02 / The Holy Spirit In Us [Rebecca Stevenson]

This is #2 of 2 messages by Rebecca Stevenson for the 2026 Women's Daytreat themed, "Filled with the Holy Spirit", where we broke bread together, connected with new and old friends, and learned more about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, exploring how He shapes us as followers of Jesus living in this world. Our speaker was Rebecca Stevenson, a dear sister in Christ, scholar of His Word, and former member of CHBC. Rebecca Brewster Stevenson is a writer, teacher, and speaker. She’s also a wife, mother, and grandmother, a homemaker, cook, and gardener, and a volunteer at her church. Rebecca earned a BA in literature and communication arts from Grove City College. She holds a Masters in Liberal Studies from Duke University, with her thesis on modernism in Thomas Mann’s epic Joseph and His Brothers under the supervision of Thomas Pfau. She earned an MLitt in Analytic and Exegetical Theology at the University of St. Andrews, writing her dissertation on joy in Kierkegaard’s The Sickness Unto Death under the supervision of Andrew Torrance. She homeschooled her children for several years, and has also taught in public and private schools in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. She’s currently a Theology teacher at Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill.  She’s been a writer most of her life and loves almost everything about it, from the haptics of a good keyboard to the concision of a semicolon. She’s a firm believer in fiction’s power to tell the truth but resorts often enough to non-fiction because it can be both expedient and delightful.  She finds God and all things related to him endlessly fascinating and ultimately beautiful. Mostly she writes about that.
