Across every faith, prophets have listened deeply and dared to speak truth in their time. Rather than fade away, what if the insights of these divine messengers are still echoing in prophetic voices today? In this short-form podcast, we will discover the revelation and visionary hope that is reverberating between past Festival of Faiths speakers and current spiritual leaders. Join us as we deepen our relationship to the Holy and each other with this concise, multi-faith exchange across time and space!
