451: Listener Question on the Work of the Holy Spirit

08/29/26

13 mins

By Christopher Gillespie | Donavon Riley

All Apologies. In this episode, we respond to another listener question. What does it mean to “sit with a text” and yet be prepared at all times to give an apology for the hope that is in us? How does the Holy Spirit work in and through believers to testify to the truth about Jesus? Does the Spirit work through non-Christians, and if so, how and to what purpose? How has modern Christian evangelism differed from pre-modern evangelism and apologetics? What do the gospels teach us about the character of evangelism? This and much, much more in this week’s episode.

The conversation revolves around the central question: How then can we be sure that the Spirit is at work in our worship?
