Power can mock the messenger… but it can’t mute the message

Main message: Empire tries to control language and therefore control people, but God sometimes disrupts that control by raising unexpected, marginalized voices whose message is more powerful than attempts to silence or discredit the messenger.

Key points:

• Empires seek to control the dictionary (language) before controlling democracy.
• God occasionally "disrupts the sound system" by empowering people with the wrong accent, zip code, resume, or pedigree.
• Power can mock and attack the messenger but cannot kill the truth of a message spoken with divine force.
• When marginalized people speak with undeniable power, the room ultimately asks, "Who gave you the mic?"
