Text The Influence Exchange Podcast and host J.V.

What if your calling took you from helping people spiritually to protecting them physically?

In episode 32 of The Influence Exchange, J.V. sits down with former FBI Special Agent Eric Robinson, who shares his powerful and unconventional journey, from 12 years in Christian ministry to 24 years serving in the FBI.

Eric opens up about why he left ministry, the unexpected stress that led to that decision, and how stepping into federal law enforcement changed his perspective on life, pressure, and human behavior.

This is not a highlight reel conversation. It’s real, raw, and insightful.

You’ll hear:

What it really takes to become an FBI agent

Behind-the-scenes experiences from working gangs, terrorism, and crimes against children

A powerful counter-terrorism case that could have ended very differently

The truth about human behavior, both good and evil

Why is resilience stronger than most people realize

How to rebuild identity and purpose after major life transitions

Eric also shares insights from his upcoming memoir: “Irreverent: From Saving Souls to Chasing Sinners in the FBI”, a story of transformation, purpose, and real-life experience on both sides of humanity.
