  • Television

    Don't really watch to much TV but i guess... ESPN, Sports Center, PTI, The first season of The Apprentice, The Real World, of course Seventh Heaven, Crossing Jordan (but just when i am at my moms house, i also watch As The World Turns when i am there, but only kinda by choice.)

  • Books

    Fear and Trembling, Practice in Christianity, Sickness Unto Death and works of love all by Soren Kierkegaard. A New Kind of Christian, Resident Aliens, Torture and Eucharist, For the life of the World, The Orthodox Way, Cruciformity, Blue Like Jazz, The Post-Evangelical, Walk On; the spiritual journey of U2. I don't do much light reading most of it is theology stuff or something that could possibly cause me to grow as a follower of Jesus.

  • Heroes

    I don't think i have any heroes... Hmmm, i'll have to think about it. The closest thing would be maybe Rob Bell, Dan Boone, Brain McLaren, Billy Graham -- they are all incredible communicators

About me:

Well I'll start with the most interesting things -- I'm a pretzel (Freeport pretzels, best high school mascot ever or something) - My first name hasn't always been Erik (you'll have to ask) I grew up as an only child but then i found out I have four sisters when I was about 24. I recently met one of my 4 sisters, so now i am a brother, very cool. I have lived in lots of cities, about 5 states and 2 cars in the last few years but California is home for now but hopefully Nashville (again) sooner than later. I love to travel, watch movies, listen to music (all kinds but I could do without country), I'm into most sports; I play basketball, football, HUGE disk golf fan, pretty much anything, I played college tennis, so i love that. My favorite thing to do is speak/preach (sometimes I can't believe I get paid for it, life is great) I consider myself a professional hanger outer, I can hang out with the best of them... Lots of other stuff, bla bla bla… check out my website (www.erikwillits.com) for my “official” bio or just e-mail me. PEACE

Who I'd like to meet:

Lots of people... Jesus, Paul, David (lots of those bible peeps) -- Billy Graham, Johnny Cash, Bono, Rob Bell, Stanley Hauerwas, Soren Keirkegaard, John Wesley & John Calvin (separate then together -- great conversations), John Cusack. My four sisters that i've never met!!! -- like i said lots of cool people out there i'd like to meet...
