Hello and welcome! I’m Jonathan Gouthier, a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut and host of the Faith First Podcast. How do you fuel your life? Is is by your strength or the power of the Holy Spirit? In this episode, we’ll listen in to this message by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr on having a spirit-fueled life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why do so many of us walk around defeated
What is the Spirit's protection
Where the Spirit guides us as Children of God
How the Spirit instructs us in intimacy and identity

Many of us walk around just getting by beaten at the end of the day. We find ourselves exhausted, not due to strenuous work, but by the burdens we carry in our hearts and our minds. But we can hand it all over to God. Jesus said, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. That is what it looks like to live a Spirit-Fueled life.
