On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my friend Eric, who’s a minister, a dad, and a really good hang. Here’s some of what we talk about:

• First question: We record this on a Friday, how far along are you on this week’s sermon?
• the bastardization of Christianity, fighting white Christian nationalism, who Jesus actually was and how dumb “prosperity gospel” is
• the time he got hit by a car on his bike and ended up apologizing to the guy who hit him
• the joy of embarrassing your own kids
• intellectual curiosity vs this country’s occasional impulse toward anti-intellectualism
• the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton
• the unconscionable treatment of the trans community and how dumb it is it to get angry at pronouns
• our shared annoyance of alpha bro masculinity
• the transformative power of people singing together
• the danger of people in matching t-shirts
• and yes, cinnamon rolls

Find Eric at First Universalist Church.
