We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Dennis Wiles back to the podcast! Katy, Luke, and Dr. Wiles reconnect after his recent study break, and he shares some fascinating insights about his time away and what he's been learning.

In this episode, Dr. Wiles discusses his recent Sunday sermon, "What Happened?" – a thought-provoking message that really gets to the heart of human experience. They explore this year's compelling theme, "Flourishing Together: Rooted in Christ," and discuss why August focuses on "Gold's – God's Gym" and what that means for our spiritual and physical well-being.

The hosts tackle some important and timely issues, including the mental health crisis affecting so many Americans today and the rising levels of anxiety in our communities. What makes this discussion particularly meaningful is how they connect these contemporary challenges to the foundational story in Genesis 3 and its relevance for our lives today. It's a thoughtful exploration of how our spiritual health and mental well-being are deeply interconnected.

You'll also hear about Dr. Wiles' experiences during his study break and gain valuable perspectives on navigating life's difficulties while finding hope and guidance. This episode offers the kind of genuine, substantive conversation that helps listeners think more deeply about faith, health, and what it means to flourish as human beings. Don't miss this enriching discussion!
