Who Is the Holy Spirit? The Third Person of the Trinity Explained Simply

Many Christians can clearly describe the Father and the Son but feel uncertain about the Holy Spirit. In this Back to the Bible Daily episode Braden Pedersen explains who the Holy Spirit really is and what He does—living in believers, teaching and reminding us of Jesus’ words, convicting our hearts, producing spiritual fruit, interceding in prayer, and empowering us for obedience and witness. Listen to discover how the Spirit is not an impersonal force but a divine Helper given to dwell in you and enable the Christian life.


Read: Slowly read John 14:15–17, 26 twice, paying attention to words like “Helper,” “dwells,” “teach,” and “remind.”

Reflect: Ask yourself—Where am I trying to live by effort instead of depending on the Spirit? Which promise in this passage most needs to shape my day?

Respond (short prayer): Holy Spirit, teach me, remind me of Jesus’ words, convict where I need to change, produce your fruit in me, and empower me to obey and witness. Amen.

Reveal: Share the passage and one way the Spirit has helped you recently with a friend or family member; offer to read John 14 together and ask the Spirit to speak to both of you.
