I believe Eric was the finest preacher to reach ordinary people that the nation has produced in his generation. He was also my spiritual Dad, and not just by his message but his mentoring, prayer and support.
I loved his laugh, and shared many of his heartfelt tears too as he prayed for the people. He was incredibly open as a Pastor to care deeply for people

Helping Your Church Grow In Spiritual Maturity
When we ‘give our lives to Christ’ we don’t just give him our past sins, we actually die to the old Βίος (Bios) life in order to receive the everlasting Ζωή (Zoe) life!

You Can Be Part Of COMMUNITAS (Content, Coaching and Community for leaders)

When The Heat Is On – Staying Strong in God During Spiritual Dry Times
When the heat is on and the ground feels dry, remember your life is not rooted in the season but in the stream. Seasons will change, but the water never runs dry.

“The Holy Spirit has been made like a drunk uncle at a wedding: still technically invited, but stuck in the corner in case he embarrasses us.”
Pete Greig: Prayer that’s Faithful, Faith-Filled, and Fully Awake.

On the first night Pete spoke and my notes are below – brilliant stuff!
