About this listen

 Is the Holy Spirit at work in your life? Are you longing for an authentic experience of his presence and power?

In his latest book, The Familiar Stranger, Tyler Staton draws on Scripture, tradition, and ancient spiritual practices to help you step into a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit and discover a fully alive spirituality.

Staton re-introduces this oft-neglected person of the Trinity, tracing the story of the Holy Spirit as it unfolds throughout the Bible, and inviting believers to close the gap between what Scripture reveals about the Holy Spirit and their lived experience.

The Familiar Stranger will challenge, inform and encourage Jesus-followers from every background to become more deeply acquainted with the person and work of the Holy Spirit - and experience his transformative, life-giving power in their lives.©2025 Tyler Staton Christian Living Christianity

Beautifully written and transformative book. Very helpful in giving me a greater understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. I’ve listened to the audio book twice and am now seeking to apply its truth in my life. I’ve purchased the book and plan to listen to the upcoming podcasts too. Highly recommended.

Outstanding book - highly recommend

The divine mixed with the dirt. How my soul needed this, or rather, how my soul needed to be reacquainted with my old friend. Thank you for the signposts back to the flame of love that is the Holy Spirit.

Reacquainted with my old friend!
