Ep 2: Why Your Faith Needs a Deeper Dive

Описание: In Episode 2 of Say That Again, Pastor Jason Britt and Pastor Matt Piland sit down to discuss the "Aftermath" of the sermon series "Familiar Stranger." If you've ever felt like the Holy Spirit is more of a vague force than a present friend, this conversation is for you.

Jason and Matt pull back the curtain on the theology of the Trinity, moving past the "weirdness" often associated with the Holy Spirit to find the biblical truth of His personhood. They discuss the vital role the Spirit plays in the life of a believer—from conviction and comfort to empowering us for the mission of the Church.

In this episode, we cover:
∙ The "Forgotten God": Why we struggle to relate to the Holy Spirit compared to the Father and Son.
∙ Theology vs. Experience: Balancing biblical study with a real, felt relationship with God.
∙ Practical Discernment: How to know when the Spirit is truly leading you.
