You’ve probably heard many people quote Matthew 9:37, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” And speak on how we need more workers to go into the harvest. But why is that? Why are we not seeing more workers? The regulars try to answer these questions and also discuss why many people start out in ministry or missions but don’t seem to last. Of course there is a David's Random Story and this time David shares what happened when No Longer Music performed a slightly controversial song at a Christian college in Minneapolis…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?

The new year has arrived, and with it, people’s new year’s goals and resolutions. Is there any benefit to creating a new years resolution? Or is it just an excuse for self focus? The regulars discuss this topic and share their personal experiences in the matter. They also look at a recent NAS Daily video about morality and the idea that there is no right or wrong. How do we react as christians when people say there are no absolute truths? What kind of conversations should we be having to help expose the lies of moral relativism?
