Cherise had the honor of having Eric Cobbins as her conversation partner this week. They had a candid discussion about same-sex relationships, mental health, social media, and growing up as a preacher's kid. Eric shared why he wasn't allowed to play monopoly and his appearance on the Arsenio Hall show. Cherise has never had a conversation like this with a pastor, let alone with one on sabbatical.
