Become New with John Ortberg

What is a PROPHET? (And why do we need them?)

Become New

What if faith isn’t meant to comfort us, but to disturb us?

In today’s reflection, we explore conscience, prophecy, and the unsettling gift of a sensitive soul. Throughout history, God has sent “disturbing people” into the world—prophets who refuse to ignore injustice, suffering, and hypocrisy.

We meet Margery Kempe, a 14th-century woman whose tears became a form of truth-telling, and we reflect on the nature of prophets through the wisdom of Abraham Joshua Heschel, who reminds us that prophets feel the world’s pain more deeply than others.
