After spending two decades as a record producer, rock musician, drug addict, and practicing New Ager, Eric Barger (pronounced Bar-jer) is now widely recognized in the area of Christian Apologetics and Discernment Ministry. Through his best-selling books, video productions, and the Take A Stand! Seminars, he has sought to refute unscriptural ecumenism, universalism, the curious normalization of Mormonism, Islam, New Age philosophy, and other aberrant religious systems inside Christianity. He is an ordained minister with United Evangelical Churches, and serves as the co-host of Understanding The Times with Jan Markell currently airing on over 800 radio stations each week.
