"This Is That" | Bishop Beard

About this episode

This episode explores how Jesus empowers his followers through the Holy Spirit, transforming them from fearful disciples to bold witnesses.

Rooted in the resurrection account from the Gospel of John and the outpouring in Acts of the Apostles , this message explores how Jesus prepares and empowers his followers through the Holy Spirit. From fearful disciples behind locked doors to bold witnesses in the streets, we see that the Spirit is not optional—it is essential. The Holy Spirit transforms hearts, produces Christlike character, and equips believers to live out God's mission in the world.
