Provoke & Inspire Podcast

Does God work the same all over the world? Will people respond to the Gospel in the USA the same way they do in Russia?Ben and David talk about this reaction they seem to see all over the world where people think that preaching the Gospel works in other countries but won’t work in their own. They debunk this lie and look at why it seems that so many followers of Jesus around the world have turned away from just preaching the simple Gospel.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?
