About this episode
Pastor Will discusses how our expectations can limit God's work and the empowering role of the Holy Spirit in our mission.
Pastor Will shares a home project that didn’t go as planned to illustrate how tightly we hold expectations. Like the disciples expecting a restored Israel, we often limit God’s work. Instead, Jesus offers something greater—Spirit-empowered mission beyond our plans. When expectations shift, the Holy Spirit gives power to take faithful steps and become witnesses to God’s expanding work.
