Dr. Stettheimer has been studying the Motivational Gifts for forty years. Over the course of his professional career, he has written many booklets for clients and held seminars on the Gifts. Over the past seven years, the Lord began drawing his attention and interest to a connection to the Gifts during the time of growth in the womb.
Dr. Stettheimer has his clients' complete intake forms, which include information about their background and their family relationships. About twenty years ago, he began to also include a Motivational Gift test as a part of the intake forms. This test gave him invaluable information as he began to work with individuals or multiple family members. Seeing how the Lord has worked in his own life and in his work with individuals and families, this has made what the Lord has taught him about the Gifts a joy to share.
As technology has continued to advance and more research has been done using sonograms, many more things that take place in the womb have come to light. Merging what he learned about the Gifts with the reality of what the Lord instills at conception has been a delight to study.
In Genesis, we learn about Jacob and Esau during their prenatal period, highlighting the Lord's presence and work from the very beginning. Additionally, we learn about God's work of forming us in the womb from King David in Psalms.
