- Something else entirely
This is a reflective podcast not only about Kierkegaards’s writings but about real life, values, authentic faith and good coffee. If you appreciate unpretentious Christians as much as I do, give this a listen. Every episode is like sitting down with Eric and musing over everything from irritating groundhogs and Trump’s latest antics to what it means to live a deep life of faith.
