Prophecy Today - Fortune Telling or Something More? - 083

Is prophecy today simply fortune telling or something else?  Jeff, Mona and Allen discuss this deceptively layered topic.  Much of the time the rhetoric around prophecy, or the prophetic, or even the hebrew prophets themselves seems so otherworldly.  Saturated with mysticism and the divine.  Perhaps there is more.  And that although all that is true, there is another dimension to the tradition of the prophetic.  A practical one.  One deeply connected to the real life details and systems we all encounter on a regular basis.  And finally in an attempt to divine the thoughts of our co-hosts we play another round of Title Me This.
