Welcome to The After Sermon by Plum Creek Church.

This bite-sized discussion is where we get to sit down with our communicators and ask a few follow up questions connected to the weekend message, unpack it on a deeper level, and explore how it all relates to our journey of following Jesus more fully.

In this episode Daniel sits down with Eric Parks to unpack a message centered on one foundational question: what’s in first place in your life? Drawing from Luke 10 and the story of Mary and Martha, Eric reframes a familiar passage—not as a conversation about busyness, but about priority. What sits on the gold medal platform of your life? Whatever everything else bends toward may already have first place.

In a cultural moment shaped by financial security, achievement, and inherited assumptions about success, this episode explores Jesus’ invitation to intentional reordering. Eric shares how discipleship begins with recognizing that we are already arranged around something—and following Jesus requires a conscious rearrangement. Together, Daniel and Eric talk about generosity, the way of Jesus, and why putting him first is not about adding another activity to your week, but about re-centering your entire life.

This conversation is also available on our YouTube channel along with the full message that this discussion is based on.
