Eric Peterson | Your Discerning Life Story, Episode 2
Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Eric Peterson
“God is in everything, in all the details of life, and not just the pleasant ones.” –Eric Peterson
Eric Peterson is the son of Eugene Peterson, author of The Message translation of the Bible, who found his way to faith and pastoral ministry with reluctance. As he reflects on his discerning life, he describes his journey as along a luminous trail, a metaphor based on mountain climbing. Slugging his way up the mountain, he looks back and down and sees headlamps shining on the pathway he and his friends had created. The lights are references to his own discerning life story, always being led by the light, but not always along a straight line. Eric is a man who’s been richly blessed and continues to discern ways to be a blessing to others.
