Encounter: Muriel Burk

Muriel jumped head first into the Pentecostal life at a young 9 years old after her parents encountered the Holy Spirit. She grew up thinking this exciting atmosphere of healing, deliverance and the presence of God was “the better way” of Christianity. But when she got to college and stepped outside her Pentecostal bubble, Muriel began to realize many of the non-Pentecostal Christians she met seemed to have a more Christ-like character than she did. Muriel shares her story of how God has since been recalibrating her faith to include not just the gifts but also the fruit of the Spirit, and ends with a powerful apology to anyone who has ever been made to feel “less than” by misguided or excited, yet insensitive Pentecostals. The truth is that ALL are invited into The More of God.
