Problems with the_content() template tag

I have the following layout I want to achieve:

<div class="container">

  <h1>HEADING</h1>
  <p>PARAGRAPH 1</p>

  (Custom widget area with three Bootstrap cards side-by-side...for the sake of space, I'm not including the code)

  <p>PARAGRAPH 2</p>

</div>

Ideally, I would like to hard-code the div and the h1 into the page.php template file, call a custom widget area in page.php (utilizing dynamic_sidebar()), and use the_content() in page.php to display paragraph 1 and 2 from the content entered in the WordPress Dashboard.

Here is where I run into a problem. In page.php, I would have the following code (slightly simplified, but this is the gist of it):

<div class="container">

<h1>HEADING</h1>
																									         																										
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'card_widget_area' ); ?>	
	
</div>

I want paragraph 1 to be before the sidebar and paragraph 2 to be after the sidebar, yet, when I utilize the_content(), I get both paragraphs before the sidebar. Similarly, if I were to call the_content() after the sidebar, both paragraphs would display instead of only the second paragraph as desired. Is there a way to display only one of the paragraphs at a time using the_content() template tag? And can you use the_content() template tag more than once in a single template file?

Perhaps I am missing something or making things far more confusing than they need to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
