Author: Hal Hester

Why are some Christians so afraid of the Holy Spirit?

Title: Taking Down the Religious Roadblocks

Author: Hal Hester

Scripture Reference: Philippians 3.1-21

Description: Hindsight is always perfect but in the middle of making history we often do not see our biases, the roadblocks that hinder us and others on our way toward joy. Even when we recognize the roadblocks often times they seem like wisdom, rather than blockades, but these extra-biblical blockades can actually keep us from experiencing what God has for us and others.
