Prophetic Leadership: Speaking Truth with Integrity - Homily 29th August 2025
Description
Leadership is more than efficiency or professionalism. True Christian leadership is prophetic: it is rooted in integrity, justice, and truth, even when it costs us. As we reflect on the witness of John the Baptist and the prophet Jeremiah, who spoke God’s word boldly in the face of opposition, we too are called to stand firm in God’s truth, not bending to fear, compromise, or popularity.
When leaders act with prophetic courage, they guide others toward God’s justice and peace, even if the world resists. May we ask for the grace to not just lead, but to lead prophetically, with hearts anchored in Christ.
Reflection Question: Where in my life is God inviting me to speak the truth with courage, even if it costs me comfort, popularity, or approval?
