Sealed by the Spirit? A Conversation with Dr. Andy Boakye

In this episode we begin a 4-part series on the Holy Spirit. Dr. Andy Boakye joins the discussion to help clarify the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a New Covenant Christian. Andy masterfully explains the original greek context and gives us an understanding of why Paul taught a specific theology regarding the Holy Spirit. This is just the beginning of this conversation!

The Holy Spirit as a seal?
The Holy Spirit as a deposit, guarantee?
How does the Holy Spirit intercede for us?
How does the Holy Spirit create special intimacy with God (abba)?
How are we temples for the Holy Spirit?
How can Paul’s understanding of the Holy Spirit inspire us towards greater confidence?
