Pastor Erik joins me all the way from Wisconsin, to share his journey from little-to-no faith to becoming a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). Additionally, we discuss a little history of Lutheranism and the diversity that exists today. Erik and I met by happenstance on a mission trip in Puerto Rico of all places! His church happened to be staying at the same Methodist camp, so I insisted we chat! Enjoy!

My dear friend, Borus, join me in a long-awaited interview, to share his experience and spiritual journey, which has really taken off these past few years! Borus and I are best friends from the small town of Millbury, MA. We're also bandmates in the Worcester-based eclectic group, The Big-League Collective. We both had similar transformations, spiritually and philosophically, following the event of 2020. Borus shares his story from working in the corporate rat-race of wealth-management, to making the radical choice to work with the poor and for the sake of justice. He really inspires me, so I hope you enjoy our conversation!

I had the special privilege and delight to sit down and chat with the presbyter of Saint Spyridon Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Worcester, MA. He also was gracious enough to give me a tour of the church with all its ornate and beautiful fixtures as well as a historical and theological lesson on each part. We discussed Fr. Christopher's spiritual heritage and journey from working as an Engineer to being called into the priesthood, as well as some other topics of interest related to the priesthood, Divine Liturgy, and Orthodoxy's relationship to ecumenism...Enjoy!
