Speaking Topics Include

The Gospel of You: Reclaiming the Life You Were Always Meant to Live

We inherit stories about who we should be, what makes us worthy, and what a “good” life is supposed to look like. Drawing from his book, The Gospel of You, Eric explores how curiosity can help us examine the beliefs we've inherited, courage can help us challenge the ones that no longer serve us, and authenticity can help us create lives that actually feel like our own.

Finding Your People: How to Make Friends, Build Community, and Create Connection

In a world where we're more connected than ever, meaningful connection can still feel surprisingly hard to find. Eric explores why belonging isn't about the size of your social circle, how our expectations and fear of rejection can keep us waiting to be chosen, and what it takes to create relationships that actually feel fulfilling. Along the way, he shares practical strategies for making friends as an adult, finding spaces where connection can happen, taking the first awkward step, and turning acquaintances into deeper, more meaningful relationships.

Get to the Root: Changing Your Thoughts Can Change Your Life

Our thoughts don't appear out of nowhere. Beneath the anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and overthinking are often deeply rooted beliefs about who we are and what we're worth. Eric introduces a practical approach to identifying the beliefs underneath our recurring thoughts, questioning the stories we've mistaken for truth, and creating new patterns that move us toward the lives we actually want.

After Certainty: Grieving, Questioning, and Reconstructing What You Believe

What happens when beliefs that once gave your life structure and meaning no longer fit? Eric explores deconstruction not as a destination, but as a grieving process: the loss of certainty, identity, relationships, rituals, community, and sometimes even our understanding of God. Rather than prescribing where anyone should land, this conversation invites people to compassionately examine what was harmful, honor what was meaningful, and decide for themselves what they want to carry forward, whether that means returning to church, walking away from religion altogether, reconstructing a spiritual life, or finding a home somewhere in between.

Proud, Not Arrogant: Why Pride Is About Dignity, Not Superiority

For generations, LGBTQ+ people have been told that pride is sinful...but is celebrating who you are really the kind of pride scripture warns against? Through humor, history, personal storytelling, and a fresh look at what “pride” actually means, Eric explores the difference between arrogance and dignity, why Pride exists in the first place, and why celebrating an identity you were once taught to hide can be an act of courage, gratitude, and love.​​​​​​​​
