145 From Youth Group Kid to Now ft. Eric Duffy

What do woodworking, canoe-building, youth ministry, and teaching science all have in common? According to Eric Duffy—more than you’d think.In this episode of Storydram, Eric Duffy joins Chris and Kory to reflect on craftsmanship, vocation, and the kind of faith that’s built slowly, patiently, and with a lot of trust. Did we mention that Eric had a front row seat to Chris' earliest youth ministry years? From constructing a wooden canoe in half-hour increments to discovering that ministry only works when Jesus—not community—is at the center, this conversation traces how joy, belonging, and belief are formed over time.Eric shares how youth ministry shaped his faith, why five faithful adults can change the trajectory of one young person’s life, and how teaching science has become a daily opportunity to witness to Christ. It’s a hopeful, grounded conversation about showing up, building what lasts, and trusting that—by God’s grace—it will still float.
