Misconceptions about the Holy Spirit aren’t anything new, but they are definitely something to look out for. Why? Because at some point in your faith, having a misconception about the Holy Spirit will cause faulty thinking and frustrated living.

In this episode of the Pioneer Assembly, host Bethany Barr Phillips discusses common misconceptions about the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the importance of understanding His true nature as a person rather than a force or mere feeling. She shares personal experiences that shaped her understanding and encourages listeners to engage with the Holy Spirit, highlighting that He is available to all believers. The conversation aims to clear up misunderstandings and foster a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Takeaways
