#25 Altering the Altar — Interview with Eric Wakeling

| Episode Guest: Eric Wakeling

Today we talk with Eric Wakeling, Senior Pastor of Calvary Church of Santa Ana, California. Listen as we take a quick but deep dive into I Kings 12 and the story of the altar at Tel Dan. In order to prevent pilgrimage to the temple in Jerusalem, Jeroboam sets up false idols in the form of a golden calves in Dan and Bethel, proving he allowed his fear triumphed over his faith. Our Israeli guide Ronen also shares an update about the ancient site of Shiloh.

Eric has been in ministry for over 20 years and has led 6 study trips to Israel with GTI Tours. He and his wife, Bea, have two teenage daughters, Grace and Ella.
