Ep 125 // Spirit-Led and Set Apart: From Hollywood Dreams to Holy Callings with Jenny Randle

What if the missing link in your spiritual growth isn’t more striving… but more surrender to the Holy Spirit?

In this compelling conversation, Megan Nilsen sits down with Jenny Randle—author, speaker, and co-founder of the Holy Spirit Ministry Center—to unpack her incredible faith journey from the glitz of Hollywood to the quiet strength of Spirit-led living.

Jenny shares how her charismatic roots, career in entertainment, and eventual radical encounter with Jesus shaped her into the woman she is today. Together, they explore the role of the Holy Spirit as an active, personal guide—not a mystical force but a relational God who empowers, heals, and leads.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, spiritually dry, or hungry to hear God more clearly. Jenny reminds us that healing often comes through vulnerability, that repentance keeps our hearts tender, and that community is a crucial piece of transformation.

Key Takeaways:

Navigating faith in secular spaces

The role of repentance in personal growth
