📝 Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Other Pastors Podcast, we sit down with Eduardo Rivera, a young but seasoned church leader serving as the Central Production Director for People’s Church across six campuses. Eduardo shares the powerful story of how a single conversation at summer camp shifted his entire life trajectory—from a Coast Guard-bound high schooler in Connecticut to a passionate ministry leader in Oklahoma.
From portable church chaos to building synergy across multisite teams, Eduardo unpacks the deep convictions that fuel his leadership. Whether you're leading AVL, pastoring behind the scenes, or building a ministry team from scratch, this conversation is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and a few hilarious moments (including a bleeding lip during a worship set 😅).
