In Week 1 of our brand-new series, Rowdy Church! Pastor Doug Wekenman unpacks what it means to be a church of imperfect people who can’t stay quiet about Jesus. Based on Acts 4:20, this series captures the heart of Red Rocks Church culture: we’re not a Christian country club—we’re a party for prodigals, a hospital for the broken, and a family on mission to make Heaven more crowded.
Read MoreFrom Mario Kart theology to real stories of spiritual warfare, this episode dives into what it means to be awake and aware in the spiritual arena. We talk about personal encounters, why not everything “spiritual” is from God, and how to recognize counterfeit gifts and practices. You’ll hear about overcoming fear, renewing your mind, and walking in the authority God has already given you.
