Episode 17: How a Healthy Prophetic Culture Produces Creative Mission

 

In this episode, Gina is joined by Cath Livesey who is a part of the 3DM UK team and the leader of an organization called Accessible Prophecy that helps local churches grow a prophetic culture. If you've been involved in the 3DM movement for any amount of time, you're probably familiar with Cath because she's the author of a book that we use called "My Sheep Have Ears" which has helped many people learn to listen to the Lord in their own lives and in the life of their missional community and church.

 

Cath is with Gina on this episode to talk not only about how to hear from the Lord, but also about her new book out called "Holy Disruption: Harnessing the Prophetic to Shape a More Christlike Church," and talk about how a healthy prophetic culture in our churches can lead to creative and effective mission.

 
 

Mentioned In This Episode:

Holy Disruption

Holy Disruption unpacks a holistic, Jesus-shaped perspective of the prophetic, exploring how we, as the church, are collectively called to embody this ministry as a key part of our calling to become more like Christ. The book encourages us to welcome the holy disruption God longs to bring through the prophetic, allowing him to conform the church to the image of Jesus and to transform the world around us for the sake of his justice and righteousness.

My Sheep Have Ears

A solidly biblical and well-balanced introduction to the vital ministry of listening to what God is saying, seeing what God is doing, and sharing that with others in helpful and upbuilding ways. This book offers practical guidance for learning how to recognize God’s voice, tips for avoiding the divisive pitfalls that often plague immature prophets, and concrete tools and examples to help you build a prophetic ministry that will strengthen your church and help people follow Jesus in the power of the Spirit.
