Tell Me More

This week on Tell Me More, we welcome a dynamic duo—Curt Grice and Luke Stehr—for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about Sunday’s sermon, “The Engaged Church.”

Drawing from Acts 11:19–30 and 13:1–3, Curt and Luke unpack what it means for the Church to live as God’s global community—His new temple—and how we’re called to step into His Great Plan of Redemption with availability, faith, and purpose.

Together, we explore the inspiring example of the Church at Antioch, highlighting the characteristics of a truly engaged church:

Centered on the Gospel

Marked by God’s presence, grace, and gladness

Diverse, relational, and welcoming

Growing and disciple-making

Responsive to teaching and the Spirit’s leading

Generous, adventurous, and full of faith

Curt and Luke also reflect on how God’s power shows up when His people say “yes,” and how our own church—since 1871—has been stepping into its potential by remaining faithful to The Jesus Way.

Whether you missed the sermon or want to dive deeper, this episode will encourage you to consider what engagement looks like in your own walk and in the life of our church family.

What is Tell Me More?

Tell Me More is a weekly podcast hosted by Katy Reed Hodges and Luke Stehr, where they unpack the Sunday sermon with Dr. Dennis Wiles. This podcast is designed on the premise that Dr. Wiles always has more to say than can fit in a 35 minute sermon - so we have fun discussing it here each week. We hope that in listening you are educated, encouraged and more connected to the pastor and his teaching!
