Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One.

Hello America. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson Show across the nation from my flagship in Atlanta, where we get ready for historic midterms. The phone number,

So the next Sunday they had the young man back.

And he gave word for word the same sermon.

And the deacons met and they said, well, something's, something's up with this guy.
