Supernatural Power for Everyday People

“SUPERNATURAL POWER FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE: EXPERIENCING GOD’S EXTRAORDINARY SPIRIT IN YOUR ORDINARY LIFE SUPERNATURAL POWER FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE: EXPERIENCING GOD’S EXTRAORDINARY SPIRIT IN YOUR ORDINARY LIFE “Words like supernatural power and Holy Spirit, in our current cultural and religious moment, have been wielded and to some extent hijacked by pastors with big personalities and big money. Jared brings them back here—and brings us back here—to a simple, biblical, no-fluff look at the ‘supernatural power’ that changes ordinary, dirt-under-the-fingernails people like you and me. Jared’s writing is fluid and thoughtful, efficient and deep, and his theological voice on this subject is so refreshing. As I read Supernatural Power for Everyday People, I found myself worshiping as I read, not simply understanding. I found myself craving the Spirit more than His miracles, which is Jared’s intention, and it was enlightening for a very normal, hollow soul. Get it. No gimmicks, snakes, or gold dust here—just a real Jesus and a real gospel. Just real power for real people.”

Matt Papa

“Many of us wonder how our God is supposed to supernaturally work in our lives, but we are often confused by the mixed messages we hear in various Christian communities. Jared C. Wilson does well to convey how God supernaturally acts, if we merely submit to his will.”

Caleb Kaltenbach

“The word supernatural is often mistaken and misused in Christian circles. But in Supernatural Power for Everyday People, Wilson corrects the misnomers and rights the mistakes by revealing the supernatural being God reveals himself to be. The Bible is full of supernatural events and experiences that we should embrace and enjoy. Let’s live it.”

Greg Gilbert

“With his usual penetrating clarity, Jared C. Wilson describes the delusion of the dull-hearted faith, critiques the shallowness of the consumer-culture faith, and prescribes a pathway to a powerful faith with fresh reflections on everyday practices that awaken us to the Spirit’s work in our lives. This book will stir your desire to pursue your faith, guide you to nurture your faith, and encourage you to venture with faith into your everyday relationships.”

Geoff Folland

“There is just no way Jared C. Wilson—or anybody else—can speak with so much truth and grace as in these pages except by the power of the Holy Spirit. I found myself confronted and comforted time and time again while reading and desiring to live life more supernaturally and less dependent on my little strength and empty knowledge. I can’t wait to share the life-giving truths of this book with my church.”

Jairo Namnún

“Tired of slogging through your spiritual journey, back bent and jaw clenched? Yeah, me too. That’s why I found Jared C. Wilson’s latest book so refreshing. Jared reintroduces readers to the Holy Spirit, exposing the shenanigans perpetrated in his name, while also showing how the Spirit’s power is available to every believer for everyday life. If you’re hoping for some esoteric knowledge that will elevate you to an elite spiritual status, you’ll be disappointed. Jared argues that the Spirit’s work isn’t spooky or secretive. It’s to glorify Jesus and drive us deeper into the heart of the gospel. It’s there we find the power we need to live a fruitful, joyful Christian life.”

Drew Dyck

“Jared C. Wilson’s gritty, down-to-earth writing style endears itself to gritty, down-to-earth disciples—which is perfect, because that is where most of us find ourselves. I eagerly read this as a means to minister better to others, but suddenly found myself exposed, not only by Jared’s Biblical and pastorally shaped insight, but more importantly, by the living and active ministry of the Spirit. On this topic, this has become my new ‘go-to’ recommendation for everyday followers of Jesus who desire to walk in step with the Spirit.”

Chris Thomas

“As a pastor/church planter, this is the kind of book I’ve been looking for to put into the hands of my people. It is a book that will help people understand who the Spirit is and demystify a lot of confusion around this topic, while at the same time encouraging them to seek the power of the Holy Spirit. Jared challenges both the hyper-charismatic and the cessationist to find supernatural power in normal, even mundane, everyday living. Jared’s trustworthy writing is warm, relatable, and accessible and I would recommend Supernatural Power for Everyday People to anyone wanting to know how to live in step with the Spirit as they follow the way of Jesus.”

Lucas Parks

“Once again, Jared C. Wilson has written a book that not only serves my own soul, but one that I immediately want to get into the hands of others. If you’ve ever thought ‘there’s something missing in my Christian life,’ this book will assure you that nothing is missing—except maybe the ongoing awareness of all that God has provided in and through the person and work of his Spirit.”
