I found listening to the debate (below) that Justin Taylor posted a great accompaniment to doing a pile of dishes. It's an "intramural" discussion between two Christian men on whether, or to what extent, "prophecy" continues among Christians and within Christian churches today. Taylor introduced the video as following:
Below is an hour-long debate/discussion between Ian Hamilton (Cambridge Presbyterian Church; Cambridge, England) and Wayne Grudem (Phoenix Seminary, Arizona) on the role and continuation of prophecy in the church today. Adrian Reynolds moderated the discussion, which took place at Proclamation Trust‘s 2010 Evangelical Ministry Assembly (EMA).

Me: Though I see all kinds of dangers, and potential for abuse, yet I think Dr. Wayne Grudem has the firmer argument when he speaks in favor of a continuation of prophecy, narrowly defined, and with the Scriptural safeguards he expounds. My personal experience has been in churches which shy away from such practice. I'm wondering if believers engaged in more regular and earnest prayer, the practice would be different.
