The Holy Spirit Is More Sensitive Than You Think (with Dr. R.T. Kendall)

What if the easiest thing in the world to do is grieve the Holy Spirit — and the hardest thing in the world is to keep from it?

Most of us treat the Spirit's presence like a given. Dr. R.T. Kendall has spent 70 years learning the opposite: that the third person of the Godhead is a very, very sensitive person — and He won't bend the rules for anyone. Not even a man who's been walking with Him for eight decades.

At 91 years old, Dr. Kendall is one of the most respected theologians alive — 25 years at Westminster Chapel in London, author of multiple books, including Total Forgiveness. He's also been canceled, publicly rebuked, and thrown under the bus by both sides of the church for one message he refuses to let go of — the power of word & Spirit. In this conversation, Preston sits down with him to talk about the vision that started it all, the burden he's carried for over 30 years, and the teaching that changed Preston's marriage in real time.

In this episode:

* The Silent Divorce — why the church split into "word churches" and "spirit churches," and what happens when the two remarry

* Ishmael and Isaac — the message that cost Dr. Kendall his reputation with Baptists, Reformed, and charismatics all at once

* October 31, 1955 — the vision on old US-41 that was "more real than you are right now"

* Adjusting to the Dove — a couple's discovery that reframes everything about the Spirit's presence

* Closing the Gap — Dr. Kendall's one-sentence definition of spirituality (and why mid-sentence repentance is the goal)

Do you know what grieves Him? Dr. Kendall says finding that out will change everything.
