S4 EP:5 Pentecostals as Christian Mystics with Daniel Castelo (and special guest Marc Byrd)

Christian Mysticism. . . again? It seems that the idea of Christian Mysticism resonated deeply with may who listened to the recent podcast on the topic with Dr. Dale Coulter. So Aaron invited Dr. Daniel Castelo, the William Kellon Quick Professor of Theology and Methodist Studies at Duke Divinity School, to join him along with friend of the podcast insanely talented music producer, Marc Byrd, to talk about mysticism once more. Pentecostals are a strange groups with an emphasis on experiencing the Holy Spirit through prayer, tongue speech, vibrancy of worship, and more. What may seem odd to many is in so many ways connected to the ancient Christian Mysticism, experiencing God in mystery. Dr. Castelo joins us on Everyday Theology to talk about why his studies led him to this conclusion, what it means for Pentecostals, and then what it means for all of us to be mystics. 

Stay a while longer after the conversation with Dr. Castelo as Aaron and Marc decompress further and talk about why this concept was so vital for both of their Pentecostal experiences.
