    120 - Knowing the Holy Spirit Part 5: The Spirit of Truth: Your Divine Navigator

    When Jesus embodied "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" on earth, the disciples had a physical person to follow. In this episode, we discover how the Holy Spirit continues that embodiment of truth by living in us. You will learn that the Holy Spirit's role is not just to comfort us, but to guide us into the absolute integrity of God's Word and provide us with a "deep experiential reality" of God’s thoughts. From knowing the gender of an unborn child to sensing when a job loss is imminent, the Spirit of Truth acts as a navigator who tells us "what is yet to come." Learn why you never have to be clueless about your future or vulnerable to deception when you have the Witness of the Spirit active in your life. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Embodying the Truth: Why the Holy Spirit is the necessary representation of Jesus' own identity as "The Truth." The Divine Testifier: Understanding the Spirit’s primary role in testifying to the finished work of Christ and unveiling the "glorified Jesus." Foresight as a Right: Why it is your spiritual right as a believer to know "things to come" and how the Spirit prepares you for life’s unexpected corners. Objective vs. Subjective Truth: How to differentiate between "your truth" and "the truth" found in Christ. The Power of Discernment: A powerful personal testimony on how the Spirit of Truth alerts us to "unsettled" feelings to help us separate "good" opportunities from "God" opportunities. Separating Wheat from Chaff: How the Spirit helps you recognise falsehood even when it presents itself as light.

    119 - Knowing the Holy Spirit Part 4: The Paraclete - Our Divine Helper

    In this episode, we dive into one of the most comforting and powerful roles of the Holy Spirit: The Helper. Drawing from Jesus’ final promises in John 14 and 16, we explore the Greek concept of the Paracletus: the one called to our side to aid, advise, and strengthen us. Jesus was clear: He would not leave us as orphans. He provided an Advocate to take His place, act on His behalf, and empower us to do "greater works." From helping Jesus navigate wilderness temptations to transforming a fearful Peter into a bold apostle, this episode reveals how the Holy Spirit provides the practical help, divine remembrance, and strategic foresight we need to navigate 2026 and beyond. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The Paracletus Defined: Understanding the Holy Spirit as your Counselor, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby. The Gift of Remembrance: How the Spirit brings the words of Christ back to your mind exactly when you need them; even counteracting specific temptations. A Model of Help: Seeing how the Holy Spirit fueled Jesus’ earthly ministry and provided the "strength and ability" for Him to go about doing good. From Fear to Boldness: How the Spirit transforms the human heart, taking the disciples from locked rooms to public declarations of faith. Strategic Intercession: Why praying in the Spirit is the key to aligning with God's will when you don't know what to pray for. Foresight and Fruitfulness: How the Spirit guides you into "all truth" and warns you of things yet to come, keeping you on the front foot of life.

    118 - Knowing the Holy Spirit Part 3: Why We Need The Holy Spirit

    Why did Jesus, being fully God, still need to be filled with and led by the Holy Spirit before beginning His earthly ministry? In this episode, we explore the vital "Why" behind the Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives. If Jesus relied on the Spirit to fulfil His assignment, how much more do we need that same divine partnership? We delve into the promise of "Prepared Blessings and Places" for 2026 and discover that these realities can only be accessed through spiritual revelation. Join us as we learn to stop doing "Russian roulette" with our lives and instead embrace the Holy Spirit as our primary source of success, strength, and extraordinary wisdom. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The Jesus Precedent: Why Jesus’ baptism and subsequent leading by the Spirit (Matthew 3 & 4) set the template for our own empowered lives. The Emptiness of Self-Sufficient Living: Understanding that, while salvation is a gift, the "greater works" Jesus promised (John 14:12) are possible only through the Spirit's help. Accessing God's In-Store Assets: How the Spirit unveils "profound realities" and things never before seen or heard that God has specifically stored for you (1 Corinthians 2). Success Step-by-Step: Learning to listen to the Spirit as the One who "teaches you how to succeed" and prevents costly mistakes in life and relationships (Isaiah 48:17).

    117 - Knowing the Holy Spirit Part 2: Partnering With The Creative Presence of God

    Have you ever felt like your life, business, or health was "without form and empty"? In this episode, we go back to the very first day of creation to meet the Holy Spirit as He hovered over the deep. We learn that while the Spirit is always present, His creative power is fully unleashed only through active partnership with the believer. From the craftsmanship of Bezalel in Exodus to the miraculous conception of Jesus, we examine how the Holy Spirit infuses human beings with multi-dimensional wisdom, skill, and life. This episode challenges you to stop seeing creativity as a talent for a few and start seeing it as your spiritual inheritance as a child of the Creator.

Following our deep dive into the life of Jesus, you'll begin an exploration of the person Jesus promised would never leave us: the Holy Spirit. In this introductory session, we move beyond seeing the Holy Spirit as an abstract force and begin to understand Him as a person with whom we can build deep, relational intimacy.

    115 - Knowing Jesus Part 7: The Last Will and Testament of Christ

    What would you say if you knew you only had a few days left with the people you loved most? In the natural, we call this "setting our affairs in order," but in the spiritual realm, Jesus was doing something far more profound. In the concluding episode of our "Knowing Jesus" series, Bunmi Oduah explores the final discourses of Christ found in John 14–17. These were not just parting words; they were Jesus’ "will" for His disciples and for us. From the promise of an indwelling Advocate to the high priestly prayer for unity, we discover a Savior who was deeply concerned with how we would navigate the world after His departure. Join us as we examine the legacy of comfort, connection, and joy that Jesus left behind for every believer. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The Heart of a Will: Why Jesus’ final words provide a roadmap for our future and serve as a profound sign of His love for those He was "leaving behind." The Comfort of His Presence: Understanding the role of the Holy Spirit as our "Advocate" who ensures we are never left as orphans. The Mandate of Connection: A look at the "Vine and the Branches" in John 15 and why our fruitfulness is entirely dependent on our ability to abide and remain in Him. Joy as a Weapon: Why Jesus prioritised joy (John 16) as a source of boldness and courage, even when the world around us is chaotic. A Legacy of Unity: Exploring Jesus’ final prayer in John 17 for His followers to be "one," reflecting the same union He shares with the Father.

    114 - Knowing Jesus Part 6: Jesus, The Way, The Truth and The Life

    In this pivotal episode of our "Knowing Jesus" series, we explore the profound and exclusive claim Jesus makes in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." While modern culture often suggests there are many paths to God, Jesus was unapologetically definite. He didn't claim to be one of the ways; He declared Himself the only way to the Father. Understanding Jesus as "The Way" is the starting point for true spiritual intimacy. In this study, we dive deep into what it means to access the Father through union with Christ and how this connection activates "Zoe," the absolute fullness of divine life within us right here and now. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The Exclusive Claim: Why settling the truth that Jesus is the only way to God is foundational to your faith and your ability to stand firm in a world of misconceptions. Zoe Life Today: Understanding that "eternal life" is not a far-off reward waiting in heaven, but a current, present reality of vitality and blessing available to you today. The Resurrection and the Life: A look at the story of Lazarus and how Jesus’ identity as the resurrection has the power to bring dead things back to life in your business, marriage, and body. The River of Fruitfulness: How the life of God within you is meant to flow out like the river in Ezekiel 47, bringing healing, abundance, and fruitfulness to everything it touches. Knowing as Experiencing: Why eternal life is defined by Jesus as truly knowing and experiencing the only true God.

    113 - Knowing Jesus Part 5: Jesus, Our Living Example (Part 2)

    We continue our deep dive into the life of Christ as the ultimate roadmap for the believer. In this episode, we explore the practical dimensions of Jesus’ earthly ministry, reminding us that He didn't just come to secure our salvation, but to demonstrate the "original intent" of humanity: to rule, reign, and walk in constant communion with the Father. Jesus is the "visible image of the invisible God" and the "mirror image" of the Father's true nature. By studying His actions, His commitment to prayer, His deep empathy for the hurting, and His total surrender to the Spirit, we find the blueprint for our own lives as sons and daughters of God. What You'll Learn From This Episode: The Blueprint of Restoration: Understanding that Jesus came to restore us to the original mandate given to Adam in Genesis 1, to subdue the earth and have dominion. A Life of Constant Prayer: Exploring why Jesus "often withdrew to the wilderness" and why constant communion with the Holy Spirit is a vital life force for every believer. The Heart of Empathy: A look at Jesus’ compassion for the widow of Nain and the helpless crowds, and a challenge to let our hearts be moved by the needs of others. Led by the Spirit: Why being "Spirit-led" is the primary marker of a child of God, providing the guidance and strength needed to navigate life's wilderness. The Humility of Sovereignty: Examining the "attitude of Christ" in Philippians 2, where the King of Kings took the position of a servant to reconcile us to God. The Greater Works Promise: A reminder that because we carry the same Spirit, we are empowered to do the same works Jesus did and even greater. Join us as we move beyond religious tradition and start living out the reality of Christ in us, the hope of glory.
