The Courage to Speak Truth to Power

In this episode of Creation's Paths, host Charlie, a non-binary Christopagan Druid, and their husband Brian discuss the profound spiritual gift of prophecy and its significance in today's world. They explore the concept of prophecy not as foreseeing the future but as a tool for naming and fighting for it by speaking truth to power. The discussion touches upon historical examples, including the beheading of John the Baptist and the perseverance of prophets like Samuel and Elijah. They also delve into modern activism's challenges and strategies for effective advocacy, stressing the importance of nuanced engagement, personal conversations, and the necessity of rest and recuperation. Additionally, they introduce their new podcast, 'The Church of the Oak,' which promises to bring fiery sermons and deeper insights into these critical issues. Join them for an enlightening conversation on how to wield the gift of prophecy in the pursuit of justice and truth.
