How Do You Have a Relationship with the Holy Spirit?

How do you actually have a relationship with the Holy Spirit? In this episode of The EPIC Ministry Podcast, Dalton, Malcolm, and Ryan sit down for a conversation about the Holy Spirit — who He is, how He works in our lives, and what it means to personally grow in relationship with Him. For many Catholics, the Holy Spirit can feel mysterious or hard to understand. This episode is an invitation to move beyond simply knowing about the Holy Spirit and begin recognizing how He guides, strengthens, convicts, and speaks into our daily lives. Whether you are new to this part of your faith or trying to become more attentive to God’s presence, this conversation is for you. #EPICMinistryPodcast #HolySpirit #CatholicPodcast #CatholicFaith #RelationshipWithGod #YoungAdultFaith #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #SpiritualGrowth #CatholicYoungAdults #PrayerLife #FaithAndLife

In this series, we sit down with people in our community who model the fruits of the Holy Spirit in real and inspiring ways. For our first episode, Cee and Mark talk with Monica about the fruit of patience — what it looks like in everyday life, why it can be so difficult, and how God uses patience to shape us. This conversation is a reminder that patience is not just waiting quietly. It is learning to trust God, love others well, and remain faithful even when life does not move at our pace. #EPICMinistry #FruitsOfTheHolySpirit #Patience #CatholicFaith #CatholicPodcast #YoungAdultFaith #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #HolySpirit #ChristianLiving #CatholicCommunity #EPICMinistryPodcast

Why Does God Feel Distant? | What to Do When Faith Feels Dry

Why does God feel distant sometimes? In this episode of The EPIC Ministry Podcast, Malcolm, Cee, and Katy have a powerful and personal conversation about seasons when prayer feels dry, faith feels difficult, and God feels far away. They reflect on what it means to keep showing up when we do not feel close to God, how loneliness and life’s struggles can affect our spiritual life, and why distance from God does not always mean He has abandoned us. This episode is for anyone who has ever prayed and felt nothing, wondered where God was, or struggled to stay faithful when faith felt heavy. #EPICMinistryPodcast #GodFeelsDistant #CatholicPodcast #FaithJourney #PrayerLife #SpiritualDryness #CatholicYoungAdults #FaithAndLife #ChristianPodcast #LonelinessAndFaith #TrustGod #YoungAdultFaith
