When it comes to understanding the Holy Spirit, many of us feel unsure. We might grasp the idea of God the Father and Jesus the Son … but the Holy Spirit? That feels harder to define. In this episode, author and Bible teacher Margaret Feinberg joins us to unpack who the Holy Spirit is, where we see Him throughout Scripture, and how we can begin to experience His power and presence in our everyday lives. Whether you’ve walked with Jesus for decades or are just beginning to explore your faith, this conversation will awaken a new awareness of the God who is closer than your next breath. You’ll learn how to: Stay alert to the Holy Spirit’s hovering — especially in life’s uncertain places. Ask the Holy Spirit one question each day to strengthen your awareness of His presence. Talk about the Holy Spirit with other believers — because personal testimonies stir and strengthen our faith.

When life feels heavy, it can be hard to believe anything good could come from what you’re carrying. In this episode of The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast, Jennifer Rothschild joins Meredith Brock and Shae Hill for a conversation about what it looks like to face real hardship with an eternal perspective. Walking through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Jennifer reminds us that trusting God doesn’t mean minimizing what hurts or pretending everything is fine. Instead we can acknowledge what’s hard, believe God is still working with purpose, and remember what feels permanent right now is temporary in light of eternity.

Listen in to discover how to trust God when you don’t have the answers and how releasing the need to know what happens next can actually create a deeper relationship with Him.
Maybe we’ve made wisdom more complicated than God intended it to be.
