52 - Is Speaking in Tongues Really a Thing?

Seacoast Church is a big tent that houses many Christians believing very differently on certain topics; and this is one of them.  The founding pastor, Greg Surratt, believes in the gift of tongues, practices it behind closed doors, and while many others on staff do as well, many do not.  Some do not believe it's actually a gift that is in effect during this current age of the church.   In today’s conversation with Chip Judd, Jack Hoey III, and Joey Svendsen, a few viewpoints are discussed but mainly the gift itself is dissected.  If it's a real spiritual gift, what even is it?  Is it God’s intention for everyone to have?  Are there times when people speak in tongues audibly but it’s just noises without the Holy Spirit’s involvement?  The three discuss these and other aspects of what many refer to as a heavenly language.   Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page  In this episodeJack Hoey III / InstagramChip Judd / Instagram Joey Svendsen / Instagram Lynne Stroy, host / Instagram Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, including theme song: Joel T.
