The presentation provided a rudimentary definition of a prophet, which goes beyond the normal meaning of foretelling the future. Dr. Yates metaphorically compared the prophet to a “watchman,” which imparted great insight. The watchman was explicitly set in place to stand or watch for any approaching enemies, and to warn of any impeding danger. The comparison and explanation does not

we all triumph." As seen in this quote, the movie Coach Carter truly depicts the values of Christian beliefs.
