"A prophetic life is simply hearing our Father’s heartbeat for other people and sharing that with them accurately so that their lives can be enriched.” 


David McCracken


What would it be like to sit down with David McCracken to discuss different aspects of living a prophetic life?

  • Fathering in the Prophetic is a course that invites you to do exactly that - be discipled in all things prophetic. Embracing a casual, conversational setting, Steve McCracken asks his father, David McCracken, a series of questions. With no pre-conceived structure or agenda, each session is filled with unique words of wisdom, insight and revelation as both David and Steve rely on Holy Spirit to lead the conversation.

  • While David is Steve’s natural father, Steve also looks to him as a spiritual father, as do many others around the globe. The primary purpose and heart behind Fathering in the Prophetic is that those doing the course would feel a part of the conversation, and receive from the fatherly wisdom that surfaces throughout conversation.
