Episode 2 | Bible Speak: Controversial Topics Of The Holy Spirit?

Hosted by: Pastor Steve Hannett

Featuring: Yari Aleman, Michael Hernandez, Pastor Carlos Reyes, and Steve Paul

EPISODE SUMMARY

Millions of believers worldwide are asking the same critical questions: Who exactly is the Holy Spirit? What does He actually do in my life? And how do I move from intellectual agreement to genuine supernatural power? The answers you find will either liberate you into the fullness of Christ's promise or leave you settling for a Christianity far smaller than God intended.

Pastor Steve and a team of diverse believers unpack three transformative truths from Scripture: the Holy Spirit is God Himself—not a force or feeling, but a Person dwelling within you; His ministry is to teach, comfort, guide, and empower believers into all truth; and His power is available to anyone who has repented and surrendered to Christ's Lordship.
