Episode Details

We ask the biggest question behind Pentecost: how Peter goes from fear and denial to fearless preaching that brings thousands to baptism. We get practical about the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence and challenge ourselves to live like God truly dwells within us. 
• Peter’s collapse on Holy Thursday and the human reality of fear 
• Pentecost as the turning point where fear loses 
• why Christianity spreads without power, money, or institutions 
• the Holy Spirit as the living guide of the Church across centuries 
• salvation history and the Spirit’s return as the game-changer 
• the baptized soul as the temple and the new holy of holies 
• God closer than breath and prayer as remembering reality 
• Christianity as transformation from the inside out 
• speaking to the Holy Spirit as a Person, not an “energy” 
• the “activate it” habit and giving God permission to work 
• saints as real strugglers and holiness as a daily choice 

So we hope all of you have been doing the challenge from the homily, which is taking four seconds every morning and saying, Come, Holy Spirit.
