How Do You Get the Gift of Tongues & What’s the Point of Tongues, Anyway? (Spiritual Gifts Part 4)

How do you get the gift of tongues?  Do you have to pursue it?  Or do you just wait passively for God to give it to you?  Is everyone able to receive the gift of tongues or is it only for a select few?  And which of us sisters actually received the gift of tongues and which of us is still pursuing it?  Also, what exactly is the POINT of tongues, anyway!?

Today in our PART 2 of TONGUES (and third episode on the SPIRITUAL GIFTS) we answer ALL those questions and more as we share personal stories and other Christians' experiences of pursuing the gift of tongues.  We also dive deeper into what exactly the gift is for and how it can powerfully impact not only the believer and the church, but everyone in our lives -- and basically, the ENTIRE world.  Finally, we end the episode by praying for YOU to receive the gift of tongues yourself!  (And we even briefly share what speaking in tongues sounds like – if you haven’t heard it before.)
