In this episode of The Collegiate Church Podcast, we sit down with Eric Asp, campus missionary and pastor at H2O Church at Kent State University, to discuss his incredible journey in ministry—from serving on staff in Ohio to planting a church in Amsterdam. Eric shares candidly about the triumphs and challenges of church planting in a post-Christian culture and what he learned from leading through a leadership crisis. He reflects on the importance of entering new cultures as learners, the role of humility in leadership, and the enduring power of God’s grace in the midst of failure. For anyone interested in global missions or church planting, this conversation offers both wisdom and encouragement. Tune in to hear Eric’s story of God’s faithfulness and why he encourages others to ask, "Why not go?"
