My dear friend Brenda Holley joins me again to discuss how she gained a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit during her journey of fighting to overcome pancreatic cancer. Brenda is a master coach, helping professionals thrive in their careers. She and Paul have been married for eighteen years. She is mom to two adult sons. 

Prior to her diagnosis, Brenda wasn’t seeking God even though she believed in Him. Receiving a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer put her right back into the Presence of God. While she’d learned about the Holy Spirit years ago, she’d never heard His voice.

In this episode, Brenda describes two experiences where hearing the Holy Spirit’s voice encouraged and strengthened her. 

 

Notable quotes from this episode with Brenda Holley: 

·         “I was praying to God one day. And I said, ‘I know that it’s a big task to overcome this particular kind of tumor.’ And He said, ‘It’s not too big for Me.’”

·         “It’s a blessing of God to have a long life.”

·         “I don’t think I will ever refer to this as a gift . . . however, the gifts that I’ve been given are clarity, a refocus on what is important, so that to me certainly means my walk with God and my desire to give back.”

·         “We don’t need to be moved by what we see. We need to be motivated by what we believe.”

 

Bible verse: 

·         Romans 8:11 “And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.”

·         1 Thessalonians 5:23 “My body and mind will be sound and in tact all the days of my life.”

·         Psalm 91:16 “With long life God satisfies me and shows me His salvation.”
