About this podcast
Commonfolk is a non-scripted, casual chat about faith and life. Each episode will be a conversation between the hosts and an occasional guest about simply applying Sunday’s message to the remaining 6 days of the week. Jason Cavadini is a father, farmer, and agricultural educator. Eric Jackson is a husband, dog dad, and pastor. They both have a goal of making faith in Christ accessible to common folk, and that’s just what this podcast aims to do!
