#29 Asking the Right Questions — Interview with Eric Schrotenboer
| Episode Guest: Eric Schrotenboer
Our podcast guest today is Eric Schrotenboer, a storyteller and founder of The Acacia Project. He is a film maker, music composer, and children's book author of "The Wandering Wisemen". Today he discusses the person of Herod the Great, visiting some of the structures he built, and the shadow he cast far and wide upon the scene Jesus entered. One King took life to save his own, while the other gave His own life to save others.
Eric studied Bible, Music, and Communication at Hope College, Messianic Judaism at Denver Seminary, and received his Masters of Divinity from Western Theological Seminary. He has a passion to help people better understand and fall more deeply in love with the Text. This mission began as Eric realized that people stop reading their Bibles because they don't understand the context of what they are reading. As Eric studied the Bible in its context, the words on the pages came alive. For him, it is a tremendous privilege to teach and help others see the "pictures" in the Text. Eric and his wife Meredith live in Grand Rapids, Michigan with their two children, Meryn and Judah.
