The Everyday Apostle - EP006 - Eric Robinson

What does it take to transform a troubled past into a powerful ministry of hope and recovery? Pastor Eric Robinson knows this journey all too well. Growing up in Miami with challenges such as being raised by a single mother and lacking a relationship with his father, Eric found solace through his devout grandmother's influence in the church. A pivotal moment came when a spiritual awakening during his time in jail ignited his passion for juvenile intervention and addiction recovery. Now, as an associate pastor and certified addiction counselor, Eric dedicates his life to guiding at-risk youth and infusing his community with faith and purpose.
Balancing ministry and family life is no small feat, and in this episode, we explore how faith-driven service can sometimes lead to burnout. Drawing from scriptures in Matthew about the call to serve others, we discuss the importance of communication and prioritization within the family unit. Eric shares personal insights about maintaining a supportive partnership and keeping Christ at the center of the household. We also delve into the inspiring creation of Saving Families, an initiative born from the founder's challenging upbringing, aimed at providing stable family environments. Tune in for a heartening conversation about resilience, faith, and the delicate balance of service and family.
