A mighty wind. Tongues of fire. Shouting the praises of God. When the Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples in Acts Chapter 2, the disciples are so ecstatic that the people of Jerusalem think they are "filled with new wine." What exactly is going on in this passage?

Fr. Andrew Dickinson and Josh Burks, hosts of the FAD&DAD podcast, return to do a deep dive into Acts Chapter 2. Fr. Andrew, Josh, and Jess discuss:

Connections between Acts 2 and the tower of Babel
The significance of the Jewish feast of Pentecost
Similarities between the account of Pentecost and the giving of the law on Mt. Siani
Connections between Acts 2 and the consecration of the Temple in 1 Kings
And much more!
