In this episode of Grace at the Fray, Jim is joined by Barbara Bancroft, who, along with her husband Josiah, has been a part of Serge since its earliest days. Together, they delve into what it means to follow the Spirit and maintain ongoing fellowship with Him in our daily lives. By doing so, we experience the fullness of what Jesus Christ has achieved for us, no matter our emotional or circumstantial state.

In this episode, they discuss...

• How Seeing Our Sin Opens the Door to Fellowship with the Spirit [12:10]
• Assuming the Spirit is Present and Active in Our Lives [17:40]
• How the Spirit's Interruptions Build Humility in Our Hearts [22:25]
• The Journey to Confidence in Christ’s Righteousness and Love [28:12]
• Belief and Expectation vs. My Agenda for the Spirit [39:41]

Jim and Barbara's conversation serves as a reminder that our sins are covered, and we stand in Christ's righteousness as God's beloved children, making Him always willing to answer our prayers to experience His love more profoundly and fill us up with His presence every single day.
