"The Holy Spirit makes the grace and love of Jesus real to us!" In this episode, Jeannie Cunnion shares from her newest book, Don't Miss Out: Daring to Believe Life Is Better with the Holy Spirit. Having already served Jesus for 40 years, Jeannie realized that she had been missing out on all that the Holy Spirit was intended to do in her life. While Scripture teaches that God gives us the Holy Spirit to help us the moment we put our trust in Jesus, many of us still try to live our Christian lives in our own strength.

As Jeannie's desire for more of God grew, so did her awareness of the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit invites each one of us into a beautiful intimacy with Him and longs to empower us to live out God's purposes for our lives.

For all of you moms who long to help your children to love and live for Jesus, there is a special part in this episode that will speak right to your heart!{ USE PLAYER BAR @ TOP OF PAGE to listen to show, subscribe and share }
