Episode notes
Spirit is Like Apple Pay
- During a road trip, Bryan realized he left his wallet yet could pay using Apple Pay on his phone.
- Similarly, the Holy Spirit helps us access God's resources already available to us.
Presence vs. Power of Spirit
- Believers always have the Holy Spirit's presence but can lose His power.
- Being filled means living a Spirit-controlled life, not merely possessing the Spirit within.
