Unhurried Living

Who is the Holy Spirit to you—an intimate friend or a mysterious stranger? In this episode, Alan Fadling speaks with Tyler Staton, lead pastor of Bridgetown Church and author of The Familiar Stranger, about rediscovering the Holy Spirit and stepping into a more experiential, Spirit-led life. Tyler shares practical insights and biblical metaphors that invite us into deeper intimacy with the Spirit and a greater awareness of His presence and power. In this episode, you’ll hear about: How the Holy Spirit is like a tabernacle, a river, and living water. The dangers of over-intellectualizing or misusing the Spirit, with lessons from Nicodemus and Simon the Sorcerer. The power of discernment as a gift of recognizing God’s voice amid the noise. A practical, grounded approach to prophecy and speaking on behalf of God.
