Ep. 209 - Everything Starts With God
from Tell Me More Hosted by First Baptist Arlington
The full team is back together on Tell Me More, and it's a joyful reunion, Katy returns to the studio after the loss of her mother, sharing how the church's support carried her through a hard season. From there, the crew dives into everything happening as summer winds down at First Baptist: the Engagement Night of Celebration for summer mission teams, a new "Grieving Your Friends" lunch series, and the flurry of fall promotions, Big Enough for Big Church, First at First, and Merge Weekend, as families gear up for a new school year. The heart of the episode turns to what's ahead: a churchwide focus on prayer throughout August, setting the stage for a fall series on evangelism called "Gone Fishing." Dr. Wells shares what shaped his study of prayer this summer, from the Psalms and John 17 to books like Pray First and Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools — and opens up about a season of deeper, more constant prayer in his own life, sensing God's presence in everyday moments and conversations. The conversation touches on living beyond a "practical atheism," the example of Elisha's servant, and how staying spiritually attuned opens unexpected doors to share faith with others. It's a warm, honest episode about grief, community, and getting ready to seek God together as a church family.
