So thanks for giving, and thanks for sharing with a friend. to sing so the back row is you glide because walking just won't do dance you don't have to know how to ever since him since we've got you

welcome to cissy larsen live always honored to get to spend this time with you in fact i look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully

inspire you in your faith walk, that deepen your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens

your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Today we're talking about the most often

misunderstood, even sometimes neglected person of the Trinity. That's the Holy Spirit. I collected a few quotes on the

one of his classes because much of this content from today's show comes from a course that Dr. Wise

teaches across the street at our university, the University of Northwestern St. Paul. So if you want to

take his class, you need to become a student. We're going to hear from Dr. Wise in just a moment. A quick announcement, though, maybe you've been hearing about it, but we

put a high priority on prayer at Faith Radio all year long. But it's so fun that we're

dedicating this month to just sort of upgrading our prayer life and praying for you. If you've got a prayer request, you can hop on our website, myfaithradio.com,

and you can put it there, or you can text or call at any time and let us know about your
