I thought They Were CRAZY and then I Became One of Them!

I thought THEY were crazy…then I became one of them! 😂

My husband and I once walked into a Pentecostal church, heard people speaking in tongues, looked at each other, and basically thought, “We need to get out of here!”

So how did I eventually end up sitting alone on my living-room floor, Bible open, tears pouring down my face…doing the very thing I once thought was crazy?

Oh friend, that's a story.

In Episode 14 of Real Talk with Rosie, we're continuing Step Two of 12 Steps to Freedom:

“Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”

I was still trying to figure out who God really was. Then an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader invited me to church because she wanted me to check out a man she was interested in.

I went to check out HER man…and God used that day to lead me closer to MY Savior.

What happened next challenged things I had been taught, frightened me enough to send me searching through Scripture, and became another turning point in my relationship with Jesus.

But I want to make something very clear:

Speaking in tongues did not make me more special, more spiritual, or more saved than another believer. Jesus saves.

This is my testimony, not a formula for yours.

Don't chase my experience. Chase Jesus.

Don't seek a gift because you want to feel special. Seek the Giver.

And if you've ever been skeptical about the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, speaking in tongues—or you've simply wondered whether there might be more of God than you've experienced—I especially want you to hear this story.

I especially like this description better than our original one because it matches what we just discovered about your episodes: don't explain everything—make them want to hear the story.
