Prophets and Whistleblowers

Course Description:

In some charismatic circles, the gift of prophecy is expressed only in the language of positivity. According to Jesus, prophets are not honored in their own family or hometown. Why do most prophets and whistleblowers end up being outcasts? This is a sobering course that draws heavily from the stories of prophets in both the Old and New Testament. It’s a course on moral courage, a set of lessons on practical wisdom, and a careful study of the faithfulness of God. 

 

Guiding Questions:
