A pentecostal and a person from the charismatic movement were in a room... it sounds like the beginning of a joke doesn't it? But I wonder what might surprise them about the other?

In this week's episode, Wolfgang Vondey generously enlightens us on that. We define what we mean by Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement and look at the etymology of these terms. We identify what makes them distinct from each other, but as you know, RE is messy so they don't fit into neat categories and boxes.
We look at misconceptions, history, the first pentecost, controversies and of course, how we can teach it authentically.

Wolfgang is so knowledgeable and it was a delight to have this chat and find out more about these distinct movements.

Ultimately, this is about telling stories and engaging in the stories of others. Enjoy!
