Summary
The Integrity Crisis in Today's Churches [ mini-series ]
In Part 3 of our mini-series on Integrity in the Church, Eugene Peterson's son Eric Peterson and biographer Winn Collier talk about Eugene Peterson's battle over not losing his soul, overcoming his workaholic tendencies, Bono and celebrity, and the tension Eugene had to overcome to create a contemplative life.
Plus, after an epic 90-minute interview with Erin and Winn, I replay the interview I did with Eugene Peterson in the summer of 2017—one of the final interviews Eugene gave before he died.
