In this week’s episode, we discuss the practice of speaking in tongues, how it is viewed by different groups in Christianity, and what is happening on a physiological and neurological level when someone speaks in tongues. We also reveal whether we have ever spoken in tongues ourselves!
Bible Verses:
Acts 2
1 Corinthians 12-14
