53% of Christians Don't Know Who the Holy Spirit Is — And It's Destroying Their Faith

from Sunday To Society · host Riley Reno

53% of American evangelicals believe the Holy Spirit is just a force. Not a person. Not the third member of the Trinity. A force — like electricity or gravity. And these are people who say the Bible is their highest authority. Something is deeply wrong. And the church's silence on this is making it worse.In this episode of Sunday to Society we break down who the Holy Spirit actually is, what He actually does, and what it looks like to walk with Him in your everyday life. Not theology for theology's sake — truth that will change how you live.SOURCES & FURTHER READINGHere's What's Happening 53% of evangelicals believe the Holy Spirit is a force not a personal being — Ligonier 2025 State of Theology — https://www.ligonier.org/posts/the-results-from-our-2025-state-of-theology-survey-are-in Only 29% of Americans believe in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit — Arizona Christian University American Worldview Inventory 2025 — https://www.arizonachristian.edu/2025/03/26/new_research_reveals_most_christians_reject_trinity/ 98% affirm the Trinity but over half think the Holy Spirit is just a force — Answers in Genesis — https://answersingenesis.org/christianity/2025/10/02/abysmal-state-theology-2025/How Did We Get Here?
