Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

It's only just a matter of it's how to sing.

So the back row is you glide.

You don't have to know how to ever since and no sense we've got you left.

Welcome to Sizzy Larson 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. Speaking of presence, we're talking about the power of the Holy Spirit

today, really the most misunderstood person of the Trinity, Father's Son and the Holy Spirit.

In a little bit, Max Cicado joins me to talk about his brilliant book. Help is here,

finding fresh strength and purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is another book that to me is just pure gold. It's a biblical unpacking of the Holy Spirit. Why are we so afraid to talk about the Holy Spirit? Well, my opinion is some have taken the idea of the Holy Spirit to such an extreme. Like they have the corner on the Holy Spirit. There's one way to access him, and this is how it looks.

And other times there may be extreme behavior that's coming out of that where the pendulum

will swing the other way.

And some are like, I don't want to look like a fool, so I'm going to just not talk about

the Holy Spirit.

I want to maintain my respectability.

Well, that's a problem as well, because you can make an idol out of respectability before you know it.

You've got a fair or sacal spirit.

The Holy Spirit in Scripture is the wind.
