#5049 Raw. Real. Pastor Eric.
Send us a Text Message - include your name!In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric lets it all out—raw, unfiltered, and uncomfortably real. He speaks not from a manuscript, but from the mess of his mind and heart. 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.Pastor Andy, ever the steady companion, does his best to keep pace—offering presence more than answers, listening as much as responding. What unfolds between them isn’t a performance; it’s a window into what pastoral life really looks like when the mask slips and the questions rise to the surface.This episode isn’t for those looking for neat theology or airtight encouragement. It’s for those who wonder if their pastors wrestle like they do—who need to know that even shepherds stumble, that even leaders have days where the fog doesn’t lift. And yet, even here, in the middle of the ache, there's a quiet reminder: Christ is no stranger to the wilderness. He’s already there, waiting.Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1.
