But one thing that is not valued in our culture is humility, and admitting that we need to grow.

In this episode, Ben, David, Chad, and a mysteriously tardy Luke come together for a conversation on the power of speech, and how it can indeed change the world.In light of the worldwide outrage surrounding the death of George Floyd, including the millions stating their opinions online, one can feel that his/her voice has no effect in the grand scheme of things. The guys discuss, with the help of impeccable Jordan Peterson logic, that whoever you are, you need to be speaking, because your voice IS heard, and needs to be heard.Jordan Peterson Video: https://bit.ly/2ABmMKMFollow BenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nzbenpierceTwitter: https://twitter.com/thetigerbelly/benalanpierceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nzbenpierceFollow DavidInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_rockpriest/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/david.j.pierce.5Follow ChadInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chadisliving/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chadisliving/Follow LukeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukejgreenwood/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luke.greenwood.562To learn more about Steiger International visit: www.steiger.orgQuestions, comments or feedback?
