trouble with second query in multiple loop template

I’m trying to create a frontpage template that displays the latest post then below that a specific set of featured posts. I created two loops and the the first loop with the latest post works but the second loop is not working. The second loop is trying to do a query to pull the set of featured posts by their post ids using post_in. I may have this all wrong because I’m new to PHP but any help would be appreciated. This is the frontpage: https://www.awakeninthedream.com/wordpress/

Here is the code for the template:
