What The Prophets Say with Emma Stark

Emma Stark is joined by prophets Amanda Atkinson and Karyn Stuart for a raw, honest, and deeply prophetic conversation about one question: What would you be gutted if you didn’t see happen this year?
From blessing the land to receive people as they move and transition, to learning how to settle into the joy of your current assignment, this episode carries a clear message: 2026 is not promised to be easy, but it can be deeply well-lived.
Together, Emma, Amanda, and Karyn unpack:
why the Church must recover depth of relationship
how to find joy in obedience, not just endurance
what it means to be faithful in the middle
why returning to the same issue can be faithfulness, not failure
how Nehemiah models processing grief and courage over months, not moments
why togetherness is how we survive wars, tumults, and cultural upheaval
With stories of transition, healing, corporate grief, and everyday acts of love, this episode is a call to build the kind of community where people are known, held, and strengthened.

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Jonah Wilson and Matt Johnson for a hilarious, honest, and weighty end-of-year conversation that turns sharply into a prophetic call: the Church has a leadership problem, and it’s rooted in a lack of journeying with people.
Together they unpack what it means to follow Jesus and lead others at the same time. From Peter’s messy, Spirit-led learning curve to modern leaders who raise people up too quickly without real parenting and accountability, this episode challenges listeners to move from past-to-present thinking into present-to-future leadership.
You’ll hear why:
Leadership requires releasing others, not gathering crowds
“bigger buildings” can be the wrong dream
Some endings must be expedited to step into new mantles
Healthy ministry needs boundaries (“good fences make good neighbours”)
Every leader needs wells, not constant drains
We all need people beside us, and someone to pull up
If you’ve been faithful in the pew, the Bible study, or the background, consider this your push: it’s time to lead something, journey with someone, and build a company of leaders for what’s ahead.

In this end-of-year episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Louise Reid and Karyn Stewart for a lively, provocative, and deeply prophetic conversation about curiosity, courage, sharpening, and the call to get out of the boat.
As 2025 draws to a close, the trio reflects on what must be carried forward, and what must be left behind. They unpack the necessity of relationships that challenge us, conversations that sharpen rather than soothe, and the danger of comfort masquerading as faithfulness.
This episode explores:
Why provocation can be a gift from God
How curiosity keeps us spiritually alive
Why comfort and fear are equally limiting
Peter’s leap out of the boat - and why sinking wasn’t failure
The power of being rescued by Jesus after the leap
How betrayal, failure, and discomfort become catalysts for growth
Why God deliberately frustrates the status quo
The call to adventurous faith as we step into 2026
This is a conversation for leaders, pioneers, and believers who sense that the season ahead requires more bravery, more curiosity, and more dependence on God than ever before.
