What does the Bible say about the person and work of the Holy Spirit? What if the way you think about the Holy Spirit is quietly shrinking your relationship with God? Most of us have been shaped by a culture that wants to take everything apart; to understand the mechanics, extract maximum value, and move on. But what happens when we bring that mindset to the Holy Spirit? When He becomes a force to harness rather than a divine person to know?In John 14, Jesus doesn't introduce the Spirit as a power source. He introduces him as another Helper; the same kind as Jesus Himself. Wes and Marcus dig into what it actually means that the Holy Spirit is a he, not an it; a divine person, not an impersonal force. And they wrestle with why that distinction changes everything: how we pray, how we read Scripture, how we live together as a church, and what the Spirit is actually up to in the world.
