In this episode of Weatherford Daze, we explore the powerful theme of prophecy and its connection to destiny and free will. From biblical prophecies to epic tales in literature and film, we look at how prophecy shapes the paths of heroes — and what it means for us today. Join us as we dive into Dune, Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief, Willow, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Eye of the World, and The Matrix. How do these stories use prophecy and reflect the deeper truths found in scripture? Let's see how those stories connect to bigger questions about purpose, calling, and whether we can change our fate. What happens when a character tries to fight their fate — or fulfill it? Let’s talk faith, fiction, and the mystery of destiny. Come hang out with us for a fun and thoughtful conversation!Books & Movies Mentioned:DuneThe MatrixPercy Jackson: The Lightning ThiefWillowThe Lion, the Witch, and the WardrobeHarry Potter and The Order Of The PhoenixEye of the WorldScriptures Referenced:Genesis 3:15Genesis 17:4Proverbs 25:2Matthew 24:1-51Luke 21:8-36
