In this episode of Outpost 318 , Eric dives deep into the concept of vulnerability, unpacking how it is often misunderstood in today’s society and why embracing it is actually the key to unlocking true strength.

In this bold and unfiltered message, Pastor Eric pulls no punches as he calls out one of the greatest threats to the modern Church— passive, pansy, half-hearted Christianity .
