An enormous amount of preparation goes into each Mariners weekend message. Eric scours through Scripture, commentaries, books, and speaks with subject matter experts on each topic we cover.

    It’s an intimate setting, sitting with your cup of coffee ☕️ in the comfort of your own home, listening to Pastor Eric and a rotation of the A~M~A~Z~I~N~G Leaders from each Mariners Church in So.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 182 - Jesus Warns
Q: How do the four millennial views interpret the trumpet judgments?
The episode compares symbolic, recurring judgments in amillennialism; past judgments associated with Jerusalem's destruction in postmillennialism; recurring historical patterns in historic premillennialism; and largely literal, sequential future events in dispensational premillennialism.
Episode 182 - Jesus Warns
Q: How can God operate with love and justice at the same time?
Lee says love responds rightly when someone it loves is harmed, and that God's holiness makes divine wrath different from human vengeance.
Episode 159 - Wisdom on Money and Contentment
Q: How can parents model financial stewardship for their kids?
Demonstrate giving (tithing), discuss investing and decision-making openly, and involve children in conversations about money to instill generosity and disciplined stewardship from a young age.
Episode 159 - Wisdom on Money and Contentment
Q: What percentage of a portfolio should be in risky investments for a 24-year-old?
It depends on risk tolerance, but generally younger investors can take on more risk, such as a larger equity allocation (e.g., 60-70% in equities) while balancing with bonds, and avoid putting all chips into high-risk ventures like crypto.
Episode 159 - Wisdom on Money and Contentment
Q: How should a young person think about investing versus buying status items?
Prioritize saving and investing (e.g., low-cost index funds) over conspicuous consumption; live modestly and let compound growth fund generosity and future security.
