We keep hearing this phrase in Pentecostal services: “let’s entertain the presence of the Lord”… but what does that actually mean? In this LIVE episode, we break down portions of the IBC Music Fest 2026, and expose the theology behind this kind of language. Is God’s presence something we have to create, sustain, or “not lose”… or is that an Old Covenant idea creeping into New Covenant worship? We’ll walk through what Scripture actually says about God’s presence, how emotional worship environments reinforce this belief, and why this teaching quietly puts pressure back on you. If you’ve ever felt like it was your job to “entertain” God or His presence, join us for some clarity, and a whole lot of relief.
Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? - 1 Corinthians 3:16 ESV
