5FF29- What Does ‘The Office Of…’ Really Mean—And What Does That Mean for the Saints? - 5 Fold Forum

In this episode of The Five Fold Forum, titled “What Does ‘The Office Of…’ Really Mean—And What Does That Mean for the Saints?”, Niccie Kliegl and Carrie Hurley break down the often-misunderstood term “the office of” as it relates to the fivefold ministry: apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. They clarify that holding an "office" is not about superiority or title, but about mature function, responsibility, and spiritual authority bestowed by God to equip the Body of Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and other Scriptures, they emphasize that while all believers have gifts, those called to an office demonstrate consistent fruit, character, and long-term commitment to edifying the church. The hosts stress the difference between being gifted in an area and walking in the office of that calling, which carries a burden of spiritual leadership, accountability, and equipping others. They warn against counterfeit titles and encourage listeners to seek God's affirmation over man's. The episode closes with a call to humility, discernment, and spiritual growth, urging believers to steward their gifts responsibly and embrace the journey toward maturity rather than chasing titles.
