Reconnecting with Christ Through the Holy Spirit
In football, a quarterback wears a headset to hear the coach’s next play. But what happens when the signal goes out? Confusion. Missed opportunities. Mistakes. The same thing happens spiritually when believers are disconnected from their Head Coach—Jesus Christ. In Are You Coachable?, Larry Stirlen draws the powerful parallel between our walk with God and the communication breakdown that happens when we ignore the Holy Spirit, our “helmet speaker.”
Disconnection from the Coach leads to a silent huddle. God still speaks, but we’re not tuned in. The distractions of culture, compromise, or spiritual apathy mute His voice. Stirlen warns: many Christians have turned off their helmets completely. The result? Missed divine appointments, lost souls, and churches lacking direction.
When you’re connected, everything changes. The Holy Spirit highlights opportunities, opens hearts, and prepares you to act. You begin to see your workplace, neighborhood, and even your family differently—because you’re running God’s plays, not your own.
