I’m so happy to have you.
Jenny Randle (01:05.602)
Thanks for having me on, Rachel.
Rachael Adams (01:07.595)
So I was sharing with you before we hit record that you’ve played a really impactful role in my life and you didn’t even probably realize it. Don’t you love the way that the Lord works? Yeah. You, I attended a conference that you helped to host and, I some people there that just ended up just taking me under their wings and then ended up introducing to me, to some of their colleagues. And so then my book came out as a result of all of those things. And you had a role to play in that. And I just am so encouraged by the thought of that, that God is using our acts of obedience. And sometimes we feel like they’re small and we don’t even realize the fruit of them until many years later. And maybe we never will until eternity, but I think that that is just, there’s such a hopeful expectation in that.
Jenny Randle (01:57.932)
Yeah, it’s really encouraging to hear. I love it. So fun.
Rachael Adams (02:01.057)
So I’m excited about your new study. This is something the Holy Spirit, we don’t talk about a lot. I think it’s one of those words that maybe or maybe just an entity or something that seems mystical. It seems very misunderstood. And so I’m thankful that you’re tackling this topic in your Bible study. And I’m thankful that we get to tackle it today here on the podcast. So the title of your new study is called the promised presence. And so why was this message about the Holy Spirit so urgent and personal for you to share right now?
Jenny Randle (02:34.092)
Yeah, well, like you mentioned, I think he’s forgotten a lot. even within the church, often it’s can the topic of the Holy Spirit can carry a lot of baggage because we all have different theological leanings. And so I have found in my work that a lot of people tend to stray away from that conversation because there is baggage around it. And so my goal in my prayer is to kind of walk this middle ground of bringing in the extremes of the Holy Spirit, like extreme expression in like walking in the power of the gifts and not having godly integrity and then having godly integrity but like misunderstanding the Holy Spirit or misrepresenting them or ignoring them altogether. So my prayer and hope is to walk this theological middle ground of like, hey, we can be people that walk in godly power and have godly integrity and character. And we can also be relationally appropriate when we say, the Lord told me something like, are you actually saying? What does that mean? Like not Bible thumping people. So yeah, there’s a lot that goes in in the conversation, but the book started with that thought. And then of course, as I started studying Luke and Acts, I went with this mission and mandate and I was like, this is going to be great. Broad general statements and all the things. And then it became so personal to me. I began walking through a health journey that I’m still walking through as well, but the Lord met me over and over and over and over again just reconfirming what I was learning on a theological like brain level and just Changing and transforming my heart which is so God right to make things so personal for us
Rachael Adams (04:16.595)
Yeah. there’s so much to unpack and I can’t wait to do so, but we are going to take a brief break to hear a word from today’s sponsor. And when we come back, we’ll talk about what it looks like to experience the Holy Spirit’s activity in our everyday lives.
Welcome back. I’m talking with Jenny Randall, the author of The Promised Presence, and we’re talking about the Holy Spirit today. And you mentioned that you take readers through the books of Luke and Acts, and those books, they just show how the Holy Spirit moved in the early church. So what are some of the most encouraging or surprising things you discovered while studying these scriptures?
Jenny Randle (04:58.764)
Yeah, so in the Gospel of Luke, that is the look at Jesus’ earthly ministry. And there were 32 miracle accounts within the Gospel of Luke. And sometimes it wasn’t just a miracle for like one person, it would say, and Jesus healed them all. So it’s like these huge groups of people were encountering these miracles. And then in studying Acts, that’s where the early church was empowered to walk out the gospel and to share who Jesus was and carry that message forth. And Jesus’ disciples were empowered through the Holy Spirit to also be ministers in the power of God. And there were miracles then too. So I think there was like 28 miracles throughout Acts. So just studying the miracles and what they looked like and how they came to be and the result of these miracle encounters. So when I say miracles, I’m talking about the supernatural presence of God invading our natural space. So in the gospels and in Acts, there’s physical healing, there’s social healing even, there’s emotional mental healing, there’s freedom from demonic oppression and even possession. There’s Jesus raising people from the dead. There’s the biggest miracle, is freedom from our sin and salvation through Jesus Christ, right? So there’s all these different miracle encounters. There’s multiplying food, all these different things. And just taking time to dig into that really just gave me a solid footing to trust that God’s not done doing miracles. And even if I don’t see it or experience it in my circumstance, I know one day I will be face to face with Jesus and I’ll be fully healed. And I hold onto the hope that maybe, maybe I’ll experience an instantaneous healing, who knows? But I do know that, I do know the miracle worker and I’m secure because of him.
Rachael Adams (07:02.721)
Yeah, me too. So we kind of alluded to the fact that the Holy Spirit is often misunderstood or maybe misinterpreted. So what are some of the most common questions or misconceptions you’ve encountered and how do you address them?
Jenny Randle (07:18.742)
Yeah, people have called him a force or an it or this is my favorite, the ghost of Christianity, the guy that sits on your shoulder telling you right from wrong. And the biggest thing is that the Holy Spirit is a person. So he’s a divine person. He’s part of the Trinity Father God, Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit. And just because he’s mentioned last in the biblical text doesn’t mean he’s less than. So he’s co-equal and co-eternal. He carries the same attributes that Father God and Lord Jesus do. And he’s serving a function. I like to describe the Holy Spirit as he’s the present reality of God in our present circumstance. So whenever we, for example, say we’re reading the scripture and it comes alive for us and we begin to understand it and we’re enlightened to it. That’s the Holy Spirit opening our minds and giving us wise counsel. And there’s just a ton of different character traits mentioned of God’s Spirit in the text. Like He is our teacher, He is our guide, He empowers us, so much more. But the biggest misconception is calling the Holy Spirit an it’s. So I just try to challenge people’s language and no, He is a he and he’s very personal and intimate part of the Godhead.
Rachael Adams (08:43.413)
Well, he’s been around since the very beginning in Genesis, right? I think so many people may be the misconception too is like, he came in acts to when Jesus went away, the Holy Spirit came, but no, the Holy Spirit has always been a part of the story, right?
Jenny Randle (08:59.406)
Yeah, I love that. That’s such a good reminder because it says Genesis 1-2, he was hovering over the waters of the earth and God spoke and then things began to take shape. And even through Revelation, it says, there’s a verse that’s like Jesus saying, come all who are thirsty, come, talking about the bride and the spirit inviting people to come into relationship with him. And the cool thing, if you study the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament, He would come upon people. He would come upon leaders, kings, prophets, and priests, and he would empower them. He would have this temporary filling to help them do a godly task. And there’s no evidence that there was a permanent filling. So we see in, like you mentioned Acts, in Acts 2, that’s where everything shifts because of Jesus. In Acts 2, it becomes this permanent filling of the Holy Spirit for those who believe in Christ. And that’s a big shift. It wasn’t that the Holy Spirit was present for the first time. It was that He was present differently and within God’s people.
Rachael Adams (10:10.377)
And I think that that’s really for maybe those that are not believers today that are listening. I think that maybe we need to dive a little bit deeper into this. And there’s also this other misconception I hear or maybe not. Maybe it’s not a misconception. Maybe I’m understanding it differently. So I’d love for you to speak into this. Sometimes people will say that person is spirit. They’re a spirit filled quick Christian. In my mind, if you are a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit that is living inside of you. So in some ways we are all spirit-filled Christians, right? Like are there levels of the spirit where some people are more spirit-led than others or, you know, and I think that there is even like the fruit of the spirit. Sometimes you are maybe embodying more fruit in your life than other times. Do you know what I’m trying to say with this question? And so yeah, what would your answer be?
Jenny Randle (11:00.086)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. It’s such a good and loaded question. So yeah, I’ll give big, vast generalizations. So if you study church history, Catholicism was the early church and it extended into Protestantism, of course is a lot of different expressions and denominations, but we’re just doing big, broad categories. And then came Pentecostalism which is more recent. And in classic Pentecostalism, they believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit as seen in Acts 2 is a second occurrence that all believers need to have. And that when you’re baptized with the Spirit, the evidence of that baptism is speaking in tongues. So that’s their view. So when people say, it’s a Spirit-filled person or spirit-filled church, they’re typically using some Pentecostal language to describe that they’ve received the Holy Spirit and there are manifestations that will show that. In my book, I talk about three different ways the Holy Spirit fellowships with us and it is, as you mentioned, the indwelling of the Spirit. So the second you become a follower of Christ, first of all, you can’t become a follower of Christ without the Holy Spirit being active right? Because he awakens our minds to who Jesus is. And when we become that follower of Christ, he dwells in us. So I describe it like, if you have the foundation of a house, right? Your house is built on Christ. It even says our body is a temple. So in that moment, the Holy Spirit’s knocking on your door and he’s moving in. You’re welcoming him in. He begins to clean up the cobwebs and the dust and he’s all this thing. He’s transforming us to be image bearers of Christ. And then the baptism with the Spirit, is when we receive, this is how I like to describe it, we receive his spirit and acknowledge his power. And there are four accounts of people being, of groups being baptized with the spirit in Acts. And in every account, there’s two types of evidence. One is that they’re empowered to spread the gospel and they have this endurance and faith. And the second is that there is a manifestation of the spirit, but it, it was resulted in worshiping God. Sometimes it was just the act of worship. Sometimes it was speaking in unknown tongues. Sometimes it was the Lord was manifesting the prophetic gift, meaning they were able to encourage others. So when I describe the baptism of the Spirit, I like to say it’s this one-time occurrence, whether it happens at conversion or a separate moment where you, the believer begins to recognize God’s power and there’s evidence in whatever way that looks. then of course, so that, so back to the house metaphor, that’s when the power gets turned on for the first time in the house. And then after that, Christians have subsequent fillings over and over and over and over again from the Holy Spirit. And we should be operating with godly fruit, as you mentioned. We should be operating in love. I think that’s so worthy of conversation. But we also are empowered. It says the Holy Spirit is a gift who gives gifts. So we do have the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to minister through us. And if we look at our house, that’s when the light of Christ begins to shine into the neighborhood, begins to make this ripple effect beyond our household into community. And yeah, so I described those three different ways the Holy Spirit fellowships with us. But we do have the indwelling. And that language you mentioned is from, would, tries to back to classic Pentecostalism. But again, that carries baggage for people, because we all have different theological leanings, and it’s a worthy conversation to have, though.
Rachael Adams (15:01.131)
Well, thank you for answering the question that I didn’t even know how to really phrase. And so you did that really well. We’re gonna take another brief break. And when we return, we will talk about more practical ways we can walk in the Spirit’s power and purpose today.
Welcome back. are talking with Jenny Randall about her book, The Promised Presence, talking about the Holy Spirit. And before our break, you mentioned some gifts that the Holy Spirit gives us. So talk to us more elaborate on those.
Jenny Randle (15:36.014)
Yeah, so Paul, the Apostle Paul actually wrote about the gifts a lot. And again, if you look at all the miracle accounts, these are the gifts being operated within Acts. So in 1 Corinthians 12, 13 and 14, the Apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthian church and he’s mentioning some gifts and they are, this is 1 Corinthians 12, they’re for the common good of the church and there’s the gift of prophecy, words of knowledge, words of wisdom, the gift of faith, working of miracles. So it’s not just one miracle, it’s multiple. There’s gifts of healing. So it’s not just one types of healing, it’s multiple. There’s, as I already mentioned, speaking in other tongues and interpretation of tongues. And then there’s also distinguishing of spirits, which often people think is discernment, but that’s different. So distinguishing spirits is a different gift as well which I don’t have, so I love the people that have that gift because I’m just like, I trust everybody. And there’s some people that are like, be careful. But that’s a different conversation. And then not only with the spiritual gifts, there’s tasks and activities that Paul mentions like the gift of serving and acts of mercy and hospitality is within that as well. So different things like that are equally as important to strengthen and build the church also.
Rachael Adams (16:59.585)
So which one is the gift that you feel like that you have?
Jenny Randle (17:03.694)
There’s also the gift of teaching. So I think I have the gift of teaching, but also I’ve seen the Lord minister prophetic knowledge through me as well, specifically like words of knowledge. So basically for words of knowledge, that’s like you can, the Lord gives you insight into somebody like that you wouldn’t know naturally. It’s just this divine insight. Sometimes that’s regarding specific situations in a person’s life and he’ll just use me to encourage and comfort them or to confirm something in their world.
Rachael Adams (17:40.223)
You mentioned at the very beginning, and I want to circle back to it, how God just really met you in a really personal way. So talk to us about your own journey with the Holy Spirit and the moment in your life when his presence became especially real or transformative.
Jenny Randle (17:56.386)
Yeah, I think all through the medical mystery that I’ve been walking through the last handful of years, it’s hard because I trust and know God is healer, but I’m not experiencing that in my reality. And it’s not that I lack faith because I have a lot of faith, right? Like I’m a woman of faith. So understanding that theology has been really important for me and the Holy Spirit has met me in my uncertainty and just has stabilized everything for me. I mean, there was this one moment, I call it the ministry of desperation, where you’re like out of options and you’re like, I have nothing left, Lord. That just like, you better show up or I’m like 100 % screwed for lack of a better word. So I was, there was a moment, it was like two or three in the morning and I was like, in the bathroom, I just was so sick and just like sitting on the floor praying and I, you know, victim mentality creeps in. Why, why me, Lord? I was doing all that and I was like, I just want somebody to come and help me. I’m so sick. but you never wake a sleeping husband and you don’t wake middle schoolers. So I was just in my own pity party and in my spirit as clear as day, I felt as if God said, Jenny, nobody will save you but me and it was obviously, I know that, right? But like for him to meet me in that place of desperation and just remind me like, you’re covered, it’s gonna be okay, I got this. I would describe that as a feeling of the Holy Spirit. I was able to get up off that bathroom floor. And when I walked out, like it was like all my cynicism and victim mentality just left and I was just had the supernatural peace of God. So that was one really pivotal moment for me where he just transformed my mindset for sure.
Rachael Adams (19:49.665)
From start to finish of you writing the Bible study, do you feel closer to the Lord because of it? Like what has shifted in your own heart because as a result of the study?
Jenny Randle (20:01.11)
I think that the biggest, gosh, I just could cry when I think about how good he is. The biggest thing that has shifted for me and while I was writing, I was also finishing up a seminary degree. So there was like a lot of things happening in my faith walk. But the biggest thing is that I don’t chase after him to pursue to receive something, you know what I mean? Like I’m not like, Lord, I wanna prophesy over everyone. I wanna do this. wanna like, I don’t know how to explain it other than like, I’m not chasing an event with the Lord. I’m so secure and firm in His gentle presence being in my life. Like it’s just, I have an unwavering faith that He is my constant companion. And every day is an opportunity to try to pay attention and be a part of what he’s doing. I have a friend who’s going on a missions trip this weekend and we were just talking and this is a whole can of worms, but he’s like, I’m just going to the trip to, and I know already that God’s already present in that place. God’s already moving, God’s already working, and I’m just available to come alongside and help whatever, whatever God’s doing. And that’s really the biggest thing that has shifted for me is just, okay, God, whatever you’re doing, I want to be a part of. And there’s such a piece in that.
Rachael Adams (21:34.273)
We can kind of ride these highs and lows a little bit. Like these feelings are like when we’re at church and worship and you just feel like the power of the Holy Spirit. Like there are those moments, those, but I think we have to be careful not to just chase those highs. Does that make sense? And I’m not really sure what I’m asking other than we do feel him, but it’s maybe more than that. And we can’t just always be on this mountain top with him chasing that. Does that make sense?
Jenny Randle (22:12.206)
You put it in words better than I did. That’s the lesson that I kind of walk through is that God is present everywhere and He’s moving within us and through us and all around us. And we do have, I guess we call them fillings if we want to like categorize it, those fillings of the Holy Spirit or those moments where God is, His presence is manifest, like His manifest presence, we could feel His tangible presence.
Jenny Randle (22:40.758)
And those are great, but we can’t always live in that mountaintop experience. We have to do the dishes. Like we have to bring the kids to school. And we’ve probably all encountered the people that are always living in that supernatural reality and they’re kind of weird. you know, like the Lord, the Lord, they’re using weird language and they’re talking about teleporting and all these things. And I’m like, I don’t just be human. I don’t know what you’re saying right now. But God meets us in our humanity and he’s yeah. So I could ramble for hours on that, but yes, yes and amen to what you’ve said. I agree with that.
Rachael Adams (24:05.601)
So for the woman listening who feels maybe spiritually dry or distant from God, what would you say to her about the Holy Spirit’s presence and power? How she can receive that into her life right now?
Jenny Randle (24:17.356)
Yeah, I like to pray every day like, Holy Spirit, I want to partner with what you’re doing. And it’s not that he needs my permit, like he doesn’t, he’s not waiting for me to say that, but it’s this constant reminder to myself, like, okay, God is present within me and wants to minister through me. So, or like, Lord, I invite you into my life in a greater capacity or whatever that prayer looks like. It’s like just being conscious that God is within me and available. So that awareness has really helped my walk in faith to when I feel those tugs from the Holy Spirit or I feel an urgency to speak into a friend’s life or whatever the case may be that we could attribute that to God, I’m not distracted as much by the busyness of the world or my to-do list. So just being aware and the greatest thing we can do in partnering and understanding who the Holy Spirit is in our life is just like, God, show me more of you. And receiving what he wants to do and then responding to it. That’s the hard part is responding when we feel those urgencies from the Holy Spirit. even like repentance, we should always be repenting. That’s very hard. But the Holy Spirit leads us into repentance because of Christ and there’s so much more than that, but I think we can always start there and then invite the Holy Spirit to develop Godly fruit within us and be aware of our spiritual gifts and be a part of the local church and open to using your gifts in the church and just walking that enduring faith that we talked about that was represented in Acts.
Rachael Adams (26:07.169)
Can the Holy Spirit leave us? I know you mentioned like in the Old Testament, him filling someone and then kind of leaving. that, if you’ve received the Holy Spirit as a Christian and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, is he always there with you or how does that work?
Jenny Randle (26:31.766)
I had a professor in seminary say, God is everywhere, He’s just everywhere differently. So the question you’re asking, if someone had a genuine conversion or salvation experience, whatever language we use to say that they’ve given their life to Christ, if that was genuine, then I would say the Holy Spirit is always within you. We can quench the Holy Spirit. The Bible says don’t quench the Holy Spirit. And I would say that’s like when you’re ignoring him, you know how we’re shocked when leaders like fall or have this huge moral failure and we’re like, how did that happen? And it’s it we shouldn’t be shocked because it’s the we ignore a call to repent or a small we were mean to our kids and we don’t say sorry, for example, and then we’re mean again and it gets easier, right? It gets easier to sin and ignore those urgencies from the Holy Spirit. And then your whole life explodes and you’re like, how did this happen? It happens because you weren’t abiding in Christ and responding to the work of the Holy Spirit in and through your life. So I don’t think if it’s a genuine conversion experience, I don’t think you can lose the Holy Spirit, but you can quench Him. And the remedy for that is just abiding in Christ and having an active faith and pursuing more of Him.
Rachael Adams (27:58.559)
Yeah, so good. You’ve answered some really tough questions, but I think that it’s so valuable because we’re all we’re all wondering and but I think it’s so important that we know these answers so that we’re able to help other people to understand and then we’re able to prevent some of the the things that we’ve been talking about as well and to increase our gifts in the way that we then react and in our relationships and within our church. So Jenny, is there a biblical concept of love that you think applies to this topic today?
Jenny Randle (28:29.454)
Yes, okay. So remember how I said Paul wrote about the gifts in Corinthians? There’s this passage. It’s so wild. It’s in 1 Corinthians 13, and he says, “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I’m a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” Imagine how annoying that would be in church if just all these things were happening. Cymbals were gonging. And then he’s like, “If I have prophetic powers and understand mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith as to remove mountains, but not love, I am nothing.” So he goes on and he describes what love is. So the greatest thing where I work, we teach through the gifts of the Spirit. And one of the best lessons is just talking about the love of God. And if you cannot operate, if you cannot receive His love and operate from that place, you’re just making a mess really is what you’re doing. So I love Paul’s reminder because it really takes a focus. Like it’s not about us. It’s just about like receiving God’s love and the natural byproducts of that is developing virtuous character, right? And having peace and joy and love. And then within that, it is operating in the gifts with integrity. So God’s love is a huge piece of that puzzle.
Rachael Adams (29:49.737)
Yeah, it goes back to like what is our motive in using all of these gifts and like who are we doing it for? Is it to glorify ourselves or is it to glorify him and to make him known? So good. Well, so Jenny, tell us something you are loving right now.
Jenny Randle (30:00.716)
So when we’re recording this, we’re in the summer season and I live in Amelia Island, Florida, which is Northeast Florida. And I am loving the beach so much. My kids are becoming little surfers and we just try to go every day and it is like, just fuels my soul. I look at the ocean and I’m like, okay, God is real. Like I already know it, but I know it. It’s just beautiful. So I love the beach and that’s my lifeline right now.
Rachael Adams (30:33.749)
How nice that you get to see it every day. I’m jealous. I get like maybe a week a year, but I do. I will. Is that an open invitation? Everybody’s like, yes, please Amelia Island sounds wonderful. well, yes. Honestly, anything that involves sunshine and water and seafood. ‘m in.
Jenny Randle (30:38.86)
Yeah, you should come visit! Yes.
Jenny Randle (30:53.81)
I’m not as adventurous as you then. I’m like, I’ll ignore the seafood, but I’ll go to the sea. We’re fine.
Rachael Adams (30:59.911)
Yes, yes. All right. Well, I know I want to stay connected with you. I’m sure listeners are going to want to they’re going to want to purchase a copy of this new Bible study. So tell us how we can best do that.
Jenny Randle (31:10.178)
Yeah, jennierandall.com is my website and the promise presence, all the info’s on there. And then I also work at the Holy Spirit Ministry Center, which we have tons of resources that help people be empowered and understand who the Holy Spirit is in their life.
Rachael Adams (31:25.257)
That is spelled J E N N Y R A N D L E and we will include that in the show notes. But as we start to come to a close, would you do us the honor of praying for us, please?
Jenny Randle (31:39.212)
Yes, I would love to. All right, Father God, I just lift up every person under the sound of my voice and I just thank you for their passion and their perseverance and their desire to know you more and to worship you, God. And I just pray for any woman that might be facing weariness right now. I pray in the name of Jesus that your presence meets her in that place and you remind her that she’s not alone. You are with her. You are lifting her off that bathroom floor. You are empowering her to continue to fulfill whatever it is you’ve asked this person to do, God. And I just thank you for that. And I pray for those that don’t know if they’ve understand your power, have had these experiences where they’ve been baptized with you, Lord, or whatever language they want to use. They want more of you, Holy Spirit. So God, I just pray right now, or maybe later when they’re praying or worshiping, whatever the case may be, God, I just pray that you overwhelm them with your presence, that they receive your power and your might and they experience what it looks like to walk in the gifts of the Spirit and to walk on mission for you and because of you, because you’ve given us the mandate to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. So I pray for that empowerment so we can take the gospel to our dining room table, Lord. Just fill us for the missions you have for us, God. And I thank you for that. And may we be so deeply rooted in your love that it’s just contagious. In the name of Jesus, we pray all these things. Amen.

Amen. Jenny, thank you. You handled some tough questions today, but I’m so thankful that you did and appreciate just your encouragement to spend some time with the Lord and to get to know the Holy Spirit and to really receive him and to allow him to work in our lives. So thank you so much.
