How do we have a relationship with the Holy Spirit? What does it look like to live by the Spirit? And do you know what we say? Those are excellent questions that we have too! So we called in teaching pastor, Lloyd Shadrach, from Fellowship Bible Church in Brentwood, TN to bring clarity and understanding.

Listen in as expert Scott Reall shares how he came to be in true community and why his life’s passion is to help others learn how to be truly known by others.
