Ken welcomes author, spiritual director, activist, and preaching minister at the University Church of Christ (Pepperdine),  Eric Wilson. The two met at a spiritual retreat for the facilitators of the Center for Racial Reconciliation where Eric led a day of refreshment and restoration around the theme of Brush Arbor. "It's soul work," Eric says. The two take us back to Eric's early formation years growing up in St. Louis, Missouri. His academic work took him from the University of Missouri to UCLA, where he earned an ABD in Theater Literature, History and Criticism. Eric's work as a Certified Spiritual Director and Life Coach contribute to this conversation filled with wisdom, insight and authenticity.

Faith – the First Seven Lessons

Spiritual growth and transformation dont have to be a possibility but a probability with these seven powerful concepts rooted in the way of Christ.

Faith is for all people seeking to make real substantive change in their lives. Whether it is a Christian seeking deeper faith, an artist pursuing richer creativity, a businessperson desiring greater productivity, or an athlete in need of a sharper edge, these seven powerful truths will aid in their development.

We have all been given the list of things we must do to succeed or grow. We have all either heard the message, attended the seminar, or bought the self-help book devoted to development. We have all heard the message, but very seldom has any real growth or development been achieved. Faith is for those who have tried and failed at those attempts. Because this book addresses what we must bring to the table for any of that information to take root. These seven profound concepts are the keys to unlocking the potential of all the systems, programs, and plans we have encountered in the past.
