How the Church Buried the Truth About Tongues
from Faith Snacks · host Krist Adams
You’ve heard of speaking in tongues. But what if the Church itself tried to bury the truth about it?This deep-dive uncovers how the early Church Fathers wrestled with spiritual gifts, why miraculous expressions like tongues faded from public view, and how controversial doctrines—like cessationism—were born.From the explosive days of Pentecost to the suppressed revivals of history… from ancient manuscripts to modern movements… we’re connecting the dots the Church forgot—or ignored.And no, this isn’t just another surface-level theology talk. This is historical, cultural, and spiritual excavation.If you've ever asked “Why don’t we see tongues today?” or “Did God stop speaking?” — this is the episode.Get ready to rethink what you thought you knew. _______________________ CHAPTERS0:00 - Intro01:33 - What the Bible Actually Says About Tongues5:42 - What Happened After the Bible Closed?12:23 - Who Buried the Gifts — and Why?18:40 - Faith and Desire23:01 - Discerning The Source26:45 - The Modern Revival of Tongues34:10 - Between Belief And Experience_______________________👇 FREE handout with original source quotes: [https://www.kristadams.com/tongues-quotes-handout/] ❔Want to dive deeper?
