About this episode

The episode explores the implications of Pentecost on spiritual authority and leadership.

On Pentecost, the Spirit was given to all; ordinary people spoke with authority. The presence of God was no longer limited to prophets, priests, or kings. But when anyone can speak for God, who is actually in charge? And if we’re all listening to the same Spirit, why do we so often come to different conclusions? As we begin our new series, Authority Issues: The Harm and Hope of Spiritual Authority , we’ll explore what Pentecost reveals about power, leadership, discernment, and the risky gift of shared spiritual authority.
