Steven Furtick explores the theme of life’s unpredictable but divinely inspired plot twists, using the metaphor of a ghostwriter - the Holy Spirit - writing our life stories. He delves into how the disciples dealt with the absence of Jesus after His ascension and their anticipation of the Holy Spirit, comparing this to personal moments of uncertainty and waiting. Pastor Steven illuminates the importance of trusting God’s overarching plan, even when we face seeming plot holes in our lives.
