This chapter examines Black women's Christian performance via contemporary television and the internet to gain insights into how screen audiences are invited to experience the Holy Spirit. It argues that in these moments, with Black women (and Black audience members and judges) performing, praising, and testifying, the Holy Spirit moves not only through the recorded, in-studio audience but also within screen audiences—both television viewers and internet users. And despite the justified rebuke of Black churches for their frequent dismissive dealings with women, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit allows for an exaltation of women in the revelation of the spirit.
