In which John and David talk about how Acts shows us the holistic changes brought by the Holy Spirit. We often relegate Christian transformation into purely spiritual categories. However, in Acts 4:32f we see how the spiritual and the practical are impacted by what God is doing through the Holy Spirit as we saw modelled in Jesus.

[00:00:00] David: So John, in our last episode, we were talking about this, this fascinating three verses of Acts 4 32, 33, 34, but this blend of the spirit and the practical and how they get sort of locked in together and we see that the Holy Spirit always has.
