    We've Lost That Loving Feeling

    We used to love love. Now we scroll past it.In this message from our Summer Lovin' series, Pastor Doug Wekenman explores why our culture seems to be losing its capacity for real love, both romantic and relational. Drawing from neuroscience and Scripture, he walks through the three stages of love, how our dopamine-driven world is short-circuiting the process, and what it looks like to recover that loving feeling. From Romans 12 and the wisdom of Solomon to practical Christ-centered challenges for singles and married couples alike, this is a call to stop conforming and start being transformed.

    How to Friend // Doug Wekenman

    In a world more connected than ever, why are so many people still lonely? In the kickoff message to our new relationship series “Summer Lovin” Pastor Doug answers that question. Whether you're single, dating, married, healing from heartbreak, or simply looking for deeper community, this message will challenge you to stop asking, “How do I find better friends?” and start asking, “How can I become one?” Because the friendships you build today may shape the person you become tomorrow. Friendship is one of God’s greatest gifts and one of His greatest tools for helping us follow Jesus well.

    The Real Reason Dating Feels Impossible | Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 133

    Modern loneliness is deeper than dating apps and social media. In this episode, the team talks about why relationships feel harder than ever, the growing divide between men and women, and how culture, politics, fear, and online narratives are shaping the way people view each other. They also unpack the heart behind the Red Rocks Singles Conference, the rise in singleness, and why real conversations and real community still matter. Maybe the answer isn’t avoiding people altogether. Maybe it’s learning how to meet in the middle again.

    Healthy & Holy // Ryan & Doug Wekenman

    This message is a call back to what matters most. Through the stories of Elijah and Moses, we see how easy it is to chase growth, comfort, success, or security while slowly losing the health of our souls. But God never called us to build our lives exhausted or distracted from His presence. In this sermon, Pastor Doug and Pastor Ryan talk about rest, burnout, idols, and the difference between pursuing God’s blessings versus pursuing God Himself. More than anything, we want to become a church marked by His presence, healthy in spirit and healthy in soul.

    Pressed…Not Crushed // Ryan Wekenman

    Stress is a normal part of life, but it was never meant to become our shepherd. In this message, Pastor Ryan explains how the Apostle Paul navigated pressure, uncertainty, and outcomes he couldn’t control. From prison cells to unanswered questions, Paul learned how to stop obsessing over circumstances and start trusting the presence of God in the middle of them. This sermon is a reminder that stress is not failure, and perplexity is not despair. Jesus is still a good shepherd, even in seasons that feel uncertain, overwhelming, or unresolved.

    God Interrupted Service For This Conversation | Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 132

    Avoiding reality is easier than ever. In this episode, Ryan and Doug talk about what happened when service unexpectedly went off-script on Sunday and turned into an honest conversation about silence, solitude, distraction, and the things we keep avoiding. They explore the difference between solitude and isolation, why constant noise can keep us spiritually numb, and what it looks like to “run into reality” instead of escaping it. Sometimes the next thing God is asking us to do is not complicated. It is the conversation, confession, or step we already know we need to take.
