I'm using Spacemacs for clojure development and have gotten used to the vim commands mostly. However, when I start up a Repl I would like to only use holy mode with insert mode. Does anyone know how/if this can be done?

By holy mode, do you mean the normal emacs mode?
If so, you can easily switch between the two with C-z.
EDIT. To automate this for a specific mode, try using evil-set-initial-state.
I'm not familiar with REPLs, but maybe this can help. I use the following to switch to emacs bindings when using org-brain. Replace 'org-brain-visualize with the mode you use in the REPL.
(with-eval-after-load 'evil
(evil-set-initial-state 'org-brain-visualize-mode 'emacs))
This should go in the user-config part of your .spacemacs file.

Yes, I believe in spacemacs the two modes are Evil vs Holy. And you're right, switching is fairly easy as it is, but I would like to start a Repl in Holy mode (emacs bindings) by default, but have all other buffers use Evil mode as default. Commented May 28, 2018 at 8:36

I think you could use
evil-set-initial-state. I'll try and edit my answer.– EFLSCommented May 28, 2018 at 11:26
