The Gift We Keep Running From
Why the world still needs prophets, and why one of them might be you.
“Welcome to today’s reflection, a space to pause, pay attention, and notice what God might be stirring beneath the surface.”
There’s an ancient gift that has always unsettled people.
It isn’t flashy, it isn’t easy, and it isn’t the sort of thing you’d volunteer for. Yet, it’s a meaningful gift that every community needs: the gift of prophecy.
Not prophecy in the fortune-telling, crystal-ball sense. Instead, prophecy is a calling to get alongside people, to point out what is really going on, even if they don’t see it or don’t want to. Prophets are those who see clearly when everyone else is blind. They name the truth when it’s inconvenient. They ask questions nobody wants to hear.
It’s never been popular, and it’s never been safe.
