The New Testament Prophet: Part 1

A MUST HEAR episode of Untangled is up! What is a New Covenant Prophet? Is there such a thing? Some have been taught that prophets don't exist anymore or that prophecy is the same as teaching. Others have encountered all kinds manipulative, controlling, and cultic practices that have been presented as being prophetic. Loren interviews Dr. Stephen Crosby about his fantastic new book, "The New Testament Prophet: Understanding the Mind, Temperament, and Calling." His book lays out a grace-based and new covenant perspective regarding the function of prophetic ministry in the New Testament era. This isn't a “how to” or “predicting the future” book. Rather, it's about relational wellness and integration AS prophetic people, WITH prophetic people, and AMONG the diversely gifted and configured body of Christ.
