On Tuesday and Thursday of this week, Eric is filling in for Nathan Johnson and delivering a two-part series entitled Spiritual Biography.  In this fascinating and moving biographical sketch, Eric takes us through the formation of two of the most painful yet most important points of his spiritual growth and development over the past three decades. In this first episode in the short series, he walks through the difficult pathway he’s traversed in order to finally accept, with joy, the calling being an idiot preacher.
