We're so excited to launch a brand-new RISE podcast series: Adventures with the Holy Spirit, hosted by our very own Jo Lee and Sarah Gooden.

In this first episode, Jo and Sarah share honestly and authentically about what it looks like to live a life led by the Holy Spirit. Through their stories, insights, and experiences, you'll be encouraged to step into God's purpose for your life right where you are, empowered by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus tells us in John 14:25–26 that the Holy Spirit is our Helper, Comforter, Counsellor, and Advocate. He teaches us, guides us, strengthens us, and reminds us of all that Jesus has said. What an incredible gift!

The Holy Spirit wants to partner with us in our everyday lives—at the school gates, while shopping, at church, in our workplaces, and in our neighbourhoods. As we learn to recognise His voice and follow His leading, we become women who are confident in God's power, rooted in His love, and ready to make a difference in the world around us.

Let this episode strengthen your faith, encourage your heart, and inspire you to partner with the Holy Spirit in fresh ways.Points to Consider as we pause in his presence… As you have been listening to this Podcast. Let this sink in!

Listening to the Holy Spirit and living authentically requires intentional daily practices rooted in Scripture John 14:25-26. So how can we practically listen to the Spirit and step out in faith today?

1. Let’s Quite the Noise. Set daily boundaries. Turn off digital notifications for 15 minutes each morning and listen to the Holy Spirit for instructions. Psalms 46:10

2. Step out in small actions. Obey immediate prompting send that encouraging text or help that neighbour right away. Galatians 6:9, Luke16:10

3. Embrace Radical Honesty.  Acknowledge your mistakes and feelings to God without filtering them. James 5:16, Proverbs 28:13

4. Find trusted mentors. Surround yourself with godly women who love the ‘real you’ so you can encourage each other to step out. Proverbs 27:17

5. Speak your truth. Share your faith or your boundaries calmly and confidently when tested. Also confess your struggles to break isolation. 1 Peter 3:15

6. Lastly accept discomfort. Growth happens when you move forward despite feeling afraid. James 1:2-4, Hebrews 12:11

Let’s Do This:

• Listen to Worship song Holy Spirit’s Power and Presence by Jesus Culture

• Take a little more time and listen to this song as you reflect how you can hear the Holy Spirit for yourself? 

• Take one thing you have learnt today and are going to use to step out in faith by the power of the Holy Spirit? 

You can also join in with Jo and Sarah’s challenge and let us know how you got on please and send in challenges for Jo and Sarah to do for their Adventures with Holy Spirit!
