Wondering what it looks like to follow Jesus when you haven't got it all figured out? This week at Crowd, we're getting honest about the ups and downs of the faith journey through the lens of Philippians 3. From Will's dodgy javelin throwing days to Dan's insights about spiritual training, we're unpacking what it really means to 'press on' without burning out.

Dan Orange takes us through a fresh look at Paul's letter, exploring how the Christian life is less like a Usain Bolt sprint and more like finding your own pace in a marathon. Plus, during Conversation Street, we tackle those tricky questions about dealing with past hurts, finding sustainable spiritual rhythms, and what it means that God's actually pursuing us while we pursue Him.

Whether you're just curious about faith or you've been following Jesus for years, this honest conversation about keeping going when life gets messy is for you. Because sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is admit you haven't got it all sorted.
