Ep. 187 - Bread from Heaven
from Tell Me More Hosted by First Baptist Arlington
Katy Reed Hodges and Curt Grice kick off this week’s Tell Me More with a lively (and very un-scripted) conversation about Ash Wednesday—why it matters, how FBCA prepares the ashes, and what it means to practice repentance in a way that’s thoughtful, Baptist, and deeply formative (including a sweet at-home moment as Katy and her husband help their boys understand: “God loves me.”). Then they shift into a rich walk through John 6: the feeding of the 5,000 (and then some), Jesus’ abundance, the crowd’s mixed motives, and the hard words that follow—where many walk away, but the disciples stay because, as Peter says, “You have the words of eternal life.” Along the way, Katy highlights key life-of-the-church moments coming up at FBCA (youth Encounter Weekend, ordination/licensing, and congregational votes), while Curt offers pastoral and theological insights on Jesus’ authority, presence, and refusal to be molded by public expectations. Warm, funny, and full of depth—this episode points us again to the powerful, good Jesus.
