Summary
Pastor Mark Turman was so encouraged by Dr. Denison's book about the Holy Spirit, titled Empowered, that he asked to record its 47 chapters as daily readings for his church.
When Dr. Denison heard about this, he suggested the great idea to release these recordings as bonus episodes of The Daily Article Podcast every day from Ash Wednesday to Easter.
We hope that you will likewise be encouraged by these short, insightful, and empowering podcast episodes.

| 0:57.0 | called gentleness. This term translates Pross, one of the truly great words in the Greek |
| 1:03.5 | language. No English word adequately describes this one. Aristotle gave the word its classic definition, the man who is always angry at |
| 1:14.5 | the right time and never at the wrong time, someone who controls his or her emotions, no matter the |
