    How Should We Talk About God? | Spirit Talk Theology with Dr. Dale Coulter

    How do we speak rightly about God? In this episode of Spirit Talk Theology, Miranda Nelson welcomes returning guest Dr. Dale Coulter for a rich conversation on the Trinity, the Church Fathers, and why the early church cared so deeply about developing a faithful "grammar" for talking about God. Together they explore why theology is far more than intellectual study. From Scripture and the Nicene tradition to Augustine, Athanasius, and the Cappadocian Fathers, this discussion reveals how right doctrine, love for God, and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit belong together. You'll discover why reading the whole story of Scripture matters, how false ideas about God can shape our faith, and why spiritual maturity requires both transformed hearts and renewed minds. If you've ever wondered why doctrine still matters—or how the early church can help us know God more faithfully—this conversation is for you.

    Dr. Jen Miskov - Theology and History of Divine Healing

    Revival history isn't just about the past. It has the power to shape our future. In this episode of Spirit Talk Theology, Miranda Nelson sits down with Dr. Jen Miskov, revival historian, author, speaker, and founder of School of Revival, for a conversation that bridges scholarship and the moving of the Holy Spirit. Together they explore the remarkable life of Carrie Judd Montgomery, one of the most influential yet overlooked figures in the Divine Healing Movement. Dr. Miskov shares how discovering Carrie's story during her PhD research transformed her own life and ministry, while Miranda highlights how studying church history can deepen our relationship with Christ rather than replace it. The conversation explores the miraculous testimony that launched Carrie Judd Montgomery's ministry, the roots of the 19th-century Divine Healing Movement, healing homes and their impact on early Pentecostalism, why forgotten revivalists still have something to teach the Church today, the relationship between academic study and Spirit-filled faith, the power of testimony to ignite revival across generations, and how God builds on previous moves of His Spirit to prepare His Church for what's ahead. Whether you're passionate about church history, revival, healing, or simply hungry for more of God, this episode will encourage you to pursue both a deeper understanding of the faith and a deeper encounter with the Holy Spirit.

    Dr. Steven Félix-Jäger The Convergence of Worship, Art, and Theology

    How should worship shape the Church? In this rich conversation, Miranda Nelson sits down with theologian, artist, musician, and worship pastor Dr. Steven Félix-Jäger to explore the deep relationship between worship, theology, creativity, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from his experience as a systematic theologian and author of Renewal Worship, Dr. Félix-Jäger explains why theology itself is a creative act and how art, music, and worship can become powerful expressions of God's truth. Together they discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in artistic inspiration, the boundaries of creativity in worship, why Pentecostal worship must remain deeply Christ-centered, and how worship pastors are called to shepherd—not perform for—the people of God. They also explore the formative power of doxology, the importance of keeping the main things central in worship, and how healthy worship cultivates right belief, right affection, and faithful Christian living. Whether you're a worship leader, artist, pastor, theologian, or simply hungry to grow deeper in your understanding of worship, this conversation offers practical wisdom and profound theological insight for the Church today.

    From Pentecost to Azusa

    In this episode, Miranda Nelson shares a biblical and historical reflection on Pentecost, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the roots of the Pentecostal movement through Azusa Street.   Miranda walks through Acts 2, showing how Pentecost was not only the birth of the Church, but also the release of power for witness, mission, unity, holiness, and love. She traces the theological stream from John Wesley and the holiness movement to William J. Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival, highlighting how sanctification, Spirit baptism, tongues, healing, racial reconciliation, and humility shaped early Pentecostalism.    This episode also explores the deeper meaning of Spirit baptism: not merely as an experience or manifestation, but as the love of God poured into the heart, empowering believers to live holy lives, carry the gospel, and become agents of reconciliation in the world. Miranda reminds listeners that Pentecost is still for today, and that the Holy Spirit continues to pour out power, love, boldness, and unity on the Church.
