Forgotten God? Introducing the Holy Spirit

In this episode of the Why Do Christians…? podcast, Mark and Burt kick off a new multi-week series all about the Holy Spirit. With Josh out sick, it’s “old school”—just the two of them in the studio, joking about creaky chairs, weird camera angles, and mysterious footprints on the footstool.From there, they dive into a huge question: why did Jesus say it’s actually better for Him to go away so the Holy Spirit could come (John 16)? Burt unpacks what that means, why the Spirit isn’t an “it” but a “He,” and why Christians miss so much when they think of the Holy Spirit as a vague force instead of a real person of the Trinity.They also tease where the series is headed—how the Holy Spirit changes hearts, empowers everyday life, speaks to believers, and shows up in the church today—and invite you to send in your questions for future episodes.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?
