Description

Most religions have in their origin story someone having a connection to God - Abraham on a mountain, Buddha achieving enlightenment, Joseph Smith seeing a vision. The problem with every religion, however, is that that connection to God is private and temporary, leaving later followers to have to build a religion around the founder to get back to that connection. When Jesus is talking with his disciples in John 16:1-15, he tells them he's leaving them, which sounds like every other religious founder. But instead, Jesus says that he is sending the Holy Spirit. When you know God through Jesus, God's personal presence is permanently available to you. What does that mean and how does he work? That's what we dive into here.
