charismatic starter pack
Below are some examples of videos and other resources that have encouraged me or otherwise taught me something along the path of embracing the practicing of all the spiritual gifts available to us today, as well as "deliverence" ministry (casting out demons). Some of these teachings are long; I'm not in agreement with every idea spoken therein, of course, but these are some interesting places to launch into further exploration of the charismata.
Shalom.
