Hey everyone good afternoon hope you're doing well it is trail talk

addition of the conversations that matter podcast today it's a bit misty and

rainy out which means that the park that I'm at right now, which is about 25 minutes from my home,

doesn't have a lot of people.

And I love coming here, especially when there's not a lot of people.

And I have something to say today, so I thought perfect for a trail talk so I want to

follow up on the video that I made on Monday the interview that I did with Joel Webbin and Andrew Rappaport and we talked a lot about

I guess so the sign gifts speaking in tongues

charismatic stuff and some people thought well the title was about word of faith

you didn't really talk about that much and no we didn't that's true I don't think the conversation got derailed, it's just that's the way it flowed and and that's what long-form conversation often is is you're playing off each other and and so Joel and Andrew shared their

for those who didn't see it shared their testimonies and included in their testimonies was going through a phase of

Word of faith teaching and being influenced by that and then coming to a more

reformed understanding of the Bible and Christianity.

So I think that was helpful.

I wanted them to share that they have experiences that I don't have but someone did point out and I thought it was worth sharing with you I've had some messages and some comments along these lines that the arguments against using experience as a guide as opposed to the

Bible relied on stories or experience. And I thought, you know, that that's a it's a shrewd observation and

that's one of the reasons I wanted to make this video I don't think that's completely

true obviously we did talk about some biblical things. We did talk about 1st

Corinthians 13 primarily. But yeah there was a lot of sharing, hey here's my

experience and and so I have some Yeah, there was a lot of sharing, hey, here's my experience.

And so I have some things to share about this.

I do think experience is important, actually.
