Season 1, Episode 5 – God the Holy Spirit

Discussion/Journaling Questions

1. The Presence of the Holy Spirit: Reflect on a time when you felt a profound sense of connection or presence. How did this experience shape your understanding of the Holy Spirit? How does this personal experience align with Bishop DeDe’s description of the Holy Spirit as a connector and healer?
2. Communion of Saints and Community: Consider a significant moment in your spiritual journey where you felt a deep connection to a larger community or tradition. How does the concept of the “communion of saints” enhance your view of spiritual community both within your faith tradition and beyond?
3. Forgiveness and Personal Transformation: Think about a time when you experienced a deep sense of forgiveness and renewal. How did the Holy Spirit play a role in this process, and how has it influenced your approach to repentance and personal transformation?
4. Breath as a Divine Metaphor: Reflect on the metaphor of breath as described by Bishop DeDe. How does this image of the Holy Spirit breathing life into creation impact your understanding of God’s presence in your everyday life? Can you identify moments where this metaphor felt particularly meaningful?
5. Humbling Moments and Covenant: Write about an experience where you felt both small and significant in the grand scheme of creation. How did this sense of humility and awe affect your relationship with God and your sense of purpose?
