Miracle or Manipulation: Should Churches Fear the Sign Gifts?

Written By Michael Davis

Tongues, prophecy, and healing spark some of the deepest divides in today’s church. Are these gifts an actual work of the Spirit or a dangerous distraction? In this episode of the Enduring Church Podcast, Nathan and Michael delve into the tension between cessationists and continuationists, share compelling stories from their ministry experiences, and explore how pastors can approach the sign gifts with wisdom, humility, and balance. They also reflect on the global church’s perspective, where spiritual gifts often look very different than those in the West, and consider what it means for unity in a post-Christian culture. The conversation is honest, practical, and aimed at helping leaders shepherd their congregations faithfully in the midst of controversy.
