Catholics have the Vatican. Protestants have Nashville, Tennessee. The city known as "Music City USA"
has become a hub for the modern prophetic movement. Like their forefathers in ancient times, these
modern-day prophets believe they hear from God directly and are His messengers. It is a tightly-knit
community of nomadic Christians, sporadically setting up shop in our local churches - a provocative
mix of fundamentalist Evangelicals and old-time Pentecostals - prophesying, speaking in tongues,
performing miraculous healings and preparing for the End Times.
Prophets Rising is a pensive journey and roller-coaster ride into the prophetic world of signs and
wonders. For a year, filmmakers Jane Pittman and Loree Gold ventured into the supernatural realm
where they met Sandy Powell, Mickey Robinson and James Goll, three acclaimed Prophets fishing for
souls in the name of the Lord. They discovered a growing movement steeped in the ancient rituals
of the early Christian church yet bearing the face of a typical American community - the soccer
moms and IT dads, college students, high school kids and baby boomers. Why are some of our co-workers
and neighbors being drawn to the fringes of a fundamentalist religious awakening? What do Sandy,
Mickey and James offer those who believe the mainline Christian church has somehow lost its way?
Many believe it's a time for intimacy with God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit - a time to leave the
pews and freely sing and dance and speak in tongues to the heavens above.
