Ep. 208 - Self-Control: Joseph
from Tell Me More Hosted by First Baptist Arlington
In this episode of Tell Me More, Luke Stehr and Dr. Wiles catch up on a full and eventful summer — from a granddaughter's poolside birthday bash to a summer packed with missions trips, funerals, and unexpected gospel connections between students serving in Spain and Toronto. They also look ahead to what's next: a churchwide focus on prayer throughout August (anchored in John 17), a fall evangelism emphasis with guest preachers, and the launch of "The Table" on Wednesday nights in September. The heart of the conversation turns to the summer's Fruit of the Spirit series, wrapping up with a look at Joseph and self-control. Dr. Wiles reflects on Joseph's journey — from the brash younger brother flaunting his dreams, to the man who resisted temptation in Potiphar's house, endured years in an Egyptian prison, and ultimately chose grace over vengeance with the brothers who betrayed him. Along the way, they dig into what it practically looks like to "walk by the Spirit" day to day — starting mornings in Scripture before the phone, praying through a daily rhythm, and keeping your spiritual "radar" up for where God is at work. A conversation about growth, grace, and what self-control looks like when it's shaped by a life connected to God.
