Customer Reviews
Inspiring, Love it!
Community Matters is an enriching podcast, presenting a variety of topics always from a Christian perspective. The conversations that Eric engages in with his guests are educational, entertaining and thought provoking. I've learned so much about outstanding programs, leaders, and resources in my local community and beyond that I wasn't previously aware of. For that reason, whenever I get a chance to take a walk, a drive, or to mow the yard, this is the first podcast I tune in. I'd highly recommend it; you will certainly be inspired and, who knows, you may even be driven to a call of action. Thank you Eric and WBGL!
