  • Tongues

    I have been listening to this podcast from before it was called Slow Theology. I cannot tell you how helpful and encouraging and healing the episode on tongues was for me today. Gosh. Praise God. (I realize this isn’t a review on the whole podcast, which is so so so good, but I don’t know how to share this any other way and want to make sure that you know how meaningful it was.)

ST68: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology
Q: Nijay, why did you write this? What was the main heart? What was the affection that led to your desire to write on affection?
I wrote this book because I think modern Christianity has a love problem, and I wanted to redirect the focus back to the origin of the gospel, which is God's love for us.

It's important to listen to their story and understand their trauma, but sometimes it is okay for them to step away from the environment that harmed them, without abandoning their relationship with God or the church.
