278 - Holy Spirit Series: Episode 1 (with Tom O'Toole & Tim Simmonds)

In this brand new podcast series from the Broadcast Network, Tom O’Toole sits down with Tim Simmonds, senior pastor of Christ Church Manchester, to talk all things Holy Spirit. Together they reflect on past moves of God, including movements like the Toronto Blessing, and ask how the Church has generally changed since the 90s. What does it mean to lead when many younger leaders have never experienced a move of God in their lifetime? Tim shares his prophetic vision for “replumbing the house” so the Spirit can move freely, the lessons learned post-lockdown, and the importance of starting new prayer meetings, and giving them names. They also explore the charismatic/traditional church divide, their frustration with performative spirituality, and the challenge of building a multi-site church that genuinely serves different communities across Manchester.
