90: Eric Peterson | Lifelong Wisdom
When we think of life well lived, it's hard to come up with a better example than Eugene and Jan Peterson. Back in the Spring of 2019, we had the incredible honor of sitting down with the delightful Jan, beloved wife of Eugene Peterson, for what none of us realized would be her very last interview. Shortly after our time together, Jan went home to be with Jesus in May of 2019. Jan’s story of love, faith, and long obedience in the same direction remains one of our most listened to and commented on episodes to date.
On today’s episode we had the tremendous honor of chatting with Eugene and Jan’s son, Eric Peterson. Eric shares what it was like growing up in the Peterson home, his journey into the calling of local church ministry, and the wisdom from his dad Eugene through the form of letters that impacted him as a young pastor.
As always, we hope this conversation will bless you as much as it did us! Listen in!

Customer Reviews
They Live It Well
This podcast is like a hug that you didn't know you needed. It's like a cup of coffee that you've slowed down enough to taste. It's like meeting a couple on vacation that you liked so much, you exchange information, form a friendship and plan a vacation together in the future. It's professional but not a production. It's insightful but not academic. It's transparent but not dramatic. It's just a pleasurable and powerful way to spend your time. I mean the mission is in their mantra: you only have one life to live, live it well. Who doesn't want to do that?
Wisdom for the journey
I love this podcast! I know when I listen each week, I’ll be coming away from it encouraged and redirected toward how to live my best life well. In a world full of noise, this one cuts to the chase and gives me information I can actually use to live my life on purpose.
Awesome team
Jenni and Chris are an awesome duo. I love their perspective as a husband and wife team who interview really interesting people who have truly thoughtful and inspirational things to share. This podcast does what it promises- It empowers you to live your one life well. Really well.
