Please welcome your host, Brandon Queen.
Well, good morning, Podcast World, and welcome back to another episode of The Ear Podcast. I'm your host, Brandon Queen. And guess what? We're diving right back in to our series, Loving Your Muslim Neighbor. And believe it or not, this is almost coming to an end. We have three more episodes left. After this one, we have today we're going to be going through chapters 46 to 49. And
The appendix is going to be coming up soon, and I can't wait for that one. But anyway, let's dive on in. I have with us today Timothy Harris, the author of Loving Your Muslim Neighbor. How's it going, Tim? So well, man, and thanks again for having me. I always look forward to being with you.
I got to say, man, thank you so much for even doing a series with me. This is the first time I've actually covered an entire book without leaving any chapters out like the first time, which is amazing because that tells people, you know, that this book is worth reading. And I think everybody should pick it up and give it a shot. Read these stories and pray about how to deal with Muslim neighbors.
So that was awesome, man. Thank you so much for your time in that. Thank you, brother. We are so honored, man. All right, let's do it. All right. So let's talk about the first segment, the Holy Spirit and the Macaroon. I'm saying that wrong. The Holy Spirit and the Moroccan rug salesman. Let's talk about that. Let's do.
All right, so you titled that, I thought it was a pretty funny title, but you talk about strategies of the Holy Spirit versus strategies of the human doing its own thing instead of listening to the Holy Spirit. So how good would you say you may seem, and this is for you personally, Tim, by not using the Holy Spirit to advance the gospel?
man i tell you when when i just rely on you know different things even that are good things that god has given me it's just not it's not the same man i mean you know all of us are tempted to rely on uh human talents that god has given us or even our spiritual gifts that god has given us and uh or maybe our education um you know our personality And so sometimes we rely on all of that to witness.
And, you know, God wants to use each and every one of those things. But to depend upon them really is kind of, it's not just misguided, it's idolatrous. And so we need to rely on the Holy Spirit to give us the words and thoughts so that we can witness for Him in just, you know, in every moment.
