Ever wonder what goes into preparing a sermon? In this episode of Pause, the Neighborhood Church podcast, Natalie sits down with Eric for a behind-the-scenes conversation on his message from Philippians 3. They dig deeper into what it means to press forward without chasing perfection, and how our past—both the hard seasons and the victories—can trap us if we let it. Eric opens up about his own testimony, the "rubber band" analogy for spiritual growth, and why having a heart that grieves for the lost matters so much. They also talk honestly about pushing past fear, building on a solid foundation, and trusting God to write the story of our lives one faithful step at a time. A warm, encouraging conversation for anyone needing a little extra perspective this week!
