Did you know that, in the Bible, Jesus said it would be "better for us" for Him to leave earth so that we can receive the Holy Spirit? It's true!

It’s no secret that I’ve experienced some challenges in my life over the last 10 years—my marriage went through a very dark season, I battled breast cancer, one of our children has severe mental health challenges, the ministry I led for 24 years closed its doors, and my father, who I was very close with, passed away. I can’t imagine going through all that without God leading, guiding, and comforting me through the person of the Holy Spirit.

As I have helped and counseled others through their own difficult circumstances, it’s become evident to me that not everyone understands the work of the Holy Spirit. So I am welcoming a very special guest on today’s episode to help us better understand who the Holy Spirit is.

Max Lucado is a best-selling, inspirational author with more than 145 million copies of his books sold. (How crazy is that!?) He also is the teaching minister of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. His latest book, Help Is Here: Finding Fresh Strength and Purpose in the Power of the Holy Spirit, provides some great insight into our topic today.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The role of the Holy Spirit and how that relates to who God is overall
• Where we should turn when feeling stressed and out of control
• What the Holy Spirit’s role is in our lives
• The two primary ways to learn from the Holy Spirit

I hope this episode encourages you today!
