Tell Me More

Join hosts Katy Reed Hodges, Luke Stehr, and Ryan Chandler as they unpack one of Jesus's most paradoxical teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. In this thought-provoking episode, they explore why being "poor in spirit" might actually be the key to living a truly blessed life.


The trio dives deep into Matthew 5:3-5, discussing how authentic happiness often comes through embracing our spiritual poverty rather than denying it. They tackle tough questions like: What happens when we can't admit we need help? Why is mourning actually a sacred practice? And could meekness be our superpower in a world that celebrates aggression?


From practical insights about extending grace to others to vulnerable conversations about personal struggles with pride, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be blessed in God's upside-down kingdom. Whether you're feeling spiritually empty or wrestling with humility, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to see your weakness in a whole new light.


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!
