OOTB Podcast - Spirit, Soul & Body: Learning to Be Led by the Spirit

Spirit, Soul & Body: Learning to Be Led by the Spirit (Out of the Box Church Podcast)

Pastor Dustin welcomes returning guest Patrick Murphy to the Out of the Box Church podcast for a Bible-study conversation on understanding believers as three-part beings—spirit, soul, and body—and why this topic, along with being led by the Spirit, is foundational for Christians. Using Philippians 1:6 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23, they discuss God’s ongoing sanctifying work, “peace” as nothing missing and nothing broken, and God’s desire for wholeness without conflict between the three parts. Patrick explains functions of the spirit (conscience, intuition, communion), the soul (mind, will, emotions), and the body (five senses), emphasizing discernment between being led by the spirit versus the mind, the importance of timing, and renewing the mind through the Word. Patrick offers a free digital copy of his book “Building on the Rock” at acts29mi.com and notes his other books are available on Amazon.
