2 episodesCNLP 821 | Finding Your Voice as a Young Preacher: Tyler Staton on the Gift of Imagination and What Getting Sick Taught Him About Pace
Tyler Staton references Wynn Collier's biography of Eugene Peterson (title garbled in transcript as 'a burning my biography'), citing two specific passages: one where Peterson's adult son recalls hearing him pray in his basement office, and one where Peterson hikes with his adult son and reads him a letter. Staton says these stories shaped his own thinking about fatherhood and giving his imagination to his family.
CNLP 820 | Required Listening: Eric Peterson and Winn Collier on Eugene Peterson's Battle Over Not Losing HIs Soul, Workaholism, Bono and Celebrity, And the Tension to Create a Contemplative Life
Carey Nieuwhof interviews Winn Collier, Eugene Peterson's authorized biographer, drawing extensively on A Burning in My Bones throughout. The host had read the biography and references its content—Eugene's competitive drive, workaholism and family impact, his battle to protect his soul amid fame, his relationship with Bono, a struggle with bourbon, and the painful controversy of a final interview. Nieuwhof praises it as honest rather than hagiographic.
