You don’t have to be Pentecostal to receive the gift of tongues. And you’re not less spiritual just because you still have questions.

Overview:
In this heartfelt and clarifying episode, Heather O’Brien sits down with guest Donna Quarles to talk about speaking in tongues — especially for those who didn’t grow up in churches where it was taught. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this biblical?”, “Why haven’t I received it yet?”, or “Am I faking it if I just say syllables?” — this episode gives you permission to ask, process, and pursue with faith.
Heather shares her own “mirror moment” and the freedom that came from understanding what this gift really is — and what blocks us from receiving it.

Why listen? You’ll walk away with...
✅ Biblical clarity about what tongues is and isn’t
✅ Real insight into common blocks like fear, control, or doubt
✅ Grace-filled encouragement to pursue the Holy Spirit without performance

Whether you’ve tried and felt nothing, or you’ve never dared to ask, this is your safe space to learn and receive.

Hit play now and step into a new level of spiritual confidence and clarity — especially around the gift of tongues.

Scripture:

• 1 Corinthians 14:13 – “Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.”

• Luke 11:13 – “How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Prayer:
God, thank You for making Yourself known in ways that go beyond words. I surrender my need to control or understand every detail, and I receive what You want to give me. Fill me with Your Spirit. Open my mouth to speak what my heart cannot say. Help me steward the gifts You give and teach me to walk boldly in Your power.

Declaration:
God, You said in Luke 11:13 that if we ask for the Holy Spirit, You will give Him to us. Therefore, I will ask and I will receive. {insert your name}, you are open to the voice of God, and you will walk in discernment and spiritual power.

Forgiveness is hard. Forgiveness after betrayal? It can feel impossible.
If you’ve ever said, “I forgave them… but I’m still hurting,” or “I can’t let go of what I did,” you’re not alone—and you're not broken.

In this episode, I was honored to be a guest on Beyond Broken Vows with Emily & Johnny Spigelmire, where we talk about the deep work of forgiveness after betrayal, sexual sin, and shame. This isn’t surface-level forgiveness. It’s a deliverance path that brings real peace.

We talk about why you still feel pain after forgiving, how to grieve with God, and why full healing includes blessing the person who hurt you.

• What forgiveness from the heart actually means (biblically)
  
  

• How to know if you’ve really let go—or just tried to
  
  

• Why grief is the missing first step in most forgiveness journeys
  
  

• How betrayed and betrayer alike can break shame and receive healing

Declaration: God, You said to forgive from the heart. Therefore, I am and I will walk in freedom. {insert your name}, you are and you will forgive fully and walk unchained.
