The willingness to be wrong is an important part of living a life led by the Holy Spirit. Anyone who has given their life to Jesus has already confessed areas of wrong beliefs and actions...and the pursuit of God requires the courage to make this an ongoing practice.

In this episode we continue looking at the transformation process related to the fruit of the Spirit. Glenn stresses that there are tremendous benefits that come from growing in the fruit of the Spirit. Specifically, we cannot grow in the fruit of the Spirit without the Presence of God.

This episode begins a deeper dive into the gift of prophecy. Glenn points out that the Christian community is divided over whether or not the gift of prophecy exists today.
