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 mission
• How we can practically answer the call to be labourers today
• The role of prayer in preparing and sending out workers

Whether 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.
