He shares his amazing stories of praying for people to be healed and seeing God move in power.

With literally millions of people watching and talking about Game of Thrones, the regulars felt it was important to raise the question: “Where do we, as followers of Jesus, draw the line in deciding which  movies or series we shouldn't watch?” Their intense discussion revolves around the question of whether this decision simply comes down to a personal choice between an individual and God, or if adopting that mentality might be another form of relativism. But don’t worry, it’s not all intense! David will still make you laugh (or cringe) with his latest Random Story!Follow BenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nzbenpierceFacebook: 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?

Continuing in their series on how to reach the secular world, the regulars talk about the need for having God’s heart. They look at the importance of making the decision to love our neighbors and that our actions can’t just be based on whether we feel something or not. They then discuss what it really means to have God’s broken heart for the world and how without it, we are really just being religious in our attempts to reach people for Jesus.
