When it comes to the Holy Spirit, most of us have questions we're a little unsure about asking:Is His voice audible or more like a nudge?How do I know it's Him and not just my own thoughts?And what happens if I ignore what He's saying?In this episode, we talk honestly about what it means to hear and engage with the Holy Spirit. We'll unpack how God speaks, why slowing down matters and how to recognize the difference between conviction and condemnation.Whether you've been following Jesus for years or you're still figuring out what all this means, this conversation will remind you that the Holy Spirit isn't distant or mysterious - He's deeply personal, always present, and still speaking.

Kent and Ana return to the City Church podcast to share what surprised them, what they learned and how they're stepping back into ministry and family life with a new perspective after a summer away.They talk through the joy of unhurried time with Jesus, the challenge of reentering at full pace and the shift from finding identity in work to resting as God's own. Kent works through the notes he took throughout the Sabbatical while Ana does what she does best: funny + insightful commentary along the way. As we approach May 11, we thought it important to give both Kent & Ana a space to share a little behind the scenes insight into how they're feeling about this extended time of rest.
