This isn't just for the theologians or the pastors or the professionals or people who have

been Christians along us. This beautiful gift of the Holy Spirit is given to every person who

chooses to follow Jesus. That act of faith looks like asking God to speak and giving God permission

Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbeau with Inspired. Inspired, if you're new to us,
