Monday Night Lenten Video Series: Listen

“Was it the Holy Spirit talking or the pizza I just ate?” asks author Phyllis Tickle, reflecting the appropriate skepticism any of us feel when we hear people claim they have been divinely guided. Yet just because there is reason for skepticism does not mean the Spirit is silent. Join Rev. Eric Elnes Ph.D. in a seven-part video series exploring how the voice of God speaks to us, what we can do to strengthen the connection, and ways we can discern the Spirit’s “voice” amidst the static.
