes that God has gifted each person uniquely. Our gifts from God are individual and unique.

Talents in the Bible: Matthew 25:14-30
In the "parable of the talents," we get an idea of what God expects us to do here on earth. We're all given talents, some great and some small--but whether your talent is epic or miniscule, we glorify God when we use it to further his kingdom. God isn't rating His followers based on the number of converts they win over or the number of church pews they fill; He's interested in the passion with which we use whatever gifts he has given us.
