Glory Story (2:33)
Speaking in Tongues (5:29)
Hi Father Josh! I’ve recently gone to a retreat/mission school and met people who could speak in tongues. I understand that this is a charismatic gift that is so beautiful, but they were not speaking in other languages like the saints and apostles did. Everyone I met would repeat the sound tick-tick-tick very quickly. I was then told that this was an angelic tongue that was for personal use. Can you explain what this is and whether angelic tongues is truly a gift of the Holy Spirit?

The Differences between Sacred Art and Pornography (20:17)
Hi Father Josh. Thank you for your educational podcast. I love learning more about our Faith and about Jesus through your teaching. My question is this, as someone who likes learning and going to museums it is easy to be confronted by nude art. Is there a difference between something like Michelangelo’s David and pornography? Where does one go to learn more about the distinction between these two things if there is one? Thank you for all that you do.
