Ep. 181 - Radical Obedience
from Tell Me More Hosted by First Baptist Arlington
This week on Tell Me More, Katy, Luke, and Dennis dive into one of the Bible’s most challenging passages: Genesis 22 and the story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice Isaac. Together, they wrestle honestly with the realities of suffering, testing, and the mystery of God’s ways—exploring how trials can either turn us inward toward bitterness or outward toward deeper trust. Along the way, the conversation turns practical and pastoral: How can you tell the difference between natural grief and making pain your identity? What does it look like to walk with someone who’s hurting without trying to “snip the cocoon” and shortcut the process God may be using to shape them? They also discuss how to read difficult Scripture faithfully—slowing down, considering historical context, and remembering that God (not us) is the main character of every story. The episode closes with updates on church life and upcoming opportunities, plus an exciting preview of the team’s Rome trip—capturing on-the-ground church history content to bring back to the congregation.
