Most people relate to the Holy Spirit in one of two extremes — He's either everything or He's nothing. Pastor Jerimy Kanaday says there's a healthier, more biblical way.

In Week 2 of Pillars: Relationships That Build a Meaningful Life, Pastor Jerimy unpacks what it actually means to have a relationship with the person of the Holy Spirit — not just a theology of Him, but a living, ongoing connection with Him.

He identifies three types of people in every church:

The Curious — wide open, childlike, but vulnerableThe Cautious — grounded in orthodoxy, but prone to cynicismThe Contender — passionate and bold, but at risk of pride

And three relational aspects of the Holy Spirit every believer needs:

His Fellowship — ongoing conversation, not obligated transaction

His Fruit — the person you're becoming, not just the things you're doing

His Fire — the baptism of power that keeps you burning long, not just hot

"The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It's the person you become." — Dallas Willard

"Spirit-filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles." — Samuel Chadwick

"You need his fellowship. You need his fruit. But you know what else you need? His fire." — Pastor Jerimy Kanaday
