Fresh Oil—Cultivating Intimacy with the Holy Spirit with Pastor Chris Garcia

On this heartfelt and spirit-stirring episode of Daily Faith with Philip Cameron, Pastor Chris Garcia, author of Fresh Oil: Secrets to Intimacy with the Holy Spirit, shares a powerful journey of discovering the manifest presence of God—and how that presence continues to shape his life, ministry, and calling.

From a radical encounter with the Holy Spirit at just 12 years old, Chris’s life was forever marked by what he calls “liquid love”—the overwhelming weight and glory of God that drew him not just to church, but to Christ Himself. Now the pastor of House of Glory Church in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Chris has dedicated his life to helping others break through the noise of performance-driven religion and rediscover what it means to abide in Jesus.

Philip and Chris discuss how much of the modern church has become “cluttered,” losing the deep hunger for God’s presence. With programs and performance replacing passion and purity, the Church is in danger of missing the very essence of what we’re called to: abiding in the vine, cultivating the secret place, and being lovers of His presence.

This episode explores themes such as:

•How to cultivate a real and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit

•Why the secret place is the source of power, perspective, and peace

•What it means to host the presence of God in your home, your heart, and your church

•The role of surrender, simplicity, and dependence in growing spiritually

•Why now more than ever, the church must return to its first love—Jesus

Chris’s passion is contagious, and this conversation will call your heart back to intimacy, stillness, and the beauty of knowing Christ beyond religion. Whether you’re a pastor, worship leader, or just someone hungry for more of God, this episode is a timely reminder: His presence changes everything.
