"Everyone has strengths, and these strengths are good. They can be used selfishly, but they are also gifts from God that are expressed in the way we serve one another." (90)
"The church is an ideal venue to see the talents and gifts of others, because most gifts emerge in the context of serving people." (91)
Notice pleasures and preferences - even hobbies
"If they enjoy something we find uninteresting? Out of respect, we believe they enjoy that something for a good reason, so we will ask a few more questions." (91)

Notice spiritual vitality.
