 "question": "How would you explain to a friend how the power of the Holy Spirit works in a believer’s life? What Scriptures would you use to back your claims?",
 "answer": "Ask your friend where they turn for strength when they feel weak or inadequate, and let them share honestly before you point them anywhere. Then walk together through Zechariah 4:6, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, and 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 to show that God's power is not by human might or power but by His Spirit, that it is perfected in our weakness, and that we are clay pots carrying His light, so that grace works precisely through our inadequacy.",
