Podcast: Light on Life Season Eleven Episode Thirty

Today, our topic of discussion revolves around education, particularly a remarkable kind known as Holy Spirit Education. Education is a highly valued aspect in society, sought after by parents for their children and employers for their employees. However, today we will delve into the kind of learning that comes only from the Spirit of God. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the incredible journey of Francis Asbury, who started as a humble peasant from Staffordshire and, at the age of eighteen, became a Methodist local preacher. At twenty-one, he was appointed as an itinerant evangelist by John Wesley. For forty-five years, he tirelessly worked in America, traveling around five thousand miles each year on horseback, often earning less than 20 dollars annually. Despite his hardships, he successfully converted many, established Methodist class meetings and societies, and eventually founded the Methodist Episcopal Church, which now boasts over five million members. Asbury’s dedication to education was evident in his daily routine, waking up at four in the morning to teach himself Latin, Hebrew, and Greek, and committing to reading at least one hundred pages of literature every day. 1 While impressive, this type of education, focused on language and literature, is not what Jesus referred to when discussing the Holy Spirit. As one writer aptly stated, “You can lead a man up to the university, but you can’t make him think.” 2 The education provided by the Holy Spirit, however, will undoubtedly stimulate deep thought and introspection. He will make you think! Today, we will explore Why You Should Highly Value Holy Spirit Education. Join us on this week’s episode of Light on Life.
