## Resource

Are you stressed, stuck, or constantly comparing yourself to everyone else? The problem might not be your circumstances — it might be that you're sitting in a seat that was never assigned to you. In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas delivers a word that will shift how you see your life, your purpose, and your next season. Drawing from his own story — homeless at 16, a high school dropout eating from trash cans — Pastor Eric shows what happened when he stopped chasing everyone else's seat and got into his own.
