Wrapping our heads around the Trinity can feel pretty overwhelming. Who is the Holy Spirit? How does He work and guide us? How does the Holy Spirit Help Us? There are so many questions and misconceptions surrounding this topic, and in today’s show, I’m digging in to uncover the answers.

I’ll break down…

  • how the Holy Spirit works in our lives
  • what He does (and doesn’t) do
  • how the Holy Spirit speaks to us and how we should respond

Plus, I put together a FREE 30-day Power of the Holy Spirit Scripture Challenge, and I’ll tell you how you can get your hands on it.

How Does the Holy Spirit Guide Us

In today’s show, we’ll dig into the Bible to learn the story of Abraham’s servant and how he was tasked with leading Rebekah (Abraham’s future daughter in-law) into a new life.

It’s a story filled with uncertainty and unexpected twists, yet anchored by unwavering trust.

In it, we’ll see a beautiful example of faith in action, reminding us of the importance of trusting in The Spirit’s leading, even when the path ahead seems unclear.

How Does the Holy Spirit Work

From convicting us, to empowering us with spiritual gifts, the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in shaping our faith walk.

He…

  • comforts us when life gets hard.
  • convicts us of sin, leading us to repentance and transformation.
  • equips us to serve others and follow His lead with confidence.
  • leads us into a deeper relationship with God.
  • intercedes for us when we don’t know what to pray.
  • empowers us to live a life that glorifies God.

And as we’ll learn in this episode, we can, and should, tap into His power — the very power of God — to help us when we need wisdom, guidance and clarity as we navigate our daily lives.

What the Holy Spirit Doesn’t Do

As we’ll learn in today’s show, the Holy Spirit doesn’t force, contradict Scripture, or promote chaos.

Instead, He brings order, clarity, and peace into our lives.

How Does the Holy Spirit Speak to Us

It can get discouraging when it comes to hearing from the Holy Spirit. I mean, how does He speak to us? How do we know it’s even Him?

In this episode, I’ll share HOW the Holy Spirit speaks to us, so you can learn to discern His voice in the midst of the noise and chaos.

  Why Do I Keep Starting Over With God? 
  October 16, 2026 
Have you ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start again with God next week.”
Maybe you used to start your mornings with prayer, but lately your Bible has stayed closed and you feel like you’re constantly trying to catch up with God.
Maybe life has started demanding more than usual.
The kids need to be picked up, dinner still needs to be made and the laundry pile is growing faster than you can fold it. And by the time you finally sit down at the end of the day, you’re too exhausted to even say a prayer.
At first, you tell yourself you’ll get back to it tomorrow — but tomorrow comes and goes. Then a few more days pass. Before long, missing one day turns into three, then three days turn into a week.
And that’s when the guilt starts creeping in. Before you know it, you’re thinking to yourself, “I’ve failed again.”
Or maybe it’s been longer than a week. Maybe it’s been months — even years — since you really felt close to God, and you’re wondering if starting over is even possible at this point.
Either way, the question underneath is the same. Why do I keep ending up here?

  How to Pray for Your Husband When You Don’t Know What to Say 
  October 9, 2026 
You noticed it at dinner.
Your husband was quieter than usual, and when you asked how work went, he said, “Fine.” But you’ve been married long enough to know when fine doesn’t really mean fine.
You knew something was weighing on him — something just felt off.
Later that night, lying beside him in the dark, you wished you knew how to help. So you did the one thing you knew you could do — you prayed, “Lord, help him.”
It was honest and exactly what you wanted God to do. But almost as soon as you said it, you started wondering if you should have said more.
Is that really enough? Shouldn’t I know how to pray for my own husband?
Maybe you’ve joined the 31-day prayer challenges for wives, or you started the prayer book that’s still sitting on your nightstand with a bookmark somewhere around chapter three. You’ve heard other women pray confidently for their husbands, covering everything from his work and health to your husband’s relationships, protection, and spiritual life.
Meanwhile, you’re struggling just to put one sentence together.
And when you love someone this much, it’s easy for that struggle to start feeling like more than simply not knowing what to say. You begin wondering if you’re doing this “right” or whether your prayers for him are making any difference at all.
But sometimes the reason we don’t know what to say isn’t because we have nothing to pray about. It’s because we’ve put so much pressure on ourselves to say the right thing that an honest prayer no longer feels like enough.
So before we talk about what to pray for your husband, I want to take some of that pressure off.
Because learning how to pray for your husband doesn’t begin with finding more powerful words. It begins with understanding what God actually asks of us when we come to Him in prayer.
