About this episode

The episode discusses how relying on God's Spirit can lead to being better, stronger, and greater, even in the absence of Jesus' physical presence.

Most of us are doing our best to do it all on our own. We’re juggling our dreams and other’s expectations, work, relationships, finances, health. It’s overwhelming; often leaving us wondering if we have what it takes to keep going. With every passing week, we push harder and cope longer just to keep our head above water. Is this just the way it is? We wish we were better, stronger, greater, and more self-sufficient than we are. But despite how much we try, we don’t feel any more at peace. Ever think, “If Jesus were sitting right next to me, I’d be so much more confident and capable.” His first followers experienced that to be true. Then one day, he turned and said, “It’d be even better for you if I went away.” What? That can’t be right! But what if it is? Could that promise be true for everyone, even you? It seems to be. What if learning to connect to God’s Spirit is the secret weapon you’ve been waiting for all along? We’re going to show you how
