Chad Johnson

Chad Johnson's path through the music industry is marked by innovation and a deep sense of purpose. At Tooth & Nail Records, his eye for talent brought bands like Underoath and mewithoutYou into the limelight, significantly shaping the indie music scene. However, it was with the establishment of Come & Live! where Chad truly pursued his vision.

Come & Live! was envisioned as more than just a record label—it was a mission-driven community aimed at supporting artists in their creative and spiritual endeavors. This initiative saw a pivotal moment when Come & Live! integrated into Steiger, a global mission organization, further expanding its reach and impact. Following this integration, the Provoke & Inspire podcast emerged. Chad became a key member of the podcast team, contributing to discussions that challenge, uplift, and inspire listeners through the lens of faith and culture today.

David Pierce

In the early 1980s, at the height of the European punk rock movement, David Pierce started a Bible study on a barge (called Steiger 14) behind Central Station in Amsterdam, Holland, reaching disenfranchised young people of that city. It was there that David started a band called "No Longer Music" (No Longer Music) as a tool to communicate the Gospel of Jesus to these young people who would never step foot into a church.

Since then, David has taken the message of Jesus to some of "the darkest corners of society", including closed Islamic countries, terrorist clubs, squatter villages, anarchy festivals, brothels, junkie joints, punk & goth music festivals, Satanist clubs and New Age gatherings. 

David has seen many thousands find Jesus and his efforts have served as a catalyst for a wave of new ministries, churches, and missionaries that have grown into a global, interconnected missions organization called Steiger International.
