God, Is There More? The Question That Changed My Christian Life

**SUPPORT THE BOOK LAUNCH! UnRedacted: Awakening to the Life God Actually Intended by Henry Hastings:** https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HD5ZQ989/ -- What happens when following God begins taking you beyond what you thought the Christian life could be? For years, Henry was convinced that many of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit - prophecy, tongues, healing, words of knowledge, and other manifestations of the Spirit - had ceased with the apostolic age. It wasn't that he didn't love God or Scripture. He believed it because he was convinced it was biblical. Henry had been to seminary. He had pastored. He had taught the Bible. And cessationism had become part of the theological framework through which he understood the Christian life. Then something began to change. While studying Scripture, particularly 1 Corinthians 12–14, Henry began confronting a difficult question: **Am I allowing Scripture to determine my theology - or am I allowing my theology to determine what Scripture is permitted to say?** That question eventually became much more than a theological debate. In this episode of the Henry & Amanda Podcast, we share Henry's personal journey from cessationism into experiencing the Holy Spirit in ways he once believed were no longer possible - including hearing God, spiritual gifts, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, healing, deliverance, and even an encounter with God that forced him to reconsider passages of Scripture he had read for years. But this episode isn't really about convincing you to become charismatic. It's about a much bigger question: **What if there's more?** More to the Holy Spirit. More to your identity in Christ. More to the authority Jesus gave believers. More to spiritual freedom. More to your calling. And more to walking with God than you have experienced so far. That journey ultimately became the foundation for Henry's new book, *UnRedacted: Awakening to the Life God Actually Intended.* Don't take Henry's word for it. Open your Bible. Test everything against Scripture. And ask the Holy Spirit one simple question: “What have I been missing?” **In This Episode:** 0:00 When God Challenges Your Beliefs 6:18 Why I Stopped Being A Cessationist 15:35 How To Experience MORE Of God 21:33 UNREDACTED 30:17 Do You Need To Be Charismatic? **Resources:** GET THE BOOK: UnRedacted: Awakening to the Life God Actually Intended by Henry Hastings: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HD5ZQ989/ HELP SUPPORT TRAFFICKED CHILDREN - BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER: https://www.justicereigns.org/give \--- SMC In Person Event in Idaho Oct 7: https://www.smctribe.com/idaho-training Men's Book Club (Loyal Nine): https://www.smctribe.com/loyalnine The Forge (Free Community): https://smc-tribe.mn.co/plans/1900584 Justice Reigns Prayer Team: https://www.justicereigns.org/pray \--- Website: https://www.henryandamanda.com/ Justice Reigns: https://justicereigns.org/ SMC: https://smctribe.com -- Henry & Amanda on Instagram: https://instagram.com/henryamandapodcast/ Henry on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HenrywHastings/ Amanda on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amandahastingsofficial \--- Baptism of the Holy Spirit Book: https://www.henryandamanda.com/store/p/guide-to-the-baptism-with-the-holy-spirit-e-book \--- **Mentioned:** God's Dating App Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkexsV1CqCs God's Dating App II Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E83SanwnSLw God's Dating App III Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yRy3lEVKlk \--- If this episode encourages you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope and a bigger vision of what God is doing around the world.
