Episode 29: Erik Fish

In this episode, we have a conversation with Erik Fish around creating empathetic spaces of listening and understanding that lead to encounters with Jesus. Erik shares some stories of Jesus encountering others and helps make following Jesus something everybody would want to do.

Erik’s journeys among the First Nations people of North America inspired his passion for creating Jesus-centered movements outside the boundaries of conventional Christendom. In 2012, he was adopted and named as a member of the Dakota Sioux tribe.

By planting the way of Jesus within existing cultures and social groups, he has witnessed several miraculous movements that brought transformation to individuals, families, and communities.

Erik’s messages on the simplicity of Jesus’ call to create relationships like Jesus did have been featured on multiple platforms. He’s authored books and is the founding leader of the Student Church Movement, creating disciple multiplication movements on and beyond university campuses worldwide. Most of all, he loves creating friendships where history, culture, and tradition have built walls of separation.

Erik and his wife have four children. Their love for friends, travel, and Jesus take them on many adventures together.
