Join Josh and Murray as they continue to breakdown the prophetic manifesto. On for today: the need for humility, silence, and solitude is crucial for prophetic maturity.

The seven marks of historic prophetic ministry (The Prophetic Manifesto):

- The reputation of Macarius the Great.
- The Desert Fathers (aka the prophets in the church) were sought for their great understanding of Scripture.
- The primary function of prophetic ministry is to reveal the nature of God/heart of Christ. A secondary/tertiary function is telling the future.
- An intense regards for humility, solitude, and silence (see the aforementioned Macarius)
- A hesitancy to use a gift to build a platform. Prophets/those in prophetic ministry ought to desire to be hidden rather than seen and to see the gift used in hidden ways.
- De-shackling the function of prophecy from end-times eschatology
- A healthier understanding of 5-fold ministry (admitting that we don't know what we are talking about). How has it been applied in ages past?

When the disciples asked Jesus if he was ready to establish his kingdom after his resurrection they still missed the gravity of what the message of the kingdom even was. Jesus must have been shaking his head in response to this query. Today, people attempt to use prophetic ministry to establish their own kingdom. Perhaps this is similar in principle to how the disciples mistook the coming of the kingdom? Join Joshua Hoffert, Murray Dueck, and Eric Janzen for part 2 of a conversation of Eric's new book "Ponder".

In the historic church there is a category of saint called "Fools for Christ". These people were seen as incredibly gifted, yet they hid themselves from the world by either feigning madness or doing strange things that alienated them from the people around them. Some of them became the most famous men and women of their time. What was the deal with these "crazy" people? And can we think of modern day examples? Join Josh and Murry as they dive into the topic "Fools for Christ".
