Join us as trusted Bible teacher O. S. Hawkins introduces us to the Holy Spirit: God in us, with us, and for us! By unlocking the code of how the Spirit worked in the first-century church, we can understand how God longs to work in our communities and hearts today. It is He who convicts, converts, commends, commands, consoles, and ultimately completes us. The Holy Spirit is an essential part of our faith journeys—God alive in each of us!
A false gospel of Marxism permeates today’s cultures, classrooms, and even churches—placing increasing pressure on Christians who hold to biblical authority. Drawing on insights from Scripture, history, and the persecuted church, Patricia Engler will help everyday Christians understand and respond to these realities from the foundation of God’s Word beginning in Genesis.
Dr. O. S. Hawkins is Chancellor and Senior Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He preaches in churches and conferences across the nation. He is the former pastor of the historic First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, and is President Emeritus of GuideStone Financial Resources, the world's largest Christian-screened mutual fund, where he served as President/CEO from 1997 to 2022. He is a native of Fort Worth, Texas, is a graduate of Texas Christian University (BBA) and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv, PhD). Dr. Hawkins is the author of more than 50 books including the bestselling "Code Series" with over two million in print, including The Joshua Code: 52 Scripture Verses Every Believer Should Know, The Bible Code: Finding Jesus in Every Book in the Bible, The Christmas Code: Daily Devotionals Celebrating the Advent Season, and The Easter Code: A 40-Day Journey to the Cross.
Patricia Engler is a Christian apologetics speaker, author, and podcast host for Answers in Genesis. She joined AiG–Canada as a speaker, writer, and youth outreach coordinator in 2019 before transferring to AiG–US in 2022. She also serves as an Answers News panelist and cohosts Zero Compromise, AiG’s podcast for young adults. After graduating from homeschooling and earning a BSc degree, Patricia backpacked 360 degrees around the world in 180 days documenting how Christian students keep their faith at university. The top takeaways from this research are available in Patricia’s book, Prepare to Thrive: A Survival Guide for Christian Students. In 2022, she embarked on a second backpacking journey to research Marxism’s history and consequences in Europe. Both backpacking trips formed the basis for separate teaching series available on Patricia’s blog. Patricia is now pursuing an MA in bioethics to help Christians think biblically about sanctity of life issues and emerging technologies.
