Pastor Eric Blauer is the founder of Jacob’s Well, which he describes as a nondenominational church with a “neighborhood vision and city reaching vision.”
He has a graduate level degree in advanced chair set up and take down and has been known to move from bark to purr over a good dark beer or well crafted latte.
He blogs about spirituality and fitness, about what it means to be a peacemaker, about Burma refugees and even writes poetry once in a while.
He also writes about current events.
“I’m interested in a broad range of issues and find my inspiration on many fronts,” he said, noting he’s an evangelical pastor with moderate political views.

I am Frederick Christian Blauer IV, but I go by Eric, it sounds less like a megalomaniac but still hints at my Scandinavian destiny of coastal conquest and ultimate rule. I have accumulated a fair number of titles: son, brother, husband, father, pastor, writer, artist and a few other more colorful titles by my fanged fans. I am a lover of story be it heard, read or watched in all beauty, gory or glory. I write and speak as an exorcist or poltergeist, splashing holy water, spilling wine and breaking bread between the apocalypse and a sleeping baby. I am possessed by too many words and they get driven out like wild pigs and into the waters of my blog at www.fcb4.tumblr.com. I work as a pastor at Jacob’s Well Church (www.jacobswellspokane.com) across the tracks on ‘that’ side of town. I follow Christ in East Central Spokane among saints, sinners, angels, demons, crime, condoms, chaos, beauty, goodness and powerful weakness. I have more questions than answers, grey hairs than brown, fat than muscle, fire than fireplace and experience more love from my wife, family and friends than a man should be blessed with in one lifetime.
