 In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric takes the mic for a rare solo session, part reflection, part ramble, and a little bit of everything in between. He talks about goals, desires, love, Jesus, politics, and of course, board gaming. It’s honest, unpredictable, and probably not something that’ll happen often… mostly because Pastor Andy might not let it.

Thoughts pour out in no particular order—some heavy, some searching, others simply honest. It’s not polished. It’s not tidy. But it is true.
