Episode notes
Holy Spirit As Person Within The Trinity
- The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force but the third person of the Trinity, co-equal and co-eternal with Father and Son.
- Bishops Leah Hitty Gregory and Mike Lowry emphasize orthodox Trinitarian faith over vague or diminished views of the Spirit.
Invite The Holy Spirit Intentionally
- Invite and welcome the Holy Spirit deliberately; the Spirit often moves where invited.
- Bishop Leah recounts annual conference awakenings and global Methodist gatherings where openness led to powerful Spirit-led renewal.
Anchor Spirit Experience In Scripture
- The Spirit's work must be anchored in Scripture and the church's living tradition to avoid purely subjective claims.
- Mike Lowry warns that genuine Spirit-led guidance will not contradict Scripture and is the source of Scripture itself.
