In this week’s episode of Tell Me More, Katy and Dr. Wiles dive deeper into what’s happening in the life of our church and unpack Sunday’s message, “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.”

Drawing from Matthew 5:13–16, Dr. Wiles explores what it means to live as salt and light—to bring influence, inspiration, and truth into our relationships and communities. God created us for connection, and through those connections, we find purpose: helping others know God, experience God, and serve God.

Katy and Dr. Wiles talk about the importance of faithful presence—showing up with love and hospitality in our neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces. They reflect on how friendship, not argument, is often the bridge to faith in a world that’s lost its spiritual language.

Tune in for an encouraging and practical conversation about being inclusive, invitational, and intentional in every relationship. Because when we live out the love of Jesus where we are, every day can truly be a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

The hosts discuss practical ways to break down social barriers and build authentic relationships within the church body, emphasizing how every member—regardless of status or gifts—plays a vital role in God's mission.
