From Jonathan Martin\u2019s plenary session from the Water to Wine Gathering in St. Joseph, MO. Elisha demonstrates the prophetic task to which we are now all called\u2014not to stand in the safe middle, but to stand in the dangerous in-between. Not standing for ourselves, our own people or interests, even for our own faith\u2014but to stand in-between the world and her own self-destruction. The peace not only of \u201cthe people of God,\u201d but of all people, is at stake at whether or not there is a people who are willing to stand in-between.
