THE PROPHETIC BEYOND THE PULPIT

Have you ever felt unsure how the prophetic operates outside of the confines of a church setting or prophetic gathering? Maybe you have even wondered if and how it’s possible to function in your gifting in the unique industry or sphere you feel called to. 


I often see people count themselves out from the fullness of their gifting because it doesn’t look like the prophets or prophetic people that stand behind the pulpit making powerful prophetic proclamations. But, the truth is that all throughout scripture we see prophets prepare the way, influence cultural change, and minister to priests and kings. They were not subjugated to the confines of cultural comfortability or religious regularity but took the sword of the prophetic into places that despised the word of God to cut through cultural chaos with truth that changed history and saved entire nations. 


I’d like to point out the story of Joseph - a hero of the faith; a prophetic protagonist. His journey was far from linear, striking every cultural custom and thought of how a “chosen” leader should be appointed. Yet, somehow it is still common to count yourself out from the call of God on your life as a prophetic person because you might not feel like “the rest.” 


This is why I felt led to create a three-part Cultural Catalysts series to highlight diverse forms of the prophetic and interview individuals operating prophetically in different spheres of influence to inspire and ignite you with faith to see how God moves outside of the four walls of the Church. For the launch of this series, I sat down with Katherine Warnock, the President of Original Content for The Chosen.


Katherine shares a profound revelation of what is necessary for us as Believers to cultivate in order to be effective leaders in every industry. She stated that in Isaiah 54:2 we are commanded to extend our tent pegs so that others can come under and rest. She continued to exhort us as Believers by stating:
“We must create a dwelling of His Presence in our lives, without words, for others to come under and rest. If we as Christians understood that in the marketplace, we would be unstoppable.”

GOD IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

My prayer as you watch this week’s Cultural Catalysts episode is that you are encouraged and spurred on to carry the Kingdom of God into every sphere of society. That you begin to see how the Lord has strategically positioned you and has uniquely stationed you to not only carry His Presence but discover Heavenly solutions for the sphere of influence you are called to. 


God has created you with a specific prophetic destiny! You were born for such a time as this. 

SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETS

If you desire to refine your gifting, grow in confidence to prophetically spearhead the way of cultural change, and be empowered to influence the unique sphere you are called to- I want to invite you to the School of the Prophets on August 7-11, 2023. You can register for both in-person, in Redding Ca or online here. 


It is time to break the silence, stand boldly in the dark places, and resound truth across the nations. God is calling His prophets to courageously prepare the prophetic path of divine providence. In this one-week intensive training school, you will gain an understanding of the prophetic gifting, the office of a prophet, and how to operate effectively in your unique prophetic calling. I hope to see you there!

Have you ever found yourself in the midst of life's chaos, desperately needing a break, clarity, and a spiritual reset? Picture it like halftime – that pivotal moment when the coach steps in, recalibrates the team, and sparks a turnaround. The game isn't over; this is a chance to come back stronger and claim victory! In recent weeks, a resounding message has been echoing in my heart and mind: January is the Church's halftime! Our divine Coach is calling us to the huddle, to draw close, and let Him fine-tune our game plan – our values, thoughts, and behaviors. Amid the noise, He's inviting us to step away, knowing that leaning into these divine moments will catapult us into the second half, ready for victory. And in this game, we already know the final score – He wins!

Gen Z, labeled as the seemingly lost generation to Christianity, and Gen Alpha, the digital natives immersed in screens, stand at the crossroads of an era defined by the rapid evolution of technology. As they navigate the evolving landscape of identity, both personal and global, a crucial question reverberates: "Has the Church lost this next generation?"

Have you ever grappled with the intersection of an unwavering belief in a supernatural God who releases healing from heaven and the pragmatic world of science and medicine? Perhaps you've found yourself standing at the crossroads, fervently praying for a miracle yet receiving healing through the hands of a compassionate doctor. It's a tension many face—the delicate dance of faith in God's miraculous power juxtaposed with the gift of modern medicine. What if there is no tension at all and there is actually a beautiful integration of faith and science?
