Ep 86 | Listening to the Promptings of the Holy Spirit with Kyle Pierpont

In this episode of the Rules & Tools Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Pierpont to talk about what it really looks like to live a Holy Spirit–led life. From learning how to hear God’s promptings to walking in obedience even when it feels uncomfortable, Kyle shares powerful stories from his family, childhood, and ministry experiences. We discuss why God designed us to live in community and team, how hurt and fear can cause us to hold back, and what it means to stop quenching the Holy Spirit. Through stories of praying for strangers, unexpected ministry moments (yes—even in Taco Bell), and learning humility, this conversation invites believers to move beyond passive faith and into active surrender. If you’ve ever wondered why hearing God feels difficult, how to discern the Spirit’s voice, or what it truly means to give God the wheel, this episode will encourage you to take the next step in following Jesus wholeheartedly.Chapters:(0:44) Welcome Kyle Pierpont(1:52) Kyle’s Family and Background(3:37) Why We’re Meant to Be Part of a Team(4:38) Learning to Hear the Prompting of the Holy Spirit(6:04) Kyle’s Dad: A Story of Obedience to the Spirit(7:48) Dreams and Promptings in Scripture(8:22) Praying for Someone in Public(10:16) Why We Struggle to Hear the Holy Spirit(12:26) Ministry in a Taco Bell(14:40) Holding Back Because of Hurt(16:49) Hearing the Spirit of God for the First Time(19:56) Living a Holy Spirit Lifestyle(23:30) What It Means to Follow Jesus(25:44) A Childhood Backpacking Trip That Shaped Faith(28:44) Truly Giving God the Wheel(32:05) Walking in Humility(34:19) Jesus’ Sacrifice vs. the Goal of Our Lives(37:05) Closing2780 44th St SW, Suite 100,Wyoming, Mi 49519 (616) 726-5400Sign up for a Freedom Appointment: setfreemin.org/freedomWeb: SetFreeMin.orgFacebook: facebook.com/setfreeusaDonate at: https://www.setfreemin.org/giveEmail: [email protected]
