In this episode, we answer listener questions and dive into spiritual gifts, the charismatic movement, and the sufficiency of Scripture. Are tongues and prophecy still for today? What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit? How should Christians think about modern prophets? We also address questions about female deacons, the age of the earth, and Romans 9. This is a thoughtful, biblical conversation aimed at strengthening discernment and pointing believers back to the authority of God’s Word.

What are spiritual gifts? Is the New Apostolic Reformation biblical? We're cutting through the noise to answer the questions people actually ask about the Charismatic Church. Join Brett from the A Lot of Words podcast and Pastor Matt Smith as they dive into hot topics like speaking in tongues, faith healing, prophecy, and the teachings of figures like Bill Johnson. If you've ever wondered about the modern charismatic movement, this is the conversation you need to hear.

Immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues in our culture today. But what does the Bible actually say about borders, nations, and loving the foreigner?

In this episode, Pastor Brett and Pastor Matt examine whether Scripture supports open borders or if Christians are misapplying biblical commands in modern political debates. We explore the Old Testament commands to care for the stranger, the moral distinction between legal and illegal immigration, and whether national sovereignty is consistent with God’s design.

Does compassion cancel law?

Are modern nations comparable to Israel? Can a Christian support border enforcement and remain faithful to Scripture?

Rather than repeating partisan talking points, we open the Bible and think carefully about how believers should approach immigration with both truth and mercy.

If you’re looking for biblical clarity in a divided culture, this conversation is for you.
