There I give the example (#2) of someone who sounds similar to you. What I explained to her is that both teaching and exhortation can be used in teaching. People with the gift of teaching will tend to be more systematic in their approach whereas people with the gift of exhortation will tend be more application-oriented in their approach. People with the gift of teaching will tend to enjoy a diligent and thorough study whereas the person with the gift of exhortation will tend to push through the study and focus on the process of putting the lesson together. Teaching can be a platform for using the gift of exhortation, much like singing or counseling can be a platform for using the gift of exhortation. You do not need the gift of teaching to be a good Bible teacher. --- The test Betsy mentioned is at: http://mintools.com/spiritual-gifts-test.htm Let me refer you to a previous post on the gift of exhortation:
