For the Harvest - Archbishop Ric Thorpe

We sit with the stirring message from Archbishop Ric Thorpe’s recent video reflection, “For the Harvest.” Drawing from Matthew 9:35-38, Archbishop Thorpe invites us to look at the world the way Jesus did—with compassion, urgency, and a call to action.Jesus saw crowds that were “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” His response wasn’t indifference—it was to declare that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. And then He gave a direct command: pray for more workers, and then become those workers.In our conversation, we explore:What it means to see our communities, workplaces, and families as “harvest fields”Why compassion must precede our missionHow we can practically answer the call to be labourers todayThe role of prayer in preparing and sending out workersWhether you’re a church leader, a new believer, or someone wondering where you fit in God’s story, this episode will challenge and encourage you to step into the harvest with fresh eyes and a willing heart.Key Scripture: Matthew 9:35-38Featured Reflection: Archbishop Ric Thorpe🎧 Listen now – and if this episode speaks to you, leave a review and share it with a friend who needs to hear this timely word.
