Pentecost is Weird: And Why That Rocks, Actually.

About this episode

This episode explores the mystical aspects of Pentecost and the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church.

Pentecost is weirder than we usually let it be. In this episode, we’re keeping it simple and talking through three mystical and slightly strange things about Pentecost: the Holy Spirit as holy possession, the Holy Spirit as contagious joy, and Pentecost as the reversal of the Tower of Babel. This is not a giant theology lecture. Just a coffee-sipping reflection on fire, joy, language, and the strange beauty of the Holy Spirit dwelling within the Church. Come, Holy Spirit.
