In this Faith and Family Catholic Bible Podcast episode, Steve Wood explores two approaches to the Holy Spirit and Confirmation. Drawing from the teachings of St. Paul in Galatians, he discusses how we can live the Christian life empowered by the Holy Spirit. He addresses a common misunderstanding regarding Confirmation, emphasizing that it should be seen as a doorway, not a destination—a lifelong journey with the Holy Spirit. Steve reflects on Pope Benedict XVI’s powerful message to Catholic youth, urging them to awaken and embrace the grace of Confirmation for a transformative, Spirit-filled life. Tune in for practical insights on how to continually grow in the Holy Spirit and live out your faith.

In today's episode, your host Steve Wood describes what will lead to a transformed, empowered Christian life that will not fall away.
