Biblical anchors: 1 Corinthians 14 (orderly prophecy), Old Testament prophets, New Testament prophetic words in Acts. Prophecy is meant to build up and correct.

Core motivations & profile: Conscience-driven, often bold and direct. Values truth, conviction, and communal purity.

Typical ministry expressions: Preaching, prophetic exhortation, moral leadership, corporate calling to mission.

How the gift helps the church: Keeps the community honest, reorients focus when drift occurs, and catalyzes repentance and renewal.

Pastoral word: Prophecy must be practiced under wise accountability. Encourage prophetic voices and provide discernment structures so truth-telling builds rather than divides.
