Living in the Spirit!

Learning to Love Authenically

In this episode of Living in the Spirit, we explore what it truly means to love authentically and unconditionally in a world marked by division, violence, fear, and spiritual confusion.  As current events continue to reflect a loss of compassion for both God and humanity, this conversation calls believers back to Spirit-led-love- the kind of love Jesus modeled and commanded.

Where is Your Joy?

What is joy—and how do we find it when life feels heavy?
In this episode of Living in the Spirit, we explore the true meaning of joy—not happiness based on circumstances, but the deep, abiding joy that comes from God’s presence. You’ll discover how joy is cultivated through connection with the Holy Spirit, how it strengthens us in difficult seasons, and how it becomes a witness to others.
This episode concludes with a guided prayer inviting God to restore joy, renew weary hearts, and remind us that the world didn’t give us this joy—and the world can’t take it away.

A Thanksgiving of Truth, Justice, and the Spirit”

Welcome to Living in the Spirit, where we pause, breathe, and open ourselves to God’s truth in a world that often prefers convenience over conviction. In today’s episode, we enter a sacred moment of prophetic thanksgiving—one rooted not in fantasy or nostalgia, but in truth, justice, compassion, memory, mercy, and love.
This episode invites us to look beyond the traditional images of Thanksgiving and into the deeper spiritual work God calls us to do: remembering the land we stand on, the people who were displaced, the stolen labor that built this nation, and the immigrants who continue to cross borders that once crossed them. Together, we seek a gratitude that does not ignore pain but transforms it; a thanksgiving that leads us toward repair; a thanksgiving shaped by the heart of Jesus, who crossed borders, welcomed the stranger, and lived a life of radical love.
Today, we are not simply giving thanks—we are learning how to live in the Spirit of truth.

The Spirit of Righteous Resistance

This special Living in the Spirit episode explores the spiritual meaning behind the nationwide economic and labor boycott scheduled for November 25–December 2. The host explains that boycotts have always been part of faith-led justice movements, from the Exodus to the Civil Rights era. The episode frames the boycott as a form of spiritual discipline, aligning economic choices with God’s call for justice.
Listeners learn the goals of the boycott—challenging unjust labor practices, confronting economic inequality, and supporting workers’ dignity. Practical guidance is provided on participating in the boycott through reduced spending, supporting local and minority-owned businesses, engaging in prayer, and practicing economic Sabbath.
Grounded in Isaiah 58 and other justice-focused scriptures, the episode encourages believers to see this action as holy work: a collective fast from exploitation and a prophetic stand for fairness, compassion, and equity. The episode closes with a prayer for strength, unity, and Spirit-led justice.
