At its best, this is a rightfully high view of the power of the Holy Spirit to deeply change us through encounter with him. To break strongholds over our lives, heal our memories, rewire our nervous systems, and touch our bodies. I’d go so far as to say any theory of change that doesn’t incorporate the need for moments of breakthrough will have only limited results. But at its worst, this is laziness, pure and simple, because it’s far easier to go to church once a week chasing a spiritual high and angle for a download from heaven than to do the daily, unglamorous work of discipleship.
