New Episode of Convergence
Speaking Truth to Power: Courageous and Prophetic Leadership in a Challenging World

What does it mean to lead with courage in a time of division, conflict, and uncertainty?

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Robert White and Dr. Eric Betts explore the heart of prophetic leadership—the call to speak truth to power with integrity, humility, and love.

Drawing on biblical tradition, contemporary events, and the voices of leaders past and present, this episode wrestles with some urgent questions:

• When does silence become complicity?
• What does it mean to speak prophetically in today’s world?
• How do we confront systems of power without losing our soul?
• What is the cost—and necessity—of courageous leadership?

In a moment when moral clarity is often blurred and public discourse is deeply polarized, this conversation invites us to consider a deeper kind of leadership—one rooted not in power, but in truth.

Join the conversation. Share your thoughts.
The future depends on leaders willing to speak—with courage, conviction, and compassion.
