Struggling for Purpose

Hey! Remember me? I do still actually have a podcast. In this show, I’m talking about showing my kids how government works, NaPodPoMo, and 3Min Bible Study.

I first learned about Erik Price from his YouTube channel, California Driver, when I was researching driving for Uber.

I’ve been following his channel for about 18 months now and recently saw something on a whiteboard in the background. It read, “Pathway to Revelation.”

I knew from a few of his other videos that he was a man of faith so I thought it would be interesting to have him on the podcast to talk about his journey.

Erik and his brother Bret also run The State Mate, a company that sells state-themed socks. They recently successfully funded a state-themed deck of playing cards on Kickstarter.

If you’d like to buy some of the socks Erik sells, use the promo code “UBER30” to receive 30% your purchase.

Finally, I have another movie ticket giveaway.

I’ve been focusing on some different project so this podcast has fallen by the wayside. Plus, I’m not feeling especially creative during this pandemic.

I discuss that and more in this podcast.

George Floyd was murdered at the hands of three police officers this week.

A lot has been said about the incident and, thankfully, the officer who was leaning on George’s neck was arrested and charged with third-degree murder.

Listen in as I process my thoughts on the situation. It’s a return to the top-of-mind format that originally started this podcast.

As a person of peace, “Big Floyd” opened up ministry opportunities in the Third Ward housing projects.

Working from home for the past week due to the COVID-19 pandemic has left me creatively drained. I talk about that and more in this podcast episode.

You can find up-to-date information about COVID-19 from the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization.

Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

In the first podcast in this series, I was dancing around a “taboo” when it comes to podcasting: profit.

Since its inception, podcasters have been at odds over whether or not we should profit from our craft.

Hopefully, this brief episode clears up my intentions.

This podcast is rather short so you may want to check out the latest episodes of Truce Podcast and Modern Christian Men.
