Ep. 145 - Love is the Greatest!

In this episode of "Tell Me More," hosts Katy Reed-Hodges and Dr. Dennis Wiles delve into the transformative power of love as presented in Colossians 3:1-17, under the 2025 theme "Flourishing Together: Rooted in Christ" and the Spring focus "Walk This Way!"

Join us as we explore the concept of human flourishing through the lens of character and virtue, a key pillar in the Global Flourishing Study. We discuss the intriguing idea of "Inaugurated Eschatology," and how we live at the crossroads of This Present Evil Age and The Age to Come. This duality offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and transformation, as seen in the teachings of the Apostle Paul.

The episode reveals the fundamental truth that followers of Jesus have been redeemed, restored, and raised to a new life in Him, emphasizing our faith journey to know our Creator and become more like Him. Embracing the foremost virtue—love—we reflect on N. T. Wright’s insightful analogy that the English word “love” is overstretched and in need of guidance.

Whether you are a lifelong believer or new to exploring faith, this episode promises inspiring insights and a deeper understanding of walking the path of love as we flourish together in Christ.
