Hokan leads VS, Neville, Kain, and Render (and his shield guardian M.I.C.H.A.E.L.), along with paladin of Mystra Valorean, in a search for the evil wizard Sikhil and his associate Chingis in the Salt Mine Seclusium. They explore some tunnels, investigate some strange machinery, tangle with the Yellowbone Goblins a bit, and eventually end up on the lower levels of the complex. In a large pool, they fight some aquatic ghouls, and then eventually find the lair of Chingis and the lich-aspirant diviner Sikhil (and their pet ogre). Render gets banished to a maze demiplane, which drives M.I.C.H.A.E.L. crazy. Chingis drops Hunger of Hadar on the Party, Sihkil drops a Fireball, Neville turns invisible and drops Darkness on Sikhil, who teleports across the room to cause more havoc. With several players on the edge of death, they manage to defeat Sikhil and Chingis and claim some spellbooks, a Robe of Tongues, a Crossbow of Whispers, and a few other items and treasure. Valorean guides them back to town where they can recover from their adventures for a while.

Send us a textThe biblical gift of tongues has become one of the most misunderstood and controversial spiritual manifestations in modern Christianity. This episode dives deep into the stark contrast between authentic biblical tongues and what we witness in many charismatic churches today.When we examine Scripture closely, we discover that biblical tongues involved speaking actual human languages that the speaker had never learned—a miraculous sign gift that served a specific evangelistic purpose. Today's practice, however, typically features repetitive, unintelligible utterances that correspond to no known language. This fundamental disconnect raises serious questions about what's really happening in these spiritual experiences.The conversation tackles several key contradictions in modern tongues teaching. If speaking in tongues truly provides spiritual benefits by building up believers and helping others understand God's message, how could it ever be "abused" or practiced "too much"? And why do the most extraordinary manifestations always seem to occur in faraway, unverifiable locations?We explore how Romans 8:26, often cited to support a "prayer language," actually describes something quite different—the Holy Spirit making "groanings too deep for words" that cannot be uttered. This passage offers profound comfort by assuring believers that when we lack words to pray, the Spirit perfectly intercedes according to God's will.What's ultimately at stake here is biblical fidelity. When practices without scriptural foundation become elevated as essential spiritual experiences, they create division, confusion, and sometimes spiritual manipulation. They can distract from the genuine work of Christian discipleship—prayer, Bible study, fellowship, and serving others in tangible ways.Join us as we navigate this challenging topic with both biblical clarity and pastoral sensitivity, helping believers discern authentic spiritual gifts from counterfeit experiences.Support the show

Send us a textTruth is sometimes painful, especially when it involves reassessing a preacher you once admired. My journey with Philip Anthony Mitchell began with genuine enthusiasm for his fiery preaching style that seemed to ignite spiritual passion. His practical applications of Scripture resonated with me deeply, and I found myself cheering for his ministry's success.The first warning sign appeared when Mitchell gave $50,000 to a follower who had relocated his entire family just to attend Mitchell's church. While concerning, this gesture alone wasn't definitive. However, when I encountered Mitchell's teachings on speaking in tongues, I faced the difficult realization that his doctrine fundamentally undermines the sufficiency of Scripture.Speaking in tongues as practiced in many charismatic circles today suggests that God's revelation remains open—that the Bible alone is insufficient. Yet Scripture provides clear filters for evaluating such claims. First Corinthians 14:15 establishes that prayer should be both spiritual and comprehensible: "I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with understanding also." First Thessalonians 5:17 commands believers to "pray without ceasing." Together, these verses reveal that authentic Christian prayer is spiritual, understandable, and continuous.The biblical record shows genuine tongues appearing only three times in Scripture, exclusively among the apostles, serving a specific purpose during that foundational era. What many call "tongues" today bears little resemblance to this apostolic gift, which involved speaking actual human languages the speaker had never learned.This painful discovery reminds us that acknowledging false teaching doesn't necessarily mean someone isn't a believer. Many sincere Christians teach incorrect doctrine through insufficient study or understanding. However, as Paul warned, "a little leaven leavens the whole lump"—seemingly minor theological errors can corrupt an entire belief system.Have you experienced the disappointment of discovering concerning doctrine from a teacher you once trusted?

Send us a textThe controversial gift of speaking in tongues continues to divide churches and create confusion among believers. But what if much of what we've been taught about this spiritual practice contradicts what Scripture actually teaches?In this eye-opening episode, we dig deep into the biblical evidence surrounding tongues, challenging popular charismatic teachings that have transformed this gift into something unrecognizable from its New Testament origins. Our panel of Bible teachers meticulously examines statements from prominent minister Philip Anthony Mitchell, who claims tongues is "designed to help the one with the gift" and constitutes a "heavenly language" unknown to humans.Through careful analysis of key passages like 1 Corinthians 14 and Acts 2, we uncover that the Greek word "glossalia" simply means languages—actual human languages that were supernaturally given to the apostles so they could communicate the gospel across linguistic barriers. Far from being a private spiritual enhancement tool, tongues served as a sign to unbelieving Jews that God was extending His message to the Gentiles.We also explore Paul's clear instruction that believers should "pray with the spirit and with understanding also," challenging the notion that speaking unintelligible utterances fulfills God's purpose for prayer. When Christians feel inadequate because they don't "speak in tongues" or when churches teach that lacking this manifestation means you haven't truly received the Holy Spirit, they create division based on extra-biblical requirements.Are you seeking truth about spiritual gifts? Do you want to understand what God's Word actually teaches about tongues? Join us for this compelling examination that will equip you to discern sound doctrine from dangerous delusion.Support the show

Send us a textThe belief that speaking in tongues represents a special "prayer language" for believers has become widely accepted in many churches—but is it actually biblical? This challenging episode confronts this popular teaching head-on, examining what Scripture actually says versus what has become common doctrine.When Paul mentions "tongues of angels" in 1 Corinthians 13, what did he really mean? Our discussion reveals he wasn't claiming to speak angelic languages, but rather using hypothetical language to emphasize that even the most impressive spiritual gifts are meaningless without love. This crucial contextual understanding prevents misinterpretation of a frequently cited passage.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we consider the purpose of tongues in light of the completed canon. With Scripture now available worldwide in countless languages, what function would modern-day tongues serve that isn't already fulfilled through God's written word? As one participant acknowledges, believers are "fully equipped" through Scripture alone, making additional spiritual manifestations unnecessary.We also explore the problematic relationship between dispensationalism and charismatic theology, arguing that when people abandon sound doctrine, they inevitably substitute subjective experiences for biblical authority. This leads to a provocative examination of salvation itself—challenging the common notion of human free will and proposing that true free will would require moral indifference, something impossible for fallen humans naturally inclined toward sin.Have you ever questioned whether your theological understanding comes from Scripture or tradition? Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that will have you examining the biblical foundations of what you believe and why you believe it.Support the show

Send us a textThe paradox of faith has always been that it calls us to do what makes no logical sense. As believers, we're commanded to preach life to the spiritually dead, to speak to stones, and to follow God's direction even when circumstances suggest futility.The conversation begins with a powerful truth: you are either dead in sin or alive in Christ—there is no middle ground. This reality frames an important question: if people are spiritually dead, why evangelize at all? Critics of election doctrine often challenge, "If God has already chosen who will be saved, why preach?" The answer lies in biblical precedent.When Jesus went to Lazarus's tomb, those around him questioned the logic. "He's already dead," they said. Yet Christ commanded life where there was none. When Moses stood at the edge of the Red Sea, there was no rational reason to believe passage was possible until God intervened. David facing Goliath with a sling made no tactical sense—yet God worked through these seemingly foolish methods.Faith, as one participant beautifully expresses, "makes you believe the unbelievable." Our responsibility isn't to evaluate God's commands based on probability of success, but simply to obey. This obedience often takes us to uncomfortable places where human reasoning would tell us to turn back.The discussion explores how pride becomes the main obstacle to embracing biblical truth. When confronted with sound doctrine that contradicts long-held beliefs, many resist because acknowledging error requires humility. Few want to admit they've been wrong for decades. Yet true Christianity is meant to be systematic and interconnected—the very word "religion" means "to be knit together."Through examples like Jonah's story and Peter's confession, the conversation highlights God's absolute sovereignty in salvation. Even instances of rebellion ultimately serve His perfect purposes. In closing, the participants examine how spiritual experiences must align with biblical truth to avoid turning the gospel into mere emotional spectacle.What impossible situation are you facing today? Remember that faith calls us beyond human reasoning into divine paradox—where we believe the unbelievable because God commands it.Support the show

The spiritual gifts of prophecy and speaking in tongues remain powerfully relevant for believers today, functioning to build up the church body rather than to elevate individuals.• Spiritual gifts must be understood within the context of 1 Corinthians 11-15, which frames them within the gospel message• Different church backgrounds and denominational teachings can create filters that limit our understanding and receptivity to spiritual gifts• The Holy Spirit's gifts are given "for the profit of all" and to help each other, not for individual superiority• Speaking in tongues manifests in three primary ways: as unknown languages understood by hearers, as messages requiring interpretation, and as personal prayer languages• The gift of prophecy strengthens, encourages, comforts, and can provide guidance, correction, and awareness of spiritual realities• Love must be the foundation and motivation for all spiritual gift operation• Spiritual gifts should function "decently and in order" as God is not a God of confusion• Personal testimonies of experiencing these gifts can happen organically even without prior teaching"Holy Spirit overrule in my life that I will never quench the fire that you have caused to burn. Let me never pour water on wood that you want to ignite. I pray that you will come unquenched into my heart and stay there without any hindrance from me."

Are tongues still used now? Can I use tongues in prayer?

Two of the most important things about you are: what you yield to and, what you resist.Let's be people who yield to the Spirit and stand strong against anything that doesn't align with God's Word! 

Send us a textWhen Ruth gleaned from the fields of Boaz, she prefigured something profound about how believers should approach the riches of God's Word today. This compelling discussion dives deep into what biblical tongues truly were and why modern charismatic interpretations often miss the mark.The conversation begins with the beautiful story of Ruth - a Gentile woman who faithfully gathered grain from the fields of her future kinsman-redeemer. This narrative serves as a perfect metaphor for how we should approach Scripture, gathering spiritual nourishment with humility and gratitude.At the heart of this episode is a clarification about tongues in the early church. By examining Acts 2, the speakers demonstrate that the miracle of Pentecost wasn't incomprehensible speech but rather that people heard the gospel "in their own language wherein they were born." This crucial insight changes everything about how we understand this spiritual gift - tongues were actual languages serving an evangelistic purpose, not the ecstatic utterances common in many charismatic churches today.The discussion takes a fascinating historical turn with the mention of Montanism, a second-century movement featuring ecstatic speech that church leaders rejected as unbiblical. This historical perspective reveals that controversies over speaking in tongues aren't new - similar practices have emerged periodically throughout church history.Most powerfully, the conversation emphasizes the Holy Spirit's true work in believers' lives: guiding them to Scripture and testifying about Christ. As one participant notes, "The Holy Spirit entered into them and he will never leave them. He will always lead them to the word of God, not to some ecstatic gibberish that profits nothing." This perspective challenges the notion that speaking in tongues is necessary for salvation or evidence of spiritual maturity.Whether you've been curious about tongues, confused by charismatic practices, or simply seeking deeper biblical understanding, this episode offers clarity, historical context, and scriptural guidance on a often misunderstood topic. Listen now to discover why God's Word alone is sufficient for equipping believers "thoroughly unto all good works."Support the show

Send us a textThe church age arrived with fire and tongues, but have we misunderstood what these powerful symbols truly represent? In this thought-provoking conversation, we dig deep into the biblical understanding of speaking in tongues, challenging many popular misconceptions that have taken root in modern Christianity.Our panel examines 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul explicitly states that "tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers." This fundamental teaching stands in stark contrast to many contemporary practices where tongues are presented as evidence of salvation or spiritual maturity. We explore how the apostles—described as "ignorant and unlearned men"—were miraculously enabled to speak languages they had never studied, confirming their message to the diverse crowd at Pentecost.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss tongues as a reversal of Babel. At Babel, God confused languages and scattered humanity; at Pentecost, He used the gift of languages to begin gathering people from all nations into the unified body of Christ. Panel members share their personal experiences visiting churches where tongues are practiced without biblical guidelines, creating the very confusion Paul warned against when he wrote that "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace."We also address common misinterpretations, particularly the claim that Romans 8:26-27 describes a "prayer language" of tongues. As we examine the actual text about "groanings which cannot be uttered," we discover this passage has been significantly misunderstood. The discussion concludes with a beautiful typological connection between Leviticus 23:22 and the spread of the gospel from Jerusalem to the "corners" and finally to the Gentiles, revealing God's masterful plan of redemption that embraces all nations.Join us for this illuminating conversation that will challenge you to examine Scripture more carefully and discover the true purpose behind the spiritual gifts God has provided to His church.Support the show

Send us a textThe rushing wind of Pentecost marked more than just a powerful spiritual moment—it signaled the birth of the Church and the authentication of God's messengers for a new era. This thought-provoking conversation explores what exactly happened when "tongues like fire" descended upon the apostles and why this matters for believers today.Throughout Scripture, God established a pattern of authenticating His messengers through miraculous signs. Moses performed wonders before Pharaoh, Elijah called down fire on Mount Carmel, and Christ Himself performed miracles to validate His divine identity. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit continued this tradition by empowering the apostles—specifically identified as Galileans—to speak in actual languages they had never learned.Diving into the Greek text, we discover that "glossalia" refers to real human languages, not ecstatic utterances. This gift served a practical purpose in the infancy of the Church: spreading the gospel across language barriers and providing divine guidance before the New Testament was complete. The evidence suggests these gifts were imparted solely through the apostles' hands, pointing to their temporary nature.Today's believers have something far more accessible and permanent—the complete Word of God available in virtually every language on Earth. The spiritual gifts that once authenticated the apostolic message have fulfilled their purpose, giving way to the "more excellent way" Paul described. Rather than seeking ecstatic experiences, we find God's voice in Scripture and His presence through the indwelling Spirit.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is how it encourages believers to examine Scripture objectively rather than relying on emotional experiences. By understanding the historical context and purpose of spiritual gifts, we can appreciate God's wisdom in providing exactly what His church needed at each stage of its development.How might your understanding of spiritual gifts change if you approach them through the lens of their original purpose rather than modern expectations? Join us as we separate biblical truth from cultural assumptions and discover a deeper appreciation for God's perfect design in building His church.Support the show

Send us a textWhat if everything you thought you knew about speaking in tongues was built on a misunderstanding of Scripture? This provocative episode dives deep into one of the most controversial spiritual experiences in modern Christianity.We explore the historical and biblical context of Pentecost, revealing how the gift of tongues served as divine authentication that the Holy Spirit had arrived just as Jesus promised. By examining the original Greek text and historical context, we uncover that biblical tongues were actual human languages—not ecstatic utterances—enabling the apostles to communicate the gospel to people from fourteen different nations, each hearing the message in their native tongue.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we consider why these gifts were necessary in the first place. Just as Christ performed miracles to authenticate His identity and mission, the Holy Spirit's arrival was authenticated through miraculous signs. But here's the challenging question: if Christ doesn't need to repeatedly fulfill Passover through multiple crucifixions, why would the Holy Spirit need to repeatedly fulfill Pentecost?Listeners will gain fresh insights into 1 Corinthians 13's teaching about the cessation of certain gifts and why the completed Word of God, illuminated by the indwelling Spirit, provides everything needed for spiritual growth today. Whether you've personally experienced speaking in tongues or simply want to understand this phenomenon better, this episode offers a thoughtful biblical perspective that prioritizes Scripture over experience.The raw honesty of this discussion might challenge deeply-held beliefs, but it does so with the conviction that truth matters more than tradition. What spiritual experiences are you building your faith upon?Support the show

The spiritual practice of speaking in tongues –a form of communication with the divine through speaking words in an unknown or unrecognizable language– has invited a lot of speculation and skepticism over the years. To many, it seems like the stuff of horror movies, or old-timey religious revivals. But charismatic Christianity, for which speaking in tongues is a central practice, is one of the fastest growing Christian movements in modern history.  So why has it not only persisted, but recently gained momentum? What exactly is happening to the mind and body when people engage in this practice? We'll talk to anthropologist Josh Brahinsky about his years researching people taking part in this practice, why it's far less rare and extreme than many people think, and how neuroscience is showing real changes in the brain that point to tongues as an effective method of prayer and even mindfulness. We'll also talk to Shavon Gartrell about what it feels like to let go, drop in and give her tongue to God.Josh Brahinski has been studying charismatic communities for two decades. Find out about his forthcoming book Tongues of Fire: How Charismatic Prayer Changes Brains And Inspires Spirit-Filled Activism here, and read his academic publications here. Shavon Gartrell is a youth pastor at Glad Tidings Church in San Francisco.
