In this episode of Outpost 318, Eric dives deep into the concept of vulnerability, unpacking how it is often misunderstood in today’s society and why embracing it is actually the key to unlocking true strength.

We’ve all been taught that to be a strong man, we need to hide our emotions, avoid asking for help, and face the world without flinching. But true strength is not about toughness — it’s about embracing vulnerability. Eric explores how vulnerability leads to deeper connections, emotional resilience, and stronger relationships. He also connects this idea to both psychological research and Biblical principles, showing how embracing vulnerability leads to spiritual and emotional healing.

If you’ve been struggling to open up or feel disconnected, this episode is for you.

In this bold and unfiltered message, Pastor Eric pulls no punches as he calls out one of the greatest threats to the modern Church—passive, pansy, half-hearted Christianity. Drawing from Revelation 3 and the words of Jesus to the lukewarm church in Laodicea, we’re confronted with this truth: lukewarm faith makes Christ want to vomit.

This isn’t a message for the faint-hearted. It's for those ready to trade comfort for calling. It's for the battle-worn believer who knows there's more. It’s for the ones who want to burn again.

If you’re tired of playing church, if your faith has felt stale, if you’re ready to fight for your soul and your calling—this episode is your wake-up call.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• Why Jesus hates lukewarm faith

• How comfort breeds spiritual apathy

• Why passive Christians lose spiritual battles

• What it means to live built different in a broken world

What if the greatest battle you’ll ever fight is the one inside your head?

In this episode, we dive deep into the battlefield that most people never see—but everyone feels. Your mind. It's where anxiety grows, fear speaks, doubt whispers, and identity is shaped. But it's also where the voice of truth, peace, and purpose can take root—if you learn how to fight.

Pastor Eric unpacks biblical truths and practical strategies to:

• Recognize spiritual warfare that targets your thoughts
• Demolish toxic mindsets and lies with God’s Word
• Take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ
• Cultivate a renewed, transformed mind that leads to victory

Using passages from Romans 12, & 2 Corinthians 10, this message equips you to fight back against fear, shame, and confusion—and reclaim the mental territory the enemy has tried to steal.

💥 The war is real. But so is your authority in Christ.
