A Safe Place
I’m so grateful to have found this podcast. Evancynical holds space for honest and real conversations. Eric’s interview style and inclusive perspective offers listeners a safe place to explore their own truths. It fosters a sense of belonging for those of us who have been hurt by the church. The episodes are encouraging, authentic, and thought provoking. Thank you for all that you do!
A podcast that believes stories can heal!
I’ve listened to every episode and am always uplifted by the courage of the storytellers and their hope for continued spiritual growth as they journey on! And the host…a pastor who cares and listens, what a loving way to share his faith . If you grew up evangelical this podcast is a MUST listen, if you didn’t you will still find some amazing stories of healing and transformation. 5 stars from me!
Interesting!
I've listened to every episode and have loved hearing the different experiences people have had in the evangelical church. Many of the stories have resonated with my own experience, some of them quite deeply. Eric does a wonderful job interviewing his guests, and I appreciate him providing this podcast where people can freely tell their stories without fear of judgement no matter where they have landed in regard to the church.
