Hosted by Katy Reed Hodges, Luke Stehr, and Dennis Wiles, this episode of Tell Me More trades the usual sermon recap for a candid reflection on their experience at Ascent.

After a brief, lighthearted start about Saint Patrick’s Day, the conversation centers on what made Ascent so meaningful: deep friendships, thoughtful moments of prayer and encouragement, and a shared sense of calling. Each host reflects on their experience—Luke on building ministry relationships, Katy on witnessing others step into their calling, and Dennis on seeing decades of vision and prayer come to life.

They describe Ascent as a humble, collaborative movement rooted in historic Christian faith, not a denomination, but a space for partnership and shared learning across churches and cultures. The episode highlights how these relationships—especially with global partners—are reshaping their understanding of mission as something mutual rather than one-sided.

Overall, it’s a warm and hopeful conversation about connection, calling, and joining God in a bigger story beyond any one church.
