Using MRI scans, fieldwork, and interviews, Tongues of Fire: How Charismatic Prayer Changes Evangelical Brains and Inspires Spirit-Filled Activism reveals how this spiritual practice generates both surrender and empowerment, driving personal transformation and political movements across America.


Joshua Brahinsky is a researcher at Stanford University in Religious Studies, McGill University in Transcultural Psychiatry, and a Teaching Faculty at UC Santa Cruz.

He studies prayer and meditation, with the last 20 years focused especially on the worship practices of charismatic evangelicals.
