Behind the Mike: Conversations of Hope

What do you do when God feels silent? On Holy Saturday, we sit in the in-between — after the cross but before the resurrection. It's a day of silence, grief, and waiting. But silence doesn't mean absence.In today's Passion Week devotional, Mike Stone shares a powerful message about trusting God in the waiting. When the miracle hasn't come yet, and hope seems buried, Silent Saturday reminds us that God is still at work — even in the tomb. If you're feeling stuck between prayer and breakthrough, this message is for you.

Today is Good Friday—the most somber and powerful day in Passion Week.

Welcome to Day 5 of Passion Week on Behind the Mike! Today, we walk through the powerful and emotional events of Thursday—a day filled with love, betrayal, and surrender.This was the night of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed His disciples' feet, predicted His betrayal, and instituted the Lord's Supper.

Have you ever witnessed the mysterious practice of speaking in tongues and pondered its significance for modern believers? Together with my co-hosts Dave and Dewey, and drawing from my Assemblies of God roots, we tackle the profound nuances of this spiritual expression. We dissect the weighty claim that speaking in tongues is a benchmark of Holy Spirit baptism and how this shapes one's perception of spiritual fulfillment. Through a tapestry of personal anecdotes and theological musings, this conversation seeks to unravel whether this charismatic phenomenon is a hallmark of divine intimacy or a misinterpreted aspect of faith.The episode wades through the scriptural sea of speaking in tongues, scrutinizing its original context during Pentecost and Cornelius's encounter, and juxtaposing it against the present-day practice. We shed light on the implications of such experiences and why they should never overshadow the foundation of scriptural truth. As we thread these discussions, the emphasis is on embracing the Gospel's inclusivity and fostering unity amidst Christianity's rich tapestry of worship expression. We invite you to join in on this exploration, share your insights, and enrich the discourse with your unique perspective as we navigate these complex and deeply spiritual waters.Support the showMORE ABOUT THE PODCAST:Behind The Mike website:https://BehindTheMikePodcast.comEmail:Mike@BehindTheMike.netSUPPORT THE SHOWSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:Covenant EyesGet 30-days FREE using promo code: BEHINDTHEMIKEhttps://covenanteyes.comWatch these podcasts on YouTube!Follow Us!YouTube: @behindthemikepodcastInstagram: @behindthemikepodcastTikTok: @behind_the_mike_podcastFacebook: @behindthemikepodcast
