Ep 86 | Listening to the Promptings of the Holy Spirit with Kyle Pierpont
38 minutes Posted Jan 14, 2026 at 2:43 pm.
In this episode of the Rules & Tools Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Pierpont to talk about what it really looks like to live a Holy Spirit–led life. From learning how to hear God’s promptings to walking in obedience even when it feels uncomfortable, Kyle shares powerful stories from his family, childhood, and ministry experiences. We discuss why God designed us to live in community and team, how hurt and fear can cause us to hold back, and what it means to stop quenching the Holy Spirit. Through stories of praying for strangers, unexpected ministry moments (yes—even in Taco Bell), and learning humility, this conversation invites believers to move beyond passive faith and into active surrender. If you’ve ever wondered why hearing God feels difficult, how to discern the Spirit’s voice, or what it truly means to give God the wheel, this episode will encourage you to take the next step in following Jesus wholeheartedly.Chapters:
