Join special guest Eric Heller and Pastor Nate as we go into Eric's life experience and how it affects his daily life as a high school teacher and a member of our church board.

Discussion Questions

2. The conversation highlighted that relationships often create opportunities for influence. How have meaningful relationships impacted your own faith journey?

3. Eric compared love and truth to inertia and velocity. Which do you think the Church tends to emphasize more today, and what are the consequences when one is missing?

4. Throughout the discussion, there was an emphasis on consistency. Why is a consistent Christian witness often more powerful than a persuasive argument?

5. Pastor Nate and Eric discussed living faithfully in a culture that doesn't always share Christian values. What does it look like to remain faithful without becoming isolated or combative?

6. Eric emphasized the importance of small, daily acts of obedience. How have seemingly small decisions shaped who you are today?

7. The conversation pointed to the importance of humility and recognizing that we don't have everything figured out. How does humility help us engage difficult conversations with grace?
