What about the Holy Spirit?

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit with Pastor Dave Larmour at King St. Community Church to discuss, “What about the Holy Spirit?” Rather than a one-way talk, the format was an arm-chair conversation, dealing with questions raised by the congregation concerning the Holy Spirit.

One theme I notice about the questions is that they usually have little to nothing to do with systematic theology (e.g., can you please define the personhood of the Spirit?), and almost everything to do with how we experience the Spirit (or not) in our Christian lives. This is actually a very New Testament way of thinking, since there we read about real people, like you and me, experiencing the presence and activity of the Spirit, and learning to live in relationship with God in everyday life–in both mundane and more unusual ways.

We couldn’t get to all the questions in the time we had, but did touch on some very important ones. The audio of this conversation is available below. Enjoy, follow, and comment.
