Pastor Max talks with us about his new book, Help Is Here: Finding FRESH STRENGTH and PURPOSE in the POWER of the Holy Spirit.
The three of us talk about:
* Each of our own journeys in understanding the desperate need we have for the Holy Spirit
* Three powerful, yet simple words to speak out loud every morning

* The practical ways to invite the Holy Spirit into your day-to-day life as a family
