In this powerful kickoff to Season 8 of The Collected Podcast, Jenny Randle returns to share the deeply personal journey behind her latest book—The Promised Presence: An Introduction to Holy Spirit’s Power and Authority— a journey that began in theological study but became a raw walk of faith through health struggles and unanswered questions. As she explored miracles in Luke and Acts, she contended for her own, discovering that hope is not found in tidy endings but in God's unwavering presence. From sleepless nights to bathroom-floor prayers, Jenny vulnerably recounts how the Holy Spirit reshaped her thinking, rooted her heart in Christ, and taught her to wait well. This episode unpacks the beauty of Listening Prayer, the honest surrender in suffering, and the truth that the greatest miracle may simply be knowing we’re not alone when we are in Christ. 

Be sure to check out Jenny's first time on the show in S5E23!

Understanding who God is and who we are in Him are vital parts of walking in freedom and remaining rooting in who we are created to be. This week we are learning about Jehovah Tsidkenu– The Lord Our Righteousness. When God shares this name in Jeremiah 23, the Israelites are in the midst of utter destruction, and yet God provides the hope of a coming savior. Just as the Israelites were helpless to save themselves from captivity in Babylon, so are we unable to save ourselves from our own sin and depravity. God is a righteous God, therefore He demands righteousness from his subjects. Yet, in his great grace and mercy, he provided a way for us to be righteous. The beauty and power of this name is that the perfect righteousness of Jesus is ours, if we only chose to accept it.
