The Charismatic Church and Practices

Can I Say That?

Show Notes

Charismatics are defined as Christians who share with Pentecostals an emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit but who remain a part of a mainline church. Even so, the charismatic church is still often looked at as being "odd" or "untamed" by many who belong to non-demon/evangelical churches in the west. In this episode we talk with Annalise Southwood about her experience growing up in the charismatic church and ask some of our biggest questions about prophecy, speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit.
