They reflect on the previous Sunday's celebration of Dr. Wiles' 25th anniversary at First Baptist Arlington, the packed sanctuary, the tributes from fellow pastors, and the behind-the-scenes staff effort that pulled it all together.\nConnor shares what's making this the college ministry's best fall start yet: new touchpoints with UTA students through summer orientations and a breakfast burrito cart, a record-breaking Thursday night turnout, and a rain-soaked Dollar Steak Night that turned into an unexpected opportunity for deeper conversations. The group digs into what a \"gospel appointment\" actually looks like and how intentional follow-up has become a hallmark of the ministry.\nThey also look ahead to a busy season at FBCA: a refreshed Wednesday night gathering of worship and prayer (The Table), care ministries including a new anxiety support group, the launch of Alpha, an evangelism-focused program for people exploring faith, and a new fall sermon series through the book of Jonah called \"Gone Fishing.\"\nIt's a candid, funny, and heartfelt look at what God is doing across the church's ministries — and the team working behind the scenes to make it happen.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/GcDhMOrORvrFS3Fh9sQz-Cx7btazFxGSz6jeCzh3cyg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNjI1/NjAwY2UyMWQ0Mjlm/YjU2NzMwODJhYzY5/N2U3NS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
