In this episode of Dead Talk, the group connects with the spirits of Jeanne la Pucelle — Joan of Arc —and James Baldwin, two luminous souls who lived centuries apart yet carried the same divine paradox: Freedom is won through rebellion in grace. It's the loving rebellion of our own beliefs.
True rebellion is not the fight against darkness, but the refusal to surrender our light to it. Baldwin calls forgiveness “the highest rebellion,” the act that ends the war within, while Joan reminds us that obedience to love, not fear, is what ignites genuine freedom.
Together, they explore what it means to embody “rebellion as grace”: to live truthfully without the need for approval, to forgive as an act of liberation, and to follow divine guidance even when it defies expectation. They remind us that the voices of spirit never command — they reveal love — and that today’s revolution is one of compassion, patience, and the courage to live our truth aloud. “You are not being called to die for your truth,” Joan says. “You are being asked to live it.”
