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 of The After Sermon Eric sits down with Doug to unpack the launch of the new series Next Is Now. Doug reflects on the metaphor of running a race—drawing from scripture, personal experience, and Plum Creek’s 20-year journey—to remind us that the work God has called us to isn’t finished. Together, the conversation looks back with gratitude at the faithfulness of those who have gone before us, while also looking ahead with passion and urgency toward what God is doing next. Doug shares how saying yes to God not only builds something greater than ourselves, but also shapes us personally, forming us into deeper followers of Jesus. As the church steps into a new season, the encouragement is clear: don’t coast, don’t be overwhelmed—run your leg of the race with faith, expectation, and joy, remembering that every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story needs Jesus.

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