In this week’s episode of Tell Me More, host Ryan Chandler sits down with Dr. Dennis R. Wiles and Ashley Berryhill to talk about Engagement Month at First Baptist Church of Arlington — a season that celebrates living as a sent people. Together they discuss what it means to live missionally every day, highlight the church’s local and global partnerships, and share exciting opportunities for engagement trips in 2025.

Dr. Wiles also offers a rich theological reflection on what it means to be the Church — tracing his own spiritual formation, the evolution of his understanding of ecclesiology, and how this shapes FBCA’s focus on discipleship and transformation leading into 2026.

From the legacy of missions to the calling of the global church, this conversation reminds us that the Church isn’t just an organization — it’s the living, growing body of Christ in the world today.
