  • 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.
